"So, according to you, I should be flattered?"
Cui Lingyao scoffed. "I hate being manipulated, and I hate how you keep backing me into a corner. You pretend you've learned to show weakness, to bend, to let me throw my tantrums, but in reality, you're still the one in control, playing your games with ease. You haven't given me a single moment to breathe."
Her words were incredibly harsh.
Xie Jinbai's brow furrowed tightly. "If I were truly backing you into a corner, I would never have allowed your engagement to continue."
'The engagement again.'
A look of disgust crossed Cui Lingyao's face. "In that case, why don't you just behave yourself and stop bothering me? Let me think things over calmly."
After she spoke, the room fell instantly silent.
Xie Jinbai stood motionless, not saying a word.
'Think about what?'
He wanted to ask her what exactly she needed to think about.
