"Mom, I didn't mean it that way..."
Ji Manman lowered her eyes even more aggrievedly, making a half-hearted defense, clearly showing she was still on Chu Xinian's side.
Chu Family's parents exchanged a glance, believing Ji Manman wasn't a self-sacrificing fool, thinking she must have other intentions for bowing down like this.
Mrs. Chu cleared her throat and reluctantly spoke, "Alright, since you two want to talk privately as a couple, your father and I will step outside, so you don't say we're being unreasonable."
After saying this, she looked at Chu Xinian with disappointment, shook her head, and sighed as she left with her husband. At the door, she paused again, "Xinian, we as parents only want what's best for you. You need to think carefully and take care of yourself."
