Upon hearing that, Jiang Yuzhu forced a dry chuckle, "What nonsense are you speaking?"
Pei Jingchuan heard Jiang Yuzhu's words, but did not respond. Instead, he continued speaking, "I know, because of your family situation growing up, you developed a fear of relying on others. But Yuzhu, I'm not like others. I can provide you with support for a lifetime. You may not believe what I'm saying right now because people can change."
"But, I won't change."
Jiang Yuzhu remained silent for several minutes, not uttering a word. She couldn't find the words to describe her emotions at the moment, just that they were very complicated and heavy.
Pei Jingchuan did not rush her, waiting patiently for Jiang Yuzhu to respond.
After a long while, just as Pei Jingchuan thought Jiang Yuzhu would not respond, she suddenly started talking, "Jingchuan, I'm not looking for someone to depend on."
