Su Xiaowan was thinking, even her cousins, who were obsessed with their sisters, would never agree, let alone having anything to do with a lunatic like Dong Yujiao.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she rejected Han Dongchen's idea: "I don't think it would work. My elder cousin is adored by her family. Although Director Zhou is a good guy, my uncles would surely disagree."
This subtle refusal was, well, direct enough. No matter how good Director Zhou was, he was a divorcee. It would be surprising if her uncles agreed.
Even though Han Dongchen was not very expressive, he was not a fool. He understood her obvious rejection.
However, he was finding it increasingly difficult to understand Su Xiaowan. She was just a young girl, usually happy to help others at her age.
Like him, she could gain recognition by helping others. Back then, he was so passionate that he felt embarrassed to refuse someone's request, and would even try harder to help.
