"That's still better than two people suffering for a lifetime!" Xia Yuxun bit her lip, suppressing the turmoil in her heart as she spoke indifferently, "And I had no idea about today's incident. When he proposed to me earlier, I refused as well. How is what he's doing now any different from coercing me into marriage?"
Xia Molin sighed, "If that's how it is... Alright then, I'll go talk to his parents. You should have a good talk with Leng Sichen."
"Mmm..." Xia Yuxun nodded vigorously, "Dad, I'm so scared and so tired. Right now, I just want to be with you and live a peaceful life."
For some reason, she had felt particularly anxious these past few days, always restless.
Xia Yuxun continued, "Dad, I can't tell you how happy I am that you're back! With you here, I'm not afraid of anything! Do you know? When I'm sad and return to an empty house, I just think, if you were back, I wouldn't want or need anything else.
