  Chapter 97: Obstinate and Unenlightened

  After leaving the hospital, the warm sunshine of autumn in the south still lingered. The purple flowers on both sides of the road were still blooming. But for Cheng Xi, her heart was filled with anxiety.

  "Dependence, you can't be so obstinate," her father said, his voice laced with anger. "That man has a fiancée! You can't just ignore that and continue to pursue him."

  "But he doesn't love that woman," Cheng Xi explained hastily. "He says the one he loves is me. He'll definitely marry me."

  "He's just using sweet words to deceive you," her father retorted. "You don't know, do you? Men are experts at speaking lies. And what's more, he's not a decent man. Did he ever tell you about his fiancée?"

  "I'm willing to believe him," Cheng Xi said stubbornly.

  "Believe him?" Her father's voice rose in anger. "You're being deceived by him once again! He's not suitable for you at all."

  "I don't care!" Cheng Xi shouted, her face red with tears. "I'll believe him even if you won't! He says he'll definitely marry me!"

  "Dependence, stop being so childish," her father scolded. "You're not a little girl anymore. Do you really think that kind of man will truly love you? Following him, do you think you'll be happy?"

  "But Dad, if I have to break up with Shao Yan, I'll be heartbroken," Cheng Xi sobbed. "I'll be in pain. I'll be miserable. Are you and Mom willing to see me suffer like that?"
