Chapter 553 The Characters Stand Out

• In Wu Jiayao's understanding, Yixi's words were purely out of embarrassment. After all, there were intricate relationships involved. Fu Tingshen and Monk Pei had been good friends for many years. If she were to marry Monk Pei, there were certain aspects of her past that Yixi was reluctant to be known, which Monk Pei would inevitably find out. This would only lead to embarrassment for Yixi.
• Yixi's persuasion provoked Wu Jiayao's displeasure. She said, "You can use all means to pressure Fu Tingshen to publicly acknowledge the relationship, wanting to flaunt it all over the world. But can't I just peacefully want to marry someone?"
• Yixi closed her eyes and sighed helplessly. She didn't harbor the same hatred towards Wu Jiayao as Yianran did. She simply didn't want to see her friend fall into a pit of misery and struggle to get out.
