Was He Zhaolian following him because she had nowhere else to go in the U.S., or did she want to continuously follow him?
As for this, he didn't want to know!
All he knew was he didn't need her to follow him. It's not that she was ugly, and he certainly didn't loathe her. It's just...having many women around was rather troublesome, as demonstrated by Fang Shurong.
A headache! So vexing!
Moreover, He Zhaolian's emotions towards him were complicated. There might be a bit of gratitude and worship, but certainly no love. Hatred, perhaps not now, but there certainly had been in the past. As for the future, who knows.
If she stayed by his side, who could tell if she might stab him out of the blue one day? And he didn't harbor any feelings for her at all, why should he carry such a burden?
After about ten minutes' walk, they arrived in the town center.
