Helan Xiuse recalled Yue Tingfeng's behavior, then added, "Mommy, Yue Tingfeng is not one to show kindness to a woman. He is cruel. Moreover, he already has Yan Qingsi. He... seems to like her... he seems to be really into Yan Qingsi…"
Helan Xiuse retold the incident at the Jade Orchid Pavilion to Mrs. Helan. "Ma, it's useless. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even touch me. I... am not as pretty as Yan Qingsi."
Mrs. Helan sneered. "Hmph, there are no cats in this world that reject fish. Never expect a man to be loyal. This is just the beginning of the test. It would seem that this kid is hard to bait."
Mrs. Helan caressed her gently. "Xiuxiu, you must trust Mommy. For women to ensnare a man, it's never about appearance."
Helan Xiuse frowned. "He doesn't like me. If he doesn't like me, I can't get close to him at all."
"I'm not asking for him to like you. All we need is just for you to marry into the Yue family."
