Chapter 141 I’m Serious

• The knife that was cutting meat suddenly slipped from Lu Yao’s hand before it made a screeching clatter. After pausing for two moments to hesitate, she looked up into the man’s handsome face with a guilty gaze. “I’m sorry, Dongnan, I’ve thought about your proposal long and hard, but I… I still can’t...” Finding it difficult to articulate her thoughts, she could only feel frustrated for herself while apologizing at him at the same time.
• The light in Xiang Dongnan’s eyes dimmed, but he wasn’t angry, nor did he lose his composure. His signature smile of warmth still danced on his lips. “There’s no need to apologize, since you can’t force love to happen anyway. We’ve gone through a failed marriage, so I can understand your cautiousness. We don’t want to get into another failure. It’s already comforting that you even considered it.”
• “Thank you for your understanding, Dongnan.” Lu Yao gave him a grateful look before she fed another piece of meat to Tiantian. Truthfully, she said, “I’m not friendzoning you, Dongnan. You don’t have to settle with how great you are. What you need to do is to find a woman you love. I trust that, with your preference, any woman that you like wouldn’t treat Tiantian badly.” In her opinion, Xiang Dongnan asked her to consider the proposal because he thought they were compatible partners who could be a family and lead a simple life.
