"Third Brother, don't!" she resisted.
The more she resisted, the more urgent he became.
She simply lay on the bed and stopped struggling, only to say coolly, "Do you really distrust me that much?"
The disappointment in her indifferent tone was like a basin of cold water poured over his head.
"No, dear..." he hurriedly explained, "I know the feelings you have for me, I know you won't let me down, but I'm so afraid someone else will take you away..." Li Gui will take you, Jin Xun will take you, that powerful Estate Owner will take you; even Fourth Brother, who had given up, will take you. He was indeed too worried, too afraid of losing her!
Her tone remained evenly undisturbed, "I have said, if you do not betray me, I will not betray you."
"But you've never clearly said you like me; you've only promised not to betray me."
