Mrs. Xiao's words made sense, but this wasn't what Xiao Rou wanted.
Marriage is a choice, but love is a feeling of excitement.
She didn't want a marriage without love.
This was the thought that flashed through Xiao Rou's mind at that moment.
At one time, she hadn't thought this way.
Since childhood, the concept Xiao Rou was exposed to was to live a peaceful, secure life.
Things that were risky or thrilling were not to be done.
Much like now, Li Chen was that person to her—no risk, no thrill.
He was fond of her, and spending time together might develop certain feelings. Moreover, the Li Family's conditions were slightly better than the Xiao Family's, but the gap wasn't insurmountable—they were well-matched socially.
Furthermore, both families knew each other's background, knowing there were no inexplicable troublemakers in the family, nor were there any bad things that needed to be hidden.
