"Indeed, such a love affair is intolerable in the conventional world, particularly for individuals of your social standing who carry significant family responsibilities, the psychological stress must be enormous. However, love doesn't distinguish gender, you should not abandon the one you love because of fear of public opinion. Hence, please, don't give up, bravely pursue your love!"
Ye Lu passionately spoke, her eyes gleaming brightly, full of encouragement.
Yang Xiu was left dumbfounded, stumbling almost to the point of falling.
Shang Jingchen's face turned black as a pot bottom, gritting his teeth:
"Ye Lu, I dare you to say it again!"
