Yi Yao's Concerns

Jiang Guo was genuinely puzzled by Yi Yao's actions. "Are you planning to pave the way all by yourself and then let someone else take over?"

Yi Yao looked at Jiang Guo, her expression bitter, and whispered, "No, Jiang Guo, it's not like that. It's just that I've seen how Fang Shan was when he was with his girlfriend. If we were to start a relationship and he didn't truly love me but was merely grateful, I wouldn't be able to bear the fact. So if he doesn't love me, and it's just out of gratitude, I won't accept him."

Yi Yao continued, letting out a sigh, "If his girlfriend were still alive, and they had broken up for some reason, I might have taken the chance, fought for him, and hoped he would forget his ex and fall for me. But the reality is, his girlfriend passed away during a time when he was still deeply in love with her. Even if one day he does move on from this grief, there will always be a corner of his heart reserved for her."
