You have one night to think it over. Don't be in a rush to refuse me. Give it some serious thought before you make your decision."
Qin Mei raised a hand to press her temples. 'Does my brother really have to provoke Jie Jingchen?'
"Childish," Jie Jingchen spat out the single word with contempt.
He knelt in front of Qin Mei, took her foot in his hand, and helped her put her shoe back on.
