The farce with Jinbao, though disgusting, had paradoxically served to tear down the hazy paper-thin wall between Lu Xiao and Su Tang.
Their two hearts had unexpectedly drawn closer, as if they were a real married couple now.
That said, Lu Xiao felt he had wronged Su Tang.
She had married him, a pure and innocent young woman, yet there had been no wedding, no formal ceremony. She had just been living with him all this time, their status ambiguous.
To have her name dragged through the mud by someone like Jinbao on top of it all... the injustice was too great.
He felt a simmering determination within him; he absolutely had to make up for what he owed Su Tang.
As it happened, Mr. and Mrs. Lu were crestfallen with shame over the incident with Jinbao. Feeling they had lost too much face to stay any longer, they were preparing to pack their bags and return to their hometown.
