"You've never even met, so how could you be engaged?" Lin Zifeng felt something was off after hearing Zhao Xuemo's words.
"The engagement was all arranged by our parents. Three years ago, my parents' business was failing, facing bankruptcy. If it hadn't been for their family's financial investment, my parents' business would have been long gone."
"So to show their gratitude, your parents treated you as a repayable commodity?"
Zhao Xuemo lowered her head, not saying anything further, instead clutching her chest, feeling very down. This was the first time in three years she had spoken so openly with a man she barely knew.
As if every last bit of strength had been drained from her, Zhao Xuemo sighed deeply and leaned back on the sofa, slowly tilting her head to look at the man before her, whose eyes were somewhat red.
"Do you think I'm a particularly casual woman?" At that moment, Zhao Xuemo couldn't help but ask softly.
"No," Lin Zifeng shook his head.
"Thank you."
