"Young Master, I just saved your life, I don't need you to pledge yourself to me. You can be grateful to me, respect me, but you absolutely cannot fall in love with me."
Miss Xu was quite experienced when it came to rejecting suitors.
For someone like Xiahou Huai Gui who was pampered, upright in conduct, yet deeply calculating, she couldn't use the typical subtle rejection with him.
The budding affection was mercilessly cut off by Miss Xu. Though not heartbroken, Xiahou Huai Gui still felt somewhat unwilling.
"So, Miss Xu isn't willing to give me even the slightest chance?"
Miss Xu nodded, "You can be my partner, my friend, but you absolutely cannot be my suitor. I have actively sought marriage with Huo Wen'an, and I must remain responsible to him, I hope the Young Master understands."
If it were before, Xiahou Huai Gui would have found such words absurd and funny.
A girl actively proposing to a boy was somewhat lacking in modesty.
