Chapter 20 Apology
In the library, Danheng sat behind the service desk, holding a book and reading quietly.

He had already read all the books in the library, and what he was reading now were all books purchased from traveling merchants from all over Douluo Continent.

Some were even county annals, such as the record that a village called Shenghun Village in the Tiandou Empire once produced a Soul Saint. He would also read these, but his reading speed was frighteningly fast.

This also led to the situation that although Dan Heng's salary was quite generous, he always ended up spending more than he earned.

Now that he has a wife, he cooks and his wife buys groceries, and it is his wife who pays for the furniture at home, so he can barely maintain the balance.

When I was almost at the end of the book, a shadow fell over me.

Dan Heng raised his head, looked at the curator with a smile on his face, and waited for her words.

"Danheng, you must be very happy to have married such a beautiful and virtuous wife, right? She is willing to follow you, but you can't take advantage of her love and not have any surprises."

The curator persuaded.

“……” Dan Heng hummed.

The atmosphere in the library is very good and there is no intrigue among colleagues.

When they heard the curator bring up the topic, they all asked Danheng in a low voice whether he had a honeymoon after his marriage.

Some also said that he should be nicer to his wife. At first glance, Gu Yuena is a woman who knows how to live.

Dan Heng thought of his cheap wife who always innovated on her own and wasted a lot of food, and nodded stiffly.

"Hey, Danheng, so what gift are you going to prepare for Nana today?"

The curator has not forgotten his original intention.

Several colleagues also came over and chattered about their suggestions.

Some said flowers, some said jewels, some said rouge... They wished Dan Heng could buy them all.

The curator raised his hand and pressed it, then looked at Dan Heng with a smile, "Dan Heng, do you have any ideas?"

Dan Heng shook his head and said honestly, "No money."

Afraid that the curator and others would not believe him, he pointed to a pile of books nearby, all of which he had bought from traveling merchants.

It’s not that he likes reading so much, but once the habit is formed, it’s hard to change it.

"..." The curator's mouth twitched. She finally understood why Dan Heng was out of money.

At this time, the deputy curator said sourly: "Marrying such a beautiful wife, but doing nothing will make her change her mind! Danheng, you should learn from me. Look at the necklace I bought for my wife."

The deputy curator is a middle-aged man who is very jealous of Dan Heng...!
On Danheng's wedding day, his jealousy reached its peak when he saw the bride, Gu Yuena.

The curator frowned and glanced at the deputy curator unhappily.

It's not a good idea to expose someone's weaknesses when you insult him. The deputy director sounded like he was cursing Dan Heng.

Dan Heng shook his head and was about to say something.

Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise outside.

A young man ran in, his face flushed, and shouted, "There are so many people outside! They moved so many boxes of treasures! I saw so much gold, silver and jewelry!"

Everyone looked at each other, all confused.

Even if there really is such a domineering person in this small town, why would he come to the library?
Soon, two men came in at the door. They were wearing festive red and white clothes and carrying a load on their shoulders. A large treasure chest without a lid was shaking, and it was full of gold ingots.

In Douluo Continent, gold ingots are not circulating currency, but expensive treasures.

Now, one box would probably cost more than 100,000 gold soul coins!

Everyone's eyes widened, and except for Dan Heng, everyone else almost forgot how to breathe.

Then came another pair of men, carrying a treasure chest filled with jewels.

The deputy curator glanced at the jewel necklace in his hand and silently put it into his arms.

Compared to any of the jewels in the treasure chest, his necklace was like a small piece of jewel, and it was really not worth showing off. More than 20 people came in and brought in more than 10 treasure chests.

Everyone's eyes widened as they watched, unable to take their eyes off it.

I wish I could get into it.

Dan Heng frowned slightly and looked towards the door.

A slick man walked in. He was the mayor of the town.

Although he is the city lord in name, he does not actually have much power. In places near the Star Dou Great Forest, the city lord is extremely cautious, fearing that he might offend a soul master and behead him.

In the ten years before him, more than twenty city lords had been replaced.

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, the city lord walked to the front of the service desk and said, "Mr. Dan Heng, these are all given to you by a friend. He said that he had caused trouble for Mr. Dan Heng because of his fierce waves before..."

"These are his apology gifts. I hope Mr. Danheng can accept them."

"When he is ready, he will come to apologize."

The city lord was smiling, and there was a hint of flattery in his eyes when he looked at Dan Heng.

"!!!" Everyone looked at Dan Heng in surprise again.

I didn't expect such a big show was just for Dan Heng?
Dan Heng has kept a low profile for so many years. Could there be some bigger background that they don't know about?
It was just an apology gift, but he gave so many treasures.

The deputy director's face turned pale and he was filled with fear. He wanted to slap himself in the face. Why did he act so pretentiously just now?
If Dan Heng holds a grudge against me, then everything will be over, right?

Dan Heng immediately understood that this was a show put on by Prince Zhu.

Although it was called an apology gift, Dan Heng actually didn't care about Prince Zhu's previous arrogance. Instead, he was quite helpless about the fuss the other party had made now. Wasn't this affecting his life?
Everyone around me looks at me with awe. Can I still be the same as before?

Dan Heng sighed and frowned, "Can you please tell that person that I have never blamed him and I don't need any apology."

The city lord said quickly, "How can this be possible? That gentleman said that if you don't accept it, it means you are still blaming him... By the way, the reason why that gentleman didn't come is that he is unwell."

"But he will come to visit..."

The city lord tried to persuade him, and seeing his expression, he seemed to be eager to cling to Dan Heng's thigh.

Dan Heng frowned. If he continued to let these people stay, it would only make things worse.

He walked out of the service counter, stopped at the nearest gift box, and took a bouquet of flowers from it.

"I just need this, and you can return the rest to him."

Dan Heng said without a doubt.

He then asked for leave from the curator and proposed to go home first.

The curator was now stunned by the fright. He nodded in agreement and watched Dan Heng leave.

The city lord wanted to say something but hesitated, not daring to ask him to stay.

How dare he say anything else when even that adult had to apologize.

……

When I got home, Gu Yuena was watering the vegetable fields.

Seeing Dan Heng coming back with a pile of books, she quickly walked over and smiled brightly at Dan Heng, "Husband, why are you back so early today?"

Dan Heng nodded and handed Gu Yuena the bouquet of flowers she had taken from the box.

"For you."

Gu Yuena looked at the red bouquet and blinked. A blush appeared on her beautiful face and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. "So beautiful..."
