Faced with the current situation, Zhao Chunxiao feared that if she blindly followed Qi Chongming's intentions without questioning anything, the marriage arrangement between the Zhao and Qi families would soon dissolve.
Although she couldn't grasp what exactly had transpired to cause Qi Chongming's sudden change of heart, Zhao Chunxiao was unwilling to suffer any loss.
"Uncle Qi, your words have left me utterly baffled."
With a smile that didn't reach her eyes, Zhao Chunxiao said, "Didn't you suggest that Qi Chao and I should take time to cultivate feelings for each other? Now that there's another woman by his side, you claim you can't control him. What kind of reasoning is this?"
Qi Chongming had anticipated such a confrontation and was well-prepared with his response.
"Chunxiao," he sighed deeply, his expression heavy with emotion. "Your father advised me long ago that when it comes to the matters of our children, it's best for parents not to interfere."
