"And Tingyue, my dear sister, you are such a quiet, beautiful, and innocent young woman. You are truly the apple of Celestial Craft Workshop's eye. So, in this situation, you are sure to be well-loved by many. If I suddenly appear by your side, even if we have no real marital relationship, the things we've done make it appear to others as if we have. Naturally, people would be extremely jealous of me."
"If I were all alone, I wouldn't care about others' jealousy. At worst, if I couldn't win a fight, I'd just run away. But I have the Wei Family behind me, a trade association, and a multitude of things I hold dear, so I must consider these matters carefully."
Bu Tingyue immediately understood.
So that's how it is. But was he truly being sincere? Does a poor boy think marrying a rich girl is all about living the good life? What do others think of the poor boy? In such a situation, forcing together people not of equal standing often ends very badly.
