Da Youning fell in love for the first time and had to face such a blow. He sat a bit lost and bewildered on the bench.
Xiao Yao returned to her room, feeling somewhat conflicted. To be honest, she really didn't want to lose Da Youning as a friend, not only because of his financial talent but also because he was truly worthy of friendship. He was straightforward, cheerful, and deeply loyal to his friends.
Yet if, because of his feelings for her, she had to reject Da Youning and he couldn't let go, she would still choose to cut off their friendship. She didn't want any accident or factor to affect her relationship with her senior brother. So she would nip in the bud any potential threat to their relationship; failing to do so could only lead to trouble.
Therefore, the kind of relationship she would have with Da Youning was something she had already dictated for him. She could only wait for Da Youning to make his choice.
