Ye Long did care about Mei's thoughts after all, since his approach to her had a purpose!
Mei looked at Ye Long and smiled, then pinched him on the waist and said, "You slick, why should I be distant with you, huh? You're not here to harm me or use me, but to protect me. I should be thanking you, waived the protection fee and all, I'm even happier about that!"
Hearing Mei say this, Ye Long felt relieved. It seemed that Mei didn't blame him!
Then, Ye Long's face broke into a roguishly charming smile again and said, "Hey, Mei, how could I bear to harm or use you? I don't have enough time to love you; I'm going to protect you for a lifetime!"
Mei rolled her eyes at Ye Long and said, "Slick, then be a good little brother and protect me from now on!"
"Hey, I'm not your little brother, I want to be your husband!" Ye Long said in his roguish tone.
