Lu Sangjiu, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, wished the ground would swallow her whole.
'Haven't you shameless old men had enough? Do you think you're being funny?'
But she also understood they were teasing her on purpose. The more she tried to explain, the more it would egg them on, and she'd just end up looking petty. It simply wasn't worth it.
Clearly, Gu Jue knew this too, which was why even he didn't bother explaining.
Amidst the silence, Gu Jue secretly sent her a telepathic message. "My master means no harm. He just likes to joke around. You don't have to take it to heart."
Lu Sangjiu quickly replied, "It's fine. I know everyone is just teasing. I definitely won't take it seriously."
She added, "Mr. Gu is incredibly righteous. I'm already endlessly grateful that you were willing to help me. I'm the one to blame for getting carried away and speaking without thinking, causing you trouble, Mr. Gu. I'm truly sorry."
