Qin Jinchuan observed the change in her eyes, his gaze growing more serious. "So, stop pining for him. It's impossible between you two."
"If there's even the slightest change to the wedding now, the Xiao Family will undoubtedly hunt you down. Then, you won't be as lucky as you were in Upper City."
That simple sentence made Ye Yuning fully realize what truly stood between her and Xiao Linye. The so-called insurmountable gulf was nothing more than this.
"I'm not pining for him. I just want you to mind your own business. Why are you reacting so strongly?"
"You're terrified Xiao Linye will find out we're together, aren't you?"
Qin Jinchuan mercilessly exposed her thoughts. His cold eyes were sharp and relentlessly probing.
Ye Yuning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "No, Qin Jinchuan, don't you understand? There's absolutely no relationship between us and him."
"What do you mean?" No relationship with Xiao Linye? Then what were all her repeated warnings about?
