"We truly love each other. I've liked her since I was very young, but knowing we're cousins, I feared you wouldn't approve, so..."
After pausing, Ye Jinyang continued, "Later, I went abroad. I thought I could forget her, but even after all these years, I still...can't forget her. Mom, Dad, can you give us your blessing?"
When he said this, it felt as if a knife was twisting inside his chest.

But despite this, he didn't want to repeat the past mistake of entangling with that person.
Perhaps, he already has a girlfriend. Perhaps, he's living better than I imagined?
If there's pain to bear, let me bear it alone. Why drag him into it, to be ridiculed by the world?
So, he lied, saying the person he liked was Xiao Xue.
Ye Que and Chi Zaozao exchanged glances, silent for a long time, before looking at Ye Jinyang. Ye Que asked in a serious tone, "Since you're already together, isn't asking for our consent a bit redundant?"
