Lin Man impatiently said, "Nobody is bullying me. I'm at work! You should go back home now!"
With no news from Si Chen, Lin Man was giving up. Coupled with Shi Yan's unrelenting pursuit, she was gradually being swayed, willing to give him a chance.
Honestly, aside from being less capable and not as attractive as Si Chen, Shi Yan wasn't that bad.
He was from a better background, being a local Kyotoite. From another woman's perspective, he would be considered quite a catch.
But after meeting Si Chen, any sight of Shi Yan was unpleasant, even repugnant. She didn't want to look at him one bit more.
She regretted the thought of potentially compromising by being with Shi Yan; how could she possibly let herself settle for such a man?
In future family gatherings, comparisons would inevitably be made between her and Tong Yao. She wouldn't settle for a man lesser than Tong Yao's.
