"Ah Qi, you don't understand. I know you don't see me as an outsider, but we are, after all, in a romantic relationship. To many people, it seems like I'm reaching too high to be with you, that I'm taking advantage of you..." As Ye Zixu saw him about to speak, she covered his mouth: "I know you don't think that way, but Ah Qi, I feel uncomfortable. I don't want you to marry me and then have to fill an endless pit for me. I have my self-respect, you understand?"
Shen Qi opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
He understood her meaning, and because he understood, it hurt. It seemed he only knew how to help her but hadn't considered her feelings.
"I know you understand. It's good you do, Ah Qi. I don't know how much Ye Zifeng owes again, but this time I've made up my mind. Whether we help or not, I'll send him to the gambling rehabilitation center to kick this addiction..." She lowered her head after speaking, "Although it's cruel, it's the last option."
