In her past life, Qin Jiao had also faced hardship. After being expelled from school, her reputation in the village plummeted, and life became so difficult that she ultimately had no choice but to marry Shen Yi.
But in this life, Qin Jiao was so exceptional that she didn't need to rely on marriage to solve her problems.
Shen Yi lowered his gaze and said softly, "If I'm going to get married, I'll only marry Jiao Jiao. But she probably doesn't want to get married right now."
"This whole thing... it's a bit tricky. Let's wait until we get to North City and give it some serious thought," Du Liya said, vexed. "Either way, I refuse to let Shen Zhengfeng get what he wants!"
Shen Yi grunted in acknowledgment, but what he was really thinking was, 'If I can just tie her to my side, even under some other pretext, that would be for the best. That way, I can make sure no other man swoops in and steals Jiao Jiao away during college!'
