Shui Lingling's statement was indeed completely without fault.
She had neither directly refused nor agreed but had instead hit the nail on the head—all marriages within their prominent clans were arranged by the families, so how many could actually decide for themselves?
Jin Yuhu burst into laughter and said, "Lingling's words do make sense. I'll have my family propose marriage when I return. I think the Shui Family won't refuse."
Shui Lingling smiled slightly and said, "The intentions of our elders are not something we can comprehend, Jin, there are so many guests today. If there's any lack in my hosting, please forgive me, Jin."
Jin Yuhu narrowed his eyes and said, "I certainly won't mind that. Come, we can talk about marriage later. For now, let me take off your necklace."
Shui Lingling hadn't expected Jin Yuhu to persist with this matter. That necklace was a birthday gift from Su Weifeng, and she was unwilling to part with it.
