Su Qin said a lot all at once.
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt.
By the end, she was already crying.
The meal was ruined.
Zhao Chi put down his chopsticks and said gently, "I know how you feel. I can see it, and I can certainly feel it. It's just... I'm too weak right now. I have no plans to start a family, and no desire to..."
"Bullshit!" Su Qin swore. "By that logic, Ordinary people should never get married! Never start a family! You just look down on me! You look down on me because I don't have parents, because I'm your family's Vassal Lord! WAHHH— WAHHHH—"
And with that, she burst into tears again.
Zhao Chi felt a bit helpless.
He sighed. "I don't look down on you in any way. I truly mean what I said. I really feel like I can't protect you right now..."
"Who needs your protection? I can protect myself! I can even protect you! I don't care. I'm putting it all on the line today. If you still won't have me, then I'll just die!"
