“As long as I can marry the person I love, I’m willing to endure hardship,” Xu Yi said, turning away. “I don’t want to. She said she would marry me. I’ll wait for her.”
“Marry me. We’ll live well together, just the two of us.”
“No, I’m waiting for her to marry me. I won’t marry anyone else.”
Xu Yi’s words were unchanged, refusing her once again, causing Jin Mo pain like a thorn in her heart. He always rejected her, his eyes focused solely on one person, leaving no room for her. Why was it like this?
“What if she doesn’t marry you this time?” Jin Mo asked. Could she truly not win the heart of her loved one? Even after giving her whole heart, could she not move him even a little?
Xu Yi gripped the bedding nervously, “She said she would marry me. Even if she doesn’t, she still visits me sometimes. I’m satisfied. I’ll keep waiting for her.”
Jin Mo’s heart ached, not just for her own repeated rejections, but for Xu Yi’s devoted love. His obsessive love for the eldest lady had caused him immense suffering. She had always silently wished he would love someone who would cherish him, yet his heart belonged only to the eldest lady, who had space for another man, never caring for him.
“If my sister is no longer the head of the Jin family, would you still marry her?” Jin Mo asked. The eldest lady had once abandoned him for the position of family head and Cloud Mei. Would she now sacrifice the family head position for him? Why was she going against their previous agreement?
Seeing Xu Yi not respond, Jin Mo asked, “If I become the head of the Jin family, would you marry me?” She would take back the family head position, even if it meant losing her freedom.
Xu Yi’s heart trembled, turning away. “She is the master of the Jin family and has already sent a betrothal gift, saying she would marry me before the year ends. I will only marry her.” No one else occupied his heart; every day was filled with thoughts of her, longing to be by her side.
“Is that so?” Jin Mo muttered, “You really don’t want to come with me?”
