"Why not?" he asked rhetorically. "Since I need to marry a woman in this life, does it make any difference whether I do it later or earlier? Hao Meiyu was quiet and obedient enough. A marriage with the Hao family could help the Yi family's development in shipping, so why not?"
He was talking business, and Ling Yiran felt a faint pang of fear as she heard this.
It was like he did not know love at all… Even marriage could be a business to him.
What would really matter to a person like him?
"However, now I think it’ll be nice if I married a woman who is interesting to me." His eyes were fixed on her as he smiled.
She turned away awkwardly. He spoke as if he was referring to something else.
She told herself not to think too much about it. He and she were people of two worlds. They would never be in the same boat. Soon, after giving him the gloves, surely he and she would never see each other again.
"Well... I'll get you your gloves." She hurried around him to get the gloves.
"No hurry." He took her arm, slowly bent down, and looked at her. "Sis, you haven't answered my question from earlier. Are you trying to reverse the verdict?"
Of course, she was! If she did not reverse the verdict, it meant that she would have to bear this crime and could not hold her head high for the rest of her life.
"What about it?" she asked rhetorically.
