Ran Yan sat quietly in the corridor, furrowing her brows in thought for a long time before she slowly lifted her head and said to Ran Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, I cannot marry him."
Whether Sang Chen admitted to being a descendant of the Boling Cui family or not, outsiders believed it to be true; thus, the gold-lettered signboard above his head still shone brightly.
It wasn't that Ran Yan was unappreciative, but she was responsible for her own life and the lives of others. Sang Chen was a good person and although he often enraged her, she hadn't the heart to hurt him. Ran Yan hadn't truly loved anyone in her past or present life, though she had secretly admired many. She knew very well the type of man she liked; being with Sang Chen out of obligation would only cause harm to both of them.
"Ah Yan..." Ran Yunsheng called her name but looked towards Madam Xing, meaning for her to quickly persuade Ran Yan.
