Sheng Shaochen touched his forehead to hers and said, "Three to five years is too long. If you don't achieve success and fame soon, and I can't wait, won't the dignified President Sheng have to marry down to you?"
"But doing this will have too big an impact on you!"
"There's no buts, only willing or unwilling."
When Sheng Shaochen spoke of "willing or unwilling," he was referring to the vow made that night in front of Yue Lao, a promise of never leaving each other in life or death, rich or poor. This brought a lump to Ye Shu's throat, her emotions overwhelming her.
As it turns out, he wanted to be with her better, to shield her from unwanted looks from others or even the Sheng Mansion, so he was eager to lift her to an equal standing so that no one would dare to speak ill of her.
"Thank you, hubby, I'm willing..." Ye Shu bowed her head and kissed his lips, closing her eyes to hide the tears of happiness.
