Li Xue felt a surge of excitement, but the thought of having to marry right after graduation left her feeling deeply saddened. She composed her complex emotions and followed Yu Haibao and the others out onto the street.
Li Anquan, Yu Haitang, and Yu Li had been observing closely. Li Xue was certainly decent-looking, but she struck them as excessively timid. A woman could sense that Li Xue was someone who obeyed her mother’s every word. While that wasn’t inherently a bad thing, a person ultimately needed to have a mind of their own.
Li Xue looked at the handsome Yu Haibao beside her, her heart filled with joy, but faced with the reality of her fate, she decided to speak up. "Yu Haibao, I like you, but we probably can't be together. My mother has set me up on a blind date. The man is over forty years old! I’ll likely have to get married once I graduate. Don't think about helping me anymore, and please, don't give me anything else."
