Chapter 102: I'm Making an Exception for You

Seeing Qiuchen's cautious look, wanting to say something but not daring to, Yuan Ge doesn't bother to continue mocking him and patiently replies instead, "He's not really an official or a merchant, he's sort of - a teacher at the Directorate of Imperial Academy[1], except that he lives abroad all the time and teaches foreigners."

Yuan Ge, now more accustomed to Qiuchen's ways, pauses at this point and gives him a "Do you understand?" look, until he sees Qiuchen nod his head in understanding, he continues, "My parents usually come back to China once every couple of years, so I have this house all to myself. Come on over and I'll show you around."
