"I won't let go," Xie Jinbai said, pinning her struggling leg. His arms tightened around her as he smiled and asked, "Why don't you tell me? Are you this sarcastic and impatient with him, too?"
"Or are you only like this with me?"
"You dared to hold his hand, fingers intertwined, right in front of me. What else have you done behind my back?"
"You went to his courtyard and spent four hours alone with him. You let him into your room. On those occasions, did you let him hold you like this?"
"Or was it even more intimate?"
"And now, you're going to let him escort your mother to her burial, all while playing the part of your fiancé."
The journey there and back, plus the time for the funeral, would take a few months at least.
For months, they would see each other constantly, spending every day together.
'He'd have to be insane to let her go!'
"Hm? Say something!"
