"Pfft!" Su Qingyue laughed upon hearing this, "You say 'so long', but how long is that exactly?"
"…" He did the math, it had been only a few months since old lady Liu offered seventeen taels for Su Qingyue. He had felt something for her starting that day… so it seemed it hadn't been very long after all.
"Enough," she said indifferently, "In light of your 'sincere' affection, let me offer you a piece of advice, stop deceiving yourself. It doesn't matter whether my third brother is better than you, the fact is that I don't have those feelings for you."
"Which kind?"
"The kind where I like you."
His facial expression darkened, "You like Xiao Yuchuan?"
"Yes. Otherwise why would I marry him?"
She stated with certainty that she liked another man, and Li Gui felt bitterly stifled inside, "Are you truly so heartless towards me?"
"Heartlessness implies that there was once affection, to begin with. There's no opportunity for heartlessness between us."
