"Wan'an, they all stand by you when it comes to feelings, supporting you regardless of the consequences. I can't. I can't just act without thinking like they do. I can't stand idly by as they jeopardise the entire Han Family for your sake."
"Wan'an, I know I'm doing you wrong, but I have no choice. Wan'an, I don't want to force you. I've just laid down the facts - the Han Family, Han Jingnian, and the grandmother who has always treated you like her own granddaughter... I hope you can really think about what you should do."
Having said all that she had to say in one breath, Lu Yangui felt surprisingly relieved.
Some things don't need to be said too directly; everyone can understand the implied meaning. Lu Yangui knew very well that Xia Wan'an would have understood her hint. She made another pot of tea and said to Xia Wan'an, "Wan'an, I have some work to do this afternoon, so I'll leave first. I've paid the bill and made a fresh pot of tea for you. You... take your time to think."
