When Shi Yalin heard Shi Gen's words, she was filled with anger.
The initial reason that stopped her from chasing after Chi Yang explicitly was that she thought that he was allergic to other women. However, when Chi Yang rescued her after she fell into the water, she knew that he was not allergic to her.
Initially, she had wanted to express her love for him then. Yet, when she thought about how she was only 15 years old, she held herself back.
To get close to Chi Yang and be with him, she would come to the Chi family to visit Grandpa Chi every holiday or school holiday. Therefore, she had always regarded herself as Chi Yang's fiancée.
However, just as she was about to turn 18—at the age where it was appropriate to get the Shi family to help her propose marriage—someone threw a wrench in the works. The key takeaway here was that it was a woman from the Nangong family.
"Did you hear what Grandpa said?" Shi Gen looked at Shi Yalin unhappily.
