Later, when hard-pressed by Shen Gongshen, Liu Suisui covered her face and wept.
She felt incredibly aggrieved. “My father is dead and my mother has remarried; I am alone with no one to depend on. I traveled a thousand miles to the capital just because I wanted to marry a wealthy husband. Is that so wrong?”
Shen Gongshen pressed closer, step by step. “Must he only be wealthy? Would someone with both power and wealth not do?”
Liu Suisui peeked up at him, her gaze timid and delicate.
After a long while, she asked in a small voice, “Does Cousin-Uncle… also like Suisui?”
Shen Gongshen leaned down, his voice dropping to a low, heart-stirring register.
“Even my heart of stone cannot withstand Suisui’s myriad charms.”
