Do not reject his candidature on a whim.

Yun Meiyi stared at the man whose concern was so evident for her. Hiding her wedding might have been her plan before, but now she doesn't feel it to be right. Especially when she could see the flickering emotions in Li Teng's eyes. So, when he asked, she didn't hesitate in telling him the truth. 

Li Teng would be leaving soon and it would be only good if he could move as a whole and not while leaving behind his heart and emotion. Holding someone special was one's right and she didn't want to interfere in that. But she couldn't be sinful to give him the hope that would never get fulfilled. 

Not because he wasn't competent enough to earn it. But more because she was not capable enough to give it to him. Su Yang might have been the reason for her incompetence once, but she had long moved on from him. Moved on in a way that she no longer remembers him.
