Chiang Xiao was initially baffled, but then she felt a warmth in her heart.
She had not expected Ah Liu to have such progressive thoughts and views, and moreover, he seemed to worry that she might be forced into this and not be happy.
Had he considered that if she truly didn't want it, what right did he have to tell the elders that the engagement was off?
It seemed he hadn't thought of these difficulties—he just placed her thoughts first.
She asked softly, "If I really don't want it, how do you plan to tell his parents?"
Ah Liu was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed slightly, "Are you really being forced? Who? Is it your father, mother, or other elders in the family? Why do they force you? If they truly think it is appropriate for you to be with him and it's for your sake, then we can reason with them sentimentally and rationally."
Chiang Xiao smiled slightly.
