We Are Strangers

"Master Ye, I get what you're saying, but..." Ye Leng'an flashed a smile, but there was no warmth in her eyes when she glanced at Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. "My option has always been my own, so I don't need your stuff."

She hadn't expected Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu to show up today with a dowry. Unfortunately, she wasn't into that kind of thing and wouldn't take it.

"Leng'an, why are you so stubborn?" Lian Mengzhu sounded defeated and a bit flustered. "We're not trying to make you do anything. We just want to give you a dowry. Can't you appreciate that?"

"Why should I appreciate it?" Ye Leng'an scoffed. "You want to give me something. As the person involved, don't I have the right to say no?"

"We didn't mean it like that!" Lian Mengzhu rushed to explain. "We... we just wanted to do something nice for you. Why can't you accept it?"
