Chapter 245

Shen Yuzhi’s heart, which had been pounding wildly, gradually calmed down under the soothing effect of Nan Yu’s voice. He felt a pang of shame. He had always thought of himself as someone who would dare to face the consequences of his actions. Although he feared his parents discovering the truth about his relationship with Nan Yu, he had always told himself that if it ever came to light, he would be willing to be honest with them and bear the outcome. Yet, when the situation was suddenly exposed by Lü Wei, his instinctive reaction had been to hide. This realization brought a profound sense of shame. It seemed he wasn't as strong as he had imagined, and he wouldn't necessarily be the first to stand up and face the music.
