Although Shen Songming often visited Taiping Town, everyone knew about the ambiguous relationship between him and Pei Qin. Pei Qin had rejected all marriage proposals, leading everyone to believe she was waiting to follow Shen Songming.

If things with Shen Songming fell through, Pei Qin could simply turn around and marry Fang Liuming, adding kinship upon kinship, without giving others a bargain, and Pei Qin wouldn't have to suffer any grievances in another's household.
Given that the subject of marriage had come up in front of so many people, Fang Liuming felt somewhat embarrassed and his gaze unconsciously drifted toward the petite figure beside Pei Qin.
