Meeting her aunt's eager gaze, Zhi Wan paused for a moment before answering honestly, "Heir Fu has an excellent family background and is remarkably handsome, but… he is far out of my league."
Lady Wei couldn't stand to hear her speak so self-deprecatingly, and her brow furrowed.
In her eyes, Wan'er was in no way inferior to the daughters of other prominent families.
"Don't be foolish! There are only men who are not worthy of you, never the other way around!" Lady Wei declared, speaking from the heart.
Zhi Wan was amused by her aunt's words. Covering her lips with a handkerchief, she chuckled softly. "Thank you for thinking so highly of me, Aunt. But as for the Fu family… let's just forget about it."
'Setting aside their incompatible family backgrounds, I simply don't like men like Fu Hongyi.'
'Besides, perhaps I'm just being too sensitive. But when I went to see Madam Fu the other day, she didn't say much, yet I could feel a hint of disdain in her gaze.'
