I didn't intend to pressure Shen Li, but his goodness made my heart move, made my feelings hard to restrain.
Afraid he'd feel stressed, I quickly added, "Just secretly is fine. As long as you, Uncle, can admit it, I'll be happy."
When Shen Xingchen said "secretly," Shen Li released her foot and looked up at her.
His expression turned serious, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
Meeting Shen Li's gaze, Shen Xingchen pressed her hands into the bed, feeling a little flustered.
Was she being too impatient?
At that moment, she wanted to explain herself to Shen Li, but didn't know where to begin.
In the end, just as she was about to say it was all a joke, Shen Li spoke first.
He said, "Xingchen, you don't need to wrong yourself for the sake of anyone. No matter who you're with, it should be open and honest."
