Ou Ming heart became unsettled when he heard those words. He sidled close to her and nudged her. He lowered his voice and said, "Turn around. What do you mean by that? Do you not want to marry me anymore?"
Yu Lili refuse to turn around. With her back still toward him, she replied, "Marriage does not just concern you alone."
When Ou Ming heard that, he could roughly guess what Yu Lili was trying to get at. He sat up. In a solemn tone, he said, "I'll settle my mother. You just have to prepare to be with me."
"That's not all, Ou Ming," Yu Lili said.
She was bundled up inside the quilt. She stared ahead at the darkness in front of her. She knew that Ou Ming had his guard up. If she didn't tread carefully, she'd end up making him angry. Ou Ming was an extremely impatient man.
But, there were just some words that she had to say. Especially after hearing Uncle Wen's story, the desire to say the words aloud had intensified.
