The man was stunned, a surge of joy inevitably rising in his heart.
Did it mean that as long as he was good to her, she would consider his feelings too?
"Xinlan, stay with me. I'll take good care of you and treat you well," he said.
She stood up, gesturing with her hand to cut him off, "Qiao Yiyang, my mind is a mess right now. Don't pressure me; I need some time to cool off. Moreover, I won't fall in love with anyone. Don't waste your efforts on me."
Her heart was cold and hard. If it weren't for Rong Shaoze risking his life for her time and again, she wouldn't have been moved.
Even now that she understood her own feelings and acknowledged her liking for Rong Shaoze, it didn't mean she would be with him.
She had her convictions and her own way of thinking; in her view, loving someone didn't necessarily mean having to stay with them.
