Isn't Father Pei's remark far too blunt?
Huo Duan is still present, yet he made such a pointed comment.
This made Pei Qingqing feel completely humiliated!
How was she supposed to explain this? What would she do when she faced Huo Duan after returning home?
In an instant, Pei Qingqing's mood grew agitated.
She even started to look at Father Pei with a changed expression and demeanor.
Her face fell slightly, and she chose to remain silent.
Father Pei suddenly noticed Pei Qingqing's subtle display of emotion and turned his head to look at her.
One might assume he would realize his mistake or perhaps offer a word or two of comfort.
Unexpectedly, Father Pei mocked her again, "What's the matter? You seem unhappy now. Is it that you think I misspoke, or is it that you don't want to find someone who can contribute to the Pei Family?"
Pei Qingqing glanced sideways at Huo Duan. He was still smiling faintly, watching her and Father Pei.
