"But that day we didn't really have a relationship, so you don't have to be responsible for me; you don't have to marry me for real."
Li Yifei placed his hand on Xu Yingying's leg, gently rubbing it as he said, "I won't deny that if we hadn't done that that day, I wouldn't still be maintaining this marriage with you."

"Do you mean that you used to... like me?" Xu Yingying asked nervously, looking nothing like a boss and more like a little girl afraid of losing something.
