"...No, I can't."
Song Song closed her eyes; she couldn't look, otherwise she might soften and agree.
"Taozi, think about Auntie and Uncle. If you elope with someone like this, they'll definitely be heartbroken..."
"Baozi!"
Shang Tao was a bit angry and reached out to pry open Song Song's round, grape-like eyes to make her look at her. "Of course, I don't want to make them sad, but I also don't want to live with regret forever. They definitely won't agree to me being with Nannan. I just want them to know my determination by running away. Understand?"
"Actually... it's just to scare them."
Song Song shook her head, indicating she didn't understand. "I only know that once you leave, Auntie and Uncle will surely be worried sick."
"Silly Baozi! I'm not you; I don't think about others in everything. After all, it's my life, and even my parents who gave birth to me can't interfere. Haven't you heard the saying? 'Heaven condemns those who fail to care for themselves!'"
