"I've always seen you as a brother."
Fu Caier knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face as her mind raced to find a way to break the impasse.
In the past,
she never thought anyone could push her to this extent.
Thus, she had no way to deal with it.
But—
fortunately, Li Tao urgently called her to the market today, where she experienced a public proposal.
She used Junior Master Zhang to fend it off.
From that moment, she began to consider how to handle such situations if they arose again.
Yes.
She held Li Tao in contempt; apart from using him, she would never get romantically involved with him.
Romance was not something to be discussed publicly.
If she rejected him later, others would only think he couldn't succeed in his pursuit.
No one would say anything.
But Fang Yuming elevated the matter to the heights of "sowing discord between brothers," "deceiving emotions," and "hoarding resources"—
If he proved it publicly, she would be disgraced!
