Let's Get Married

"You've considered a lot." Rex says as he wrinkles his eyebrows in anger."The market matters aren't as simple as you might think. You will not be able to smooth it even if you interfere in it. Plus, are you so confident that you won't be with me again one day?"

If they reconcile later, it will be the biggest sarcasm for Ryan, so it is better if Lily stops to interfere in this matter from now on. It would be the best for her, and for Ryan.

Rex was not saying these for his own good. Instead, he considered the matter on Lily's side, but at present, Lily cannot understand it.

"I'm not asking you to ask Ryan to stop. I have the ability to undertake this. All you have to do is to not involve yourself, understand?" he adds, for fear that she may misunderstand it.

Lily is dumbfounded by his words, especially the part"are you so confident that you will not be with me again one day". It feels like her heart is being bludgeoned.

These words...How could he spit out these words, confidently, as if it will definitely happen in the future?

But his confidence makes her unconfident about their relationship.

Rex looks at her angry expression, and sighs heavily,"I don't know what you have achieved over the past five years. Maybe you've made a success. But I'm different from Ryan. I won't make my woman suffer any grievance from others. You can be independent and work hard, but you don't have to force yourself to swallow the grievance. I will protect you and Adair."
