Xue Xingyao reacted so strongly, insisting that she and Shen Mingji were an absolute impossibility, that Mrs. Xue didn't mention him again.
"With Chen Shujing pestering you like this, something has to be done. Next time someone comes to propose, will you at least consider it?"
When they were in Jiangnan, many people had come to the house with marriage proposals.
Now that they were back in the Capital City, it was impossible that there would be none.
Back in Jiangnan, Xue Xingyao had been solely focused on tutoring the Xu family's daughter and hadn't spared a thought for marriage.
Now that her mother was bringing it up again, she still couldn't muster any interest.
She replied perfunctorily, "We'll see if fate has anything in store. You don't have to worry about it."
How could Mrs. Xue not worry?
