The man chuckled lightly, "Remember, this is exactly how I spoke at the Auspicious Inn earlier today, but Wei'er was indifferent to my words."
Cai Wei was taken aback. Circumstances had changed. Back then, she was a free woman who could express her thoughts however she wished, unlike now where it felt like she had been pinned down, as helpless as fish meat on a chopping block, completely at someone else's mercy.
"However——"
The man quickly changed the topic: "I would also like to have a serious talk with Wei'er.
Cai Wei said, "Alright, then I will speak first."
"Fine, you go first."
Raising his hand to lightly touch her little face, the man's tone was doting and rapt.
Looking away to avoid his gaze, her voice, though soft, was assertive and clear, "If you wish to marry me, you should know what I require of a future husband. If you can meet my requirements, I would consent to be betrothed to you. But if you can't, please respect yourself and stop bothering me."
