Yi Weiyang furrowed his brow slightly. "I promise, every word I say is from the heart. Huo Li, you're a good girl, but you're still too young. There are many things you don't understand. The moment you open your mouth, you talk about how much you love me, but to me, it feels like you've lacked fatherly love since childhood, and all these years, I've cared for you like my own child. That's made you develop a sense of dependency and misperception. This isn't love; it's familial affection. When you meet the person you truly like, you'll understand."
"I'm not a child, I understand everything." Huo Li got out of bed barefoot and stood in front of Yi Weiyang, raising her voice. "Love and familial affection—I can tell the difference! I truly love you! I want to live with you! I want to take care of you for a lifetime!"
