Upon hearing the name Bai Jinyan, Yang Boyan's face immediately changed. Seeing Pei Qin speak bluntly as he rose to his feet, "You... looked into my background?"
"What if we hadn't? What were you planning to do?" Pei Qin's face lost its smile.
Yang Boyan's expression underwent several changes, "Bai Jinyan is my cousin, and both my aunt and my family want me to marry her, but I have never agreed."
"So she waited for you for five years, becoming an old maid. And yet you still plan to reject the marriage to come and marry Pei Qian?" Pei Qin asked.
Yang Boyan didn't speak.
"Or are you unable to defy them and thinking of taking Pei Qian as a concubine, in order to show your resistance?" Pei Qin pressed on.
Yang Boyan's face shifted subtly, "...No, that's not it!"
"So you plan to marry Pei Qian outside and then have us find a way to help you stand up against your family?" Pei Qin continued to probe.
