Yaoyao looked at the determined look in her eye and understood Ji'er's thoughts. She frowned and said with reason, "But you have to remember that love can't be forced. Even if you like Lil Qi, he doesn't feel the same way about you. After all, he is much older than you are and it's the first time he has seen you today since you've grown. It must be difficult for him to see you as a woman."
Ji'er's pretty eyes dimmed when she heard this. Her fingers tightened on her lap.
This had crossed her mind before.
Yaoyao sighed. "If you really like Lil Qi and must marry him, we can request Father to decree for Lil Qi to become your husband, but Lil Qi might not be happy about it."
Ji'er was silent for a long time before she nodded. "I understand."
Yaoyao gave her a doubtful look. "What do you plan to do next?"
Ji'er leaned on her shoulder and said a little tiredly, "I'm not going to do anything and I won't ask Father for a decree."
