Married a Secret Billionaire

After that banquet, Toph became silent.

Even Wendy noticed it. The house used to be full of Toph’s laughter, but recently, he had been unusually quiet. He would either frown or sigh, and sometimes he’d lock himself in his room.

Zuko and Lina were conflicted after they figured out the whole story. They did not want to see him feeling down like this all the time.

Coincidentally, Renee realized she had gone too far and apologized. Toph’s face lit up. The gloomy clouds cleared, and he was his radiant self again like the little sun he always was.

“Hey, Zuko.” Once, Toph asked Zuko in a hushed voice, “Is it true that the more a girl picks on you unreasonably, the more it proves she can’t be without you?”

Zuko frowned as he pondered. He felt it was not easy to give a definite answer to that—because Lina never treated him like that.

Lina could get jealous, angry, and argue with him. Despite that, the two of them always made up soon after and got along well. Plus, Lina was clear-headed. She would not get upset without reason.

On the other hand, Renee was somewhat extreme.

However, Zuko did not say this out loud. Instead, he patted Toph’s shoulder and chuckled. “We’re men and can’t be as petty.”

“I think I’m already laid back enough.” Toph scratched his head. “Bro, what else should I do to make her happy? Should I really quit playing games? Isn’t that like asking for my life? You can ask dad if he can quit smoking…”

Zuko paused as if sensing something and then smiled mysteriously. “The thing to quit isn’t the games,” he remarked. It was actually the person responsible for creating these games.

“Huh?” Toph looked puzzled.

Zuko sighed helplessly. “Toph, if I were Renee, I’d get irritated too, seeing you this clueless!”

Just then, a call came in from the company, and Zuko had to rush back immediately to handle some matters.

Toph observed his brother hurrying away, murmuring, “Why can’t things be stated plainly? Why must they be left to guessing?”
