"I'm sorry...."
Sun Ruofan bit her lip, speaking somewhat cautiously, "I didn't know Uncle Qin would do that. At that time, my dad had asked him to consider driving you home, but he took it upon himself to say things he shouldn't have said.... My dad has fired him, and if anything he said made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize.... Also, about your family situation, my dad said he could offer job opportunities to your uncle and aunt...."
Pei Jinye looked up at her calmly and said, "I appreciate the thought, but there's no need to worry about my family. I indeed come from a very ordinary family, but I've never felt inferior about my status, so there's no need for you to tiptoe around me as if you might hurt my feelings. Also, if I had saved you for a reward... honestly, it would have been easier to just kidnap you."
Sun Ruofan was taken aback, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I thought too much."
