When Mrs. Gu sent someone to summon him, Gu Xun's first instinct was to refuse.
'He and Lin Jixue had nothing to talk about. What difference would it make if he saw her or not?'
'No, seeing her would only make him more annoyed!'
"Sir, you'd better go back now. If Mrs. Gu has to come get you herself, wouldn't that make you a laughingstock?"
Gu Xun pressed his temples, his head aching. "Mother is just making a scene with this outsider."
"Mrs. Gu is only doing this for your own good. You still haven't married and had children, and it's become her greatest worry."
'The young masters from other families all marry and have children when they come of age. Their elders don't have to worry about a thing.'
'But their master is just too stubborn. He's almost thirty and still refuses to marry.'
'If he delays any longer, his life will be over before he knows it. What wife could he possibly marry then?'
'What children could he have?'
