"You shouldn't make decisions for her, and you certainly shouldn't hurt her under the guise of doing what's best for her!"
Xu Muyao raised an eyebrow, his face calm and collected, but his hand under the table clenched into a fist.
“If I didn’t put on such an act and completely cut off her hopes, how would you have a chance to get close to her?”
The words were light and slightly provocative, making Rong Youze's breathing quicken. He looked at him expressionlessly, like a ferocious beast whose scales had been touched, restraining himself for a long time before he showed any unusual behavior, but his voice contained anger.
"If I had known you would do this, I shouldn't have given you the chance in the first place!"

Xu Muyao was slightly taken aback. After a few seconds, he said, half teasing and half serious, "No wonder Yunxi is so fond of you. I'm starting to fall in love with you too."
