The fact that she was now willing to yield was an unexpected delight.
"I'll give you time. You can think it over slowly, but there's just one thing…"
Xie Jinbai's eyes narrowed slightly. He stared intently at the vibrant young woman before him and said in a low voice, "You are not to get too close to Shen Tingyu. Make it clear to him that your verbal agreement to marry is off."
'He didn't want to think about whether her engagement to Shen Tingyu was from before her rebirth or after.'
'As long as she was willing to come back to him, he would pretend that the one who had pledged herself to Shen Tingyu was the original Pei Shuyao.'
'He would pretend she had never truly liked Shen Tingyu.'
Cui Lingyao froze.
'A verbal engagement…'
Before today, she had thought Xie Jinbai only suspected her identity, and her mind had been consumed with finding a way to dispel his suspicions.
To that end, she had genuinely considered marrying Shen Tingyu.
