Ye Ling calmed down from her earlier shock, watching Shen Bin's sincerity, and walked over to sit on the kang. In truth, she had never thought about being with Shen Bin in this lifetime. From the initial misunderstandings to the events that transpired between them and her two past relationships, she never expected Shen Bin to propose being together face to face. Ye Ling knew that if Shen Bin spoke up, he must have thought it through carefully.
"You know my situation, and I only have a good impression of you; that impression is because you helped me, not out of affection. Can you accept that?" Ye Ling couldn't accept being with someone she didn't love, yet she didn't mind being around Shen Bin.
It was precisely because she had been hurt twice in her previous encounters that if it weren't for her father's wish for her to settle down, she wouldn't want to engage with relationships within the next few years.
