Qin Yiren choked up, her expression complex as she said, "Actually... there's no need for you to compromise like this."
"Whether it's a compromise, that's for me to decide."
Chu Xinian smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, his gaze unwavering as he stared at her, continuing with implied meaning, "Besides, the fact that you agreed to see me means I still have something that appeals to you, right?"
Qin Yiren couldn't control her erratic heartbeat, averted her gaze and forced herself to say, "I only see you because of Bao."
"...That's fine." Chu Xinian chuckled softly, his eyes slightly narrowed, seeming to see through Qin Yiren's confusion, yet not caring at all, "No matter the reason, being able to see you makes me very happy."
Qin Yiren listened helplessly to his sweet talk, raised her hand to press vaguely against her heart, feeling it might be better to change the topic quickly.
