Alanruo answered a question of Shen Ye's, then posed one of her own: "What if I cannot manage to live in harmony with Junuo and her sister? What about you? What do you plan to do?"
Alanruo felt that as long as Shen Ye could not stand firmly by her side, there was no point in discussing anything else.
Shen Ye tried to explain to Alanruo that he showed extra care to Junuo only because he was indebted to her biological father. He hoped Alanruo could understand the difficulties behind his actions and that the two of them could get along well, which would spare him from being caught in the middle.
