Feng Suyin didn't know how to respond to her mother-in-law's request. She didn't want to give anyone or herself false hope or lead Ji Yuzhe to something she might regret later. A part of her still thinks she doesn't deserve Ji Yuzhe's affection, yet her selfish side doesn't want to let go of the possibility of happiness with him. She could only smile at Bai Qianlu and followed the children back inside the estate. She thought that if she wanted to be with Ji Yuzhe for good, she should have dealt with all the problems and resentment she had with the Feng family.
Her mind ran with conflicted thoughts as her steps echoed softly in the courtyard as she followed the children. It would be unfair for Ji Yuzhe if she accepted his feelings when she wasn't fully ready to enter a relationship. Feng Suyin also didn't want to trouble him too much with her issues with her family. Bai Qianlu's words lingered heavily on her shoulders, a reminder of the choice that lay before her.
