Zhu Guangfa always acted like a simpleton in front of Du Xiuzhi, but that was only the persona he adopted in front of the one he loved; he was far from foolish.
He wasn't as naïve as a minor nor as dim-wittedly transparent as a college graduate fresh out of school.
He had entered society in his teen years and didn't believe in love without reason in this world.
Every surprise and gain must be accompanied by an effort.
That's why he said those words with such concern.
Upon hearing this, Du Xiuzhi rolled her eyes and said: "Nonsense, don't make things up about Mr. Shen. You don't know how formidable Mr. Shen is; he is just purely kind-hearted, feeling sorry for us."
Zhu Guangfa scratched his head, clearly Du Xiuzhi's words did not convince him.
Du Xiuzhi sighed and explained further, "What do you think Mr. Shen could possibly want from you?"
Zhu Guangfa looked at Du Xiuzhi.
