Chapter 134, Rejection (4 more)

Xie Zhinuan saw Yuan Liuwang's demeanor and felt that some things needed to be made clear.

"Yuan Liuwang, you don't need to wait to marry me, I will not marry you. If you think I'm heartless and unfeeling, we can cut off our relationship. A true man should aspire to make his way in the world, not be trapped by emotions. If I keep hesitating, not liking you but still leading you on, giving you the impression that there might be hope, that would truly be heartless. In matters of love, I will not give you any hope. If you are willing, we can be friends, business partners, talking only about business—not love!"

If he was not willing, she would not hold him back.

Yuan Liuwang was stunned into silence.

With astonishment, shock, and a heart filled with disappointment, he looked at Xie Zhinuan.

"Am I so unworthy in your eyes? No matter how hard I try, do I still appear to you as nothing but a common village man?" Yuan Liuwang asked hoarsely.

"Ha!" Xie Zhinuan laughed.
