"She's always very sentimental towards the Yun family. They always manage to hurt her inadvertently because she cares too much about them. But towards anyone else, she automatically blocks herself emotionally away from them. It's her form of self-protection. I can't say she's wrong to do so; it's just… She got things backward. Her relatives are the ones she should protect herself from," Shi Nian frustratedly stated.
Fang Xi was truly shocked at Shi Nian's words; she didn't expect Shi Nian to understand Yun Nan so thoroughly.
"But it doesn't matter. I'll accompany, protect, and get her to gradually accept me," Shi Nian said optimistically.
"Can I trust you?" Fang Xi asked solemnly after a long while. "Shi Nian, have you truly fallen in love with Yun Nan? You won't leave her when your marriage contract ends in five years?"
Shi Nian confidently chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll be with her for much longer than five years."
