Chapter 97. How did you live to be so old?

Shen Gu Mirai felt her heart falter under Beichuan Si's gaze but still clenched her teeth and puffed out her chest, her delicate face etched with determination.

She wanted to share Beichuan Si's worries and solve his troubles.

Beichuan Si only looked at her for a moment before averting his gaze, his voice cold as he spoke,

"Please help by asking for money."

Pfft—

Shen Gu Mirai nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. She couldn't help panting, gritting her teeth as she emphasized, word by word,

"I don't want Mr. Temple's money!"

Did Beichuan Si really see her as someone so greedy?

Shen Gu Mirai was so angry she almost wanted to reach out and grab his expressionless face.

"I'm just joking," Beichuan Si said without changing his expression, catching Shen Gu Mirai's inadvertently extended hand and deflecting it to the side. Then, lifting his black eyes, he spoke calmly,

"I just don't want you to get involved in these matters."
