Seeing that Pei Qingqing's father did not react, Pei Qingqing quickly linked her arm with his.
She wanted to say something else but heard her father squint and glance at her, suddenly speaking, "Didn't you used to have feelings for your brother? You liked him for so many years. Why are you giving up now? You're even supporting his relationship with Wen Mian?"
Pei Qingqing hesitated.
It wasn't support—it was about putting an end to her youth.
Only if she cut it off herself could this relationship have no chance to rekindle.
She admitted that she still felt unwilling.
But upon careful thought, what remained was only her unwillingness. As for liking and admiration, perhaps… they had long ceased to exist.
Instead of continuing her relentless pursuit, forcing Pei Zhiyao to be with her, it was better to calm down and think carefully about what she should really do.
Rather than being together, what Pei Qingqing wanted even more was for Pei Zhiyao to always stay by her side.
