"Hahaha! Xia Liu, don't feel pressured, I was just speaking off the cuff."
Seeing Xia Liu remain silent, Li Zhong quickly laughed to defuse the awkward atmosphere.
"Uncle Zhong, you're right, but I'm currently busy with the Eastern District and the industrial area, so I probably won't have time for a wedding."
"I know all about your situation. If you do have a wedding, it would surely cause quite a stir, so try to keep it low-key."
As it stood in Hejing, many people knew about Xia Liu's affairs.
Although there were some idle talks, it didn't matter—if Xia Liu could develop the Eastern District and the industrial area.
Any rumors would eventually turn into admiration, even wanting to marry their daughters to this capable and promising young man.
"Mmhmm, I'll take Uncle Zhong's advice." Faced with such a reminder, Xia Liu had to nod in agreement.
Some things are better known just between ourselves; speaking them out loud makes it awkward.
