Song Lianhe was stunned for a moment, but quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to my mother's family. I'll tell them I fell for someone else and that it has nothing to do with you. They won't make things difficult for you! But we need to agree on this upfront. If you ever manage to ascend… Anyway, you have to remember this favor I'm doing you. Don't try to sabotage me later, or I'll look down on you!"
Seeing that she was about to head toward Chongzheng Hall, Zhou Junlin grabbed her wrist and demanded, "You've always wanted to marry me, but now you're calling it off just like that! Song Lianhe, what do you take me for?"
"And you didn't want to marry me before, but now you're against calling it off. Zhou Junlin, what do you take *me* for?"
Song Lianhe forcefully shook off his hand. "Don't tell me you've suddenly discovered my good qualities and want to marry me now. Heh… As if I'd believe that!"
"Stop daydreaming. My heart belongs only to Xilan!"
