Huo Yanting watched as Chu Tingting walked out of the door dejectedly, his expression immediately returning to indifference.
Just thinking about how malicious she was—actually getting someone to throw stones at the pear garden's gate—made him feel he wouldn't give her another chance.
His future wife should, first and foremost, be kind. Otherwise, marrying someone as scheming and calculating as Chu Tingting would not only harm him but also bring disaster to his descendants.
Thinking of this, Huo Yanting wondered if he might be overthinking it.
Still, when it comes to one's own interests, thinking further ahead shouldn't be a bad thing.
That evening, Chu Tingting indeed went alone to the Huo family's grand estate.
As soon as she stepped in, Mrs. Huo started talking: "Yanting said there's an important guest he needs to meet tonight and will eat outside. Tingting, I'm so sorry to have called you over here alone."
