However, when she heard Leng Xuan's response, she couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed; it must have been a subtle rejection, she thought to herself. At that moment, she also recalled the several girls who had been visiting Leng Xuan regularly during this period. Each of these girls was no less attractive than her, and they all had different charms. Any one of them going out would be a target of men's eager pursuit. Perhaps that was why he wasn't interested in her, she thought, and felt a little forlorn. Nevertheless, she kept up a brave front and said with a forced smile, "I was just joking. Someone like you, you have a long way to go before you'd be worthy of marrying me."
Leng Xuan didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the subject and started talking about other things. However, they had hardly spoken a few words when the door to the hospital room was pushed open once again.
