Shen Qingcong patiently explained to him, "Achi, the current domestic situation isn't safe, isn't that why you agreed to have me leave previously?"
Xiao Chifeng furrowed his brows, speaking in a grave tone, "What was true then is not true now, we've already taken action, and soon the power held by Jiang Qiming's faction will be uprooted by us."
Yet, Shen Qingcong stuck to her guns, unwilling to compromise, "Regardless, Achi, now isn't the best time for me to go back. Please forgive me, and allow me to keep this bit of pride and self-respect that I have left. I don't want to be a parasitic plant merely surviving by relying on you, I want to be a shrub, flying and weathering storms with you side by side in the sky. One day, I will have everyone in the Xiao family begging you to marry me!!!"
One day, I will have everyone in the Xiao family begging you to marry me!!!
Hearing her resounding proclamation, Xiao Chifeng couldn't help but be shaken once again.
