He nodded stiffly in a vague promise to do as his dam asked. But the truth was that his mind was already conjuring several terrifying scenarios.

Nothing good could follow a request like that.

Xiao Zai wasn't blind about Gu Wei's nature -- he knew that he could be duplicitous and manipulative, although he had never been so towards Xiao Zai himself. If anything he always appreciated that Gu Wei didn't hide his true nature from him.
