"Mengjie!" It was the first time Si Hongqi raised his voice at her. "Don't put yourself in danger for a man like him. I know that you find him attractive. I know that you wanted him to be part of our family and that's fine. You can recruit him but having a relationship is another thing! You don't even love him!"
"So what if I don't love him right now? It doesn't mean that my feelings will remain the same in the future," she argued back. "I can always learn to love him. And just so you know, Yong Liwei is not hard to love!"
Who wouldn't fall for a man who knew how to treat a woman with respect? She knew that it would only be a matter of time before they would finally be able to accept each other.
"Do you even know what love is?" He frowned deeply. Frustration was seen in his eyes.
"I do!" She exclaimed. "I have loved you for so many years but you keep on pushing me away!"
"What you have for me is not love," he retorted.
It was not love... ?
