Jin Zijin stopped and looked at Yue Rujing, saying, "Have you decided not to speak, or can't you finish what you're saying?"
"Ah...?"
"If you have a lot to say, how about I go with you to your place first and listen to you finish before I meet your father?"
"I..." Yue Rujing choked, "I just wanted to say that she can't be trusted."
"You always say that, my ears could almost grow calluses," Jin Zijin said.
"Isn't it because you won't take advice?" Yue Rujing stuttered.
Jin Zijin said, "The one who won't take advice is you."
"Me?"
"I remember I've told you many times as well, it doesn't matter who she used to belong to. What's important is now, and now we need to win her over to our side," he stated.
Yue Rujing scoffed and without thinking retorted, "Dream on, it has nothing to do with me; you're just infatuated and want to make her yours."
"..." The garden was engulfed in an unrivaled silence, so quiet one could hear a pin drop.
