Chapter 81.1 The Scum Son and Mother’s Scheme [2]
Zi You turned to leave, but the study door was pushed open. Zhao HongXiang, wearing colorful clothing, actually opened the door and walked inside.
Zi You secretly sneered. It seemed it wasn’t the Duke who wanted to see her, but the Duke’s son. Before the engagement in her previous life, Zhao HongXiang also met her once privately. But that was when she was fourteen years old.

He couldn’t help but look lustfully at her, “You meimei [literally younger sister, can be used to denote familiarity], don’t have to mind such manners. I didn’t expect that meimei is more beautiful in these past two months without seeing you. I…”
