Let Nature Take Its Course

Li Yu shrugged and then asked, "Now that Ms. Wen is gone, can you answer my previous question?"

Jiang Ling'er was momentarily surprised and then replied, "I think... I'd prefer to let nature take its course."

Li Yu appeared somewhat disappointed and smiled, saying, "What? Do you think it's not the right time yet? So, you're not accepting me?"

Jiang Ling'er responded earnestly, "It's not that I'm not accepting you. I just believe my abilities are still inadequate, and I'm not qualified to stand by your side."

Li Yu was speechless.

Summoning his courage, Li Yu embraced Jiang Ling'er, planting an excited kiss on her hair.

Jiang Ling'er's ears turned red, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she said, "Don't take advantage of me."

Since he wasn't rejected, Li Yu was overjoyed. He said, "I don't think you lack qualifications. But I respect your decision and will always protect you because there's no one more suitable for me than you."
