But after hearing what Ye Jin'er said, they all understood.

Granny Zhao pouted and said, "What's the big deal? Before I got married, the matchmaker introduced me to a handsome young man. I thought he was perfect for me, and he was happy with me too. But after we met a few times, I found out he had bad breath and his fingernails were covered in dirt he had picked off his body. I immediately stopped wanting him."

"Back then, we weren't engaged or married yet, so who wouldn't allow us to inspect the goods carefully!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, only to see Zhao Facai staring at her.

Granny Zhao chuckled: "Then I met my old man, how wonderful."

"Jin'er thought it was the affection between siblings, and besides, her kindness to him was a way of returning the favor. But in his eyes, she was just stringing him along."

Everyone looked at Ye Peng with disapproval.

Ye Caicai nodded. Putting aside the fact that Jin'er had some feelings for Ye Pengye.

Even in modern times, once a relationship is established and people become boyfriend and girlfriend, they still have to test the waters step by step.

When it comes to dating, the key is in the relationship itself. If it goes well, you get married; if it doesn't, you break up.

There's no reason why two people shouldn't break up if they suddenly realize they're incompatible or have character flaws while dating.

Otherwise, there would be no need for dating; people would just get married as soon as they hit it off.

Not to mention that Jin'er and Ye Peng haven't even established a relationship yet, they haven't even started dating.

Jin'er only had a vague feeling of affection for Ye Peng, and she couldn't force him to marry her just because she had developed this feeling.

Ye Jin'er stared intently at Ye Peng: "That's how I feel about you. I was young and naive, and by the time I understood, my feelings for you were gone."

"Besides, since you like me, why don't you tell me privately? Are you sure what I feel? And what do you mean by suddenly giving me a gold hairpin in front of everyone and putting it in my hair?"

"Even when we go to a restaurant, the waiter will ask me if I want rice or noodles. You didn't even ask me, and you just assumed that since there was a table full of dead fish and rotten shrimp on the floor, and I didn't eat it, you said I thought the dead fish and rotten shrimp smelled bad?"

"Have you ever respected me? Have you ever asked for my opinion?"

Ye Jin'er's barrage of words stunned Ye Peng.

His face turned pale. Indeed, he wanted to get engaged without confirming her feelings for him...

His hesitation stemmed from... fear...

After saying that, Ye Jin'er let out a soft breath:

"Did you understand? No, it doesn't matter if you don't understand, because from this moment on, I hate you!"

"Also, I've said all this not to get rid of you, or to make you give up or anything like that. I just want to express all my feelings. Whether you give up or not, I don't care."

"But if you dare to offend me again, I'll give you two big sacks!"

After saying that, Ye Jin'er turned around and walked into the house.
