Li Chen noticed that everyone's gaze was fixed on him, and he responded with a polite yet slightly awkward smile.
"Master Xie, you're joking. Now that we face a great enemy and stand at the crossroads of life and death, how can we be entangled in trivial matters of romance?"
Li Chen's words caused Xie Chen's expression to darken slightly, looking somewhat displeased.
Even Xie Wanwan, with her bright eyes, seemed filled with ripples of disappointment.
"Hmph, even if you wanted to marry, I wouldn't want to!"
Xie Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically at Li Chen, then hurriedly turned around to look into the distance.
Xia Ning'er, however, perceptively noticed the redness in her eyes, as if tears were about to fall.
Having known Xie Wanwan for a long time, how could she not understand Xie Wanwan's feelings for Li Chen?
Yet this matter was so deeply involved; she opened her mouth, wanting to say something to Li Chen, but the words stuck, unsure of what to say.
