Li Yu furrowed his brow and turned his attention to his assistant. "I know what you want to say. It's about Ling'er and Li Yan, isn't it?"
The assistant smiled awkwardly and replied, "Mr. Li, Miss Jiang hasn't officially broken off her engagement with Li Yan yet. Your father won't be too pleased if you get too close to her. You know this. Your current behavior could damage Miss Jiang's reputation."
Li Yu's expression grew serious upon hearing this. After a moment of contemplation, he stated, "I'm almost like her uncle. What's wrong with wanting to see her?"
The assistant continued, "The way an elder looks at a junior is vastly different from the way a man looks at a woman he's interested in."
Li Yu couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable and rubbed his temples. He had to admit that what his assistant was saying made sense.
The assistant added, "Unless Miss Jiang and Li Yan sever their engagement, people will undoubtedly start gossiping."
