Facing Gu Yuheng's accusations, Gu Jiu felt somewhat bewildered and even a bit wronged.
He wasn't neglecting his duties at all. He simply thought that since Third Master was with the young lady, there wouldn't be any danger, so he went downstairs for a stroll.
Keep in mind, to better protect the young lady's safety, his room was arranged right next to hers.
The soundproofing of this hotel was so-so—not particularly good, but not especially bad either.
Worried that he might overhear something not suitable for children if he stayed in his room, Gu Jiu decided to head downstairs to take a walk.
He never expected that, in the short while he left, such an incident would occur.
Even though he felt somewhat wronged inside, Gu Jiu knew he was at fault and didn't dare to defend himself. He simply admitted his mistake, "Third Master, I'm sorry, it was all due to my negligence."
If Yi Ningning still harbored some hope just now, then Gu Jiu's admittance extinguished all her expectations.
