Everything is a misunderstanding. Mr. Li didn't mean it at all; otherwise, he would have acted on it long ago.
"Ah! So foolish, jumping to conclusions without clarifying the truth. Now, see what happened? You've caused Mr. Lin to be unjustly blamed."
Li Xiangmei was utterly ashamed, unable to face Lin Yifan.
Xiao Qing hadn't expected the truth to be like this, but wrong is wrong. Whether intentional or not, tarnishing a girl's reputation requires taking responsibility.
So she asked, "Mr. Lin, are you explaining so clearly because you don't want to take responsibility?"
"Not at all! I explained just to clear up any misconceptions about my character, that's all. If Miss Li sees this as a hurdle she can't get over, I'm willing to take this responsibility," Lin Yifan answered.
"So, you're saying, you will marry Sister Xiangmei?" Xiao Qing pursued.
"You could say that," Lin Yifan sighed in reply.
