"Me? Impossible!"
Mo Qi immediately refused, "She is already married to Lu Mian, how could I protect her anymore? If discovered, her reputation would be ruined for life!"
"Are you concerned about her reputation, or afraid that if discovered, your own reputation would be destroyed?" Zhuo Junli raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly.
Mo Qi's face turned pale, and he quickly said, "What does my reputation matter? I haven't married, I have only an illegitimate son, and he will have his own future!
But Ling'er is different; she has already been scorned by the people of Jiang Du City because of me. If she gets implicated again, how could I help her?"
"If she gets implicated again, won't you just marry her? Anyway, as long as Ling'er has someone to rely on for life, it's not difficult for our Prime Minister's Estate to support her for a lifetime." Zhuo Junli, half-jokingly, yet his words made Mo Qi very tempted.
