"I don't care about what happens to me. But Old Madam would never accept our relationship. And I don't want her to hurt you out of anger or spite. That's why I always stepped back. And...I thought that there are much more suitable men for you who can give you a comfortable life than me," he chuckled as a tear slid down his cheek.
"I am just a servant of the Jiang family. My position, status and money is way too low as compared to all the rich heirs out there. I cannot compete with their assets, and I don't want you to live a hard life with me. You deserve the best of everything, and I am not the one who can give you that. But…tonight was the worst possible night for me to know that you will be engaged to someone else. And he is not even a good man!"
Jiang Ruiling burst into a chuckle. She leaned and softly kissed his lips.
"You are truly an idiot."
He pursed his lips.
"Do you think I care about status and all that stuff? Do you think I am that shallow?"
