"Your sister agreed to get engaged at just eighteen; the risks she bears are greater than ours. She has the courage to get engaged, so why don't I have the courage to try it with you?"
This reasoning from Jin Yu left Ye Yan momentarily speechless.
So it turns out his sister's engagement at eighteen gave Jin Yu the courage to give it a try with him. Is it really because of him or because his sister's boldness inspired her?
"Regardless of the reason, does this mean we've gotten back together and you're my girlfriend again?"
Ye Yan felt that happiness came a bit too quickly. He couldn't quite believe it, feeling as if he were dreaming.
He had actually prepared for her rejection. He figured if she refused, he'd just drag her to his sister's engagement party, where everyone in the Imperial Capital would know that Jin Yu was his woman. Then, let's see which man would dare to get close to her. Ultimately, she would have to end up with him.
