"I'm naturally on the same page as you, but..." Hua Xiaomai's stepmother's lips faltered, and all of a sudden her gaze flashed, locking onto Hua Xiaomai with a voice tinged with doubt and surprise, "What are you planning to do?... Although I have a rather strong character, I shouldn't always have to play the villain, should I?"
Yes, yes, yes, you only ever show that fierce face to your own sister, and when it comes to the crunch, you shrink back!
Hua Xiaomai twisted her arm in annoyance and pouted, "Who made you the villain? I just wanted to be sure of what you're thinking. You surely aren't still fixated on... wanting me to marry Aunt Geng's nephew, are you?"
Hua Xiaomai's stepmother frowned, "Haven't I told you? If you're unwilling, I certainly won't force you. You're my own sister, of course I want the best for you. Reluctance never leads to anything good."
