Cui Lingyao glanced at the unfamiliar surroundings and said, "Back to the Capital City."
After spending just half a day with them, she found the Pei Family's ways petty and their manner overly fawning, completely lacking the dignity of a great clan. She had no desire to prolong her stay. For Chen Minrou's sake alone, she had to return to the Capital City quickly.
Shen Tingyu was not surprised by her answer.
He slowly lifted his gaze, his eyes fixed on her as he said, "Once we are back in the Capital City and our engagement is canceled, I will personally see you married a year from now."
If they could be husband and wife, he would protect her for life. If not, he would gracefully step back into the role of a brother.
At the very least, as long as she was safe and sound, they would still have a connection in this life.
This was the first time he had said he would see her off to her wedding as a brother.
