Fu Bing calmly met Feng Yu's gaze. "I believe every word you say. If your goal is to be friends, I have no objections and am very pleased to have such a friend. If your expectations for our relationship involve being boyfriend and girlfriend, or husband and wife, I'm sorry, but I can't do that, nor do I intend to."
"You're really straightforward in your rejection," Feng Yu said, not displeased by her blunt refusal.
"It's better than giving you false hope and wasting your time," Fu Bing replied.
"I now understand why Qin Jinhai loved you so much. You've been through so much and yet remain bright and dazzling. Before the incident, you must have been even more captivating."
"Being liked by men is never a criterion to judge a woman," Fu Bing said. "I'd rather say that Qin Jinhai and I chose each other. We chose each other when we were at our best."
Feng Yu looked at her intently. "Even though he's gone, nobody can replace his place in your heart, can they?"
