Faced with such a look, even though Lu Xue'er was still dissatisfied, her tone softened a bit, "It's alright, what's wrong?"
Qin Huaijun sighed sadly, "You are the eldest daughter of the Lu family, living on the clouds, with an extremely noble status. I have always felt uneasy before, always feeling that I am not good enough for you. Now that I have seen the wealth and connections of the Lu family, I feel even more inferior."
Seeing his gloomy expression, Lu Xue'er pursed her lips and said, "You... don't think like that. Aren't we already engaged?"
