Wan Siang's statement clearly hit Miss Hu's pride which had come with confidence. But love does make people unable to think clearly. Already know the heart hurt, still the feeling of love that has already come can not be lost.
“What does this mean that you rejected me?” ask Miss Hu.
“I just want to advise, among us there is no acceptance or rejection. Before Miss leads to it, first of all I want to warn myself Miss to be able to take the right steps.”
Wan Siang was still trying to keep his attitude. As a more sentient man, he certainly understood Miss Hu's situation. The man did not mean to demean a woman who came to ask for his heart. Wan Siang who once would probably have more hurtful words.
“I myself do not care about your relationship with the Sweet One. But you can hold my word, if you accept me as a wife, I promise I won't separate you. As long as you want to accept me too to be by your side.”
Wan Siang's sense of wonder towards Miss Hu was becoming more and more so. The girl instead of retreating and giving up, instead tried to bargain with him.
“If that's the case, don't you like drinking poison? Don't hurt yourself, Miss Hu.”
“By being with you, I'm willing.”
“Actually what do you like about me? Even we just got to know.”
“I don't know. But since seeing you for the first time, I instantly fell in love.”
“Do not easily believe the mind for a moment. It could be misleading.”
“But I understand my feelings. You're the only one I like in this world.”
“From now on you've always talked about your wishes. Don't you want to know other people's feelings, my wishes, Sweet's wishes?”
“Did you really not want me?”
“If your question is like that, then I should reiterate here, that my answer is no.”
Miss Hu was like being dropped to the ground. His pride is ruined. He cried in front of Wan Siang, like a child whose doll had been taken away. He did not know how to rise from his fall.
If Wan Siang said that he generally only had a little feeling, then his cold attitude in front of Miss Hu as the girl cried was very appropriate to describe it. Her heart was not moved in the slightest, not trying to stop Miss Hu's cries.
According to Wan Siang, if Miss Hu were to cry, then the cause would be the girl herself. Miss Hu herself who came to Wan Siang's house and asked for something. It is up to Wan Siang to accept or reject Miss Hu's wishes. What hurt Miss Hu was not Wan Siang, but the hope of the girl who had first soared.
Miss Hu did not say another word. The more he spoke, the more his heart would hurt. So he decided to go home, accompanied by Sun Kwan.
Sun Kwan looked at Miss Hu whose eyes were red and watery from crying. He was eager to ease the sadness that was plaguing the girl.
“Don't be sad, Miss Hu,” said Sun Kwan as if he could feel the heartbreak of the girl.
“This is the first time I like someone and that person doesn't like me. I am a pathetic human being,” replied Miss Hu.
“If my brother had not known the Sweet One, I am sure he would have accepted you.”
“It looks like a woman named The Sweet one means a lot to him. Do you also know the Sweet One?”
“Yes, if my sister doesn't want it, of course I would be happy if I could live with the Sweetie. She was my first love.”
Miss Hu was astonished, it turned out that Sun Kwan also considered the Sweet special.
“What's special about the girl, is she very smart?”
“Not really. I'm sure you're much smarter than him. The girl is so simple. Can you also explain why you like my sister?”
“I did too, I liked The Sweetie from the first time I saw her. That's why I can understand your feelings.”
Miss Hu tried to calm herself down, and looked towards Sun Kwan. The young man was handsome and intelligent, but his love fate was also bad, as was his.
“So you were rejected by that Sweet Man? Though.. You are handsome, smart and kind.”
Sun Kwan was delighted to hear Miss Hu's opinion of her.
“I've never expressed love for Sweet, but I know that she doesn't love me. Her love is only for my brother, and my brother plans to marry her.”
“Married him?” Miss Hu was aghast.
“Is your sister serious? Has their relationship been approved by your parents?”
“Our parents don't know about their relationship yet. I'm sure it'll be hard to get their approval, especially my mom. Looks like Mama would rather you be Wan Siang's wife.”
Upon hearing this, hope grew in Miss Hu's heart. The relationship between Wan Siang and Si Manis will be difficult to get blessing from the Wan Siang family, because Ms. Liem was more on Miss Hu's side.
The hope that had been shattered into pieces was like reuniting. As long as Wan Siang and Si Manis were not officially married, then Miss Hu felt she still had that chance. Anything can still happen.
“Sun Kwan, as long as Wan Siang is not legally married, I feel I still have a chance to be his wife. The relationship of your sister and the girl will be difficult to accept by your family.”
“I thought you'd given up, Miss Hu.”
“Do you think I'm a quitter?” girl
“But I warned you from now on. My brother's love for Sweet is so strong, I don't know what they would have done if my parents didn't approve.”
Miss Hu back then was still thinking like most people. Many children are forced to give up their love when parents do not approve of their relationship with their lover. Usually, rich family children are afraid of not getting an inheritance or not considered a child again by their family if they do not comply.
Unfortunately Miss Hu did not know Wan Siang very well. He thought Wan Siang would obey his parents, like most of the children of rich families who did not want to lose their high position in the eyes of the community. Not a few of these children depend on their lives to their wealthy parents.
Even Mr. Liem, Wan Siang's own father, was ultimately unable to marry the woman he loved due to parental blessing constraints. Family relations are very important in Chinese society, even if the family relationship has been severed due to death. The children of the descendants will not just break the relationship. They will continue to remember the ancestors and pay their respects in front of the altar of the ancestors in their respective homes.

The Sweet approached Wan Siang after Miss Hu's departure. The girl remained calm even though she knew a woman was coming and expecting the love of the man she loved.
“The girl came home crying, I feel sorry,”, said the Sweetie.
“That was due to his own actions,” Wan Siang said in a flat voice.
“Engkoh can remain calm if you see women crying in front of Engkoh.”
“I've often seen women cry in front of me, they do like to cry if their wishes are not fulfilled, like a child.”
Wan Siang recalled some of the events when the women who expected his love cried because they did not get Wan Siang in the end. Especially Miss Sie, her former fiance.
After the incident with Miss Sie, Wan Siang seemed to want revenge with women. He accepted the woman who wanted to be close to him, but after a long relationship and the woman hoped to be made a wife, Wan Siang immediately broke off the relationship. As a result, the women cried in front of him.
If there was one of the women who really loved him, of course Wan Siang would not do that cruel. Wan Siang did so because he knew their true intentions. The women were only chasing after treasures. Wan Siang could not accept the woman who wanted to be his wife just because of the treasure. He deliberately tested, but all the women failed his test. Only the Sweetie got through the test.
