Xu Damao had actually been there for quite a while. He had been knocking on the door incessantly, which had long since woken Qin Jingru up inside the room.

Yet, the moment she thought about the crushing debt she would have to shoulder if she married him, her resolve wavered. She stayed inside, delaying, pretending there was no one home.
When she heard Li Anquan and Xu Damao talking outside the door, she scrambled back to bed in a panic, pretending to be asleep again.
