"Have you decided?"
Luo Zhen stopped, turned around, and looked at Asuna.
"Yes!"
Asuna nodded firmly.
Luo Zhen knew how difficult it had been for Asuna to make this decision.
Asuna had never been used to resisting her family's arrangements. She had lived that way ever since she was little.
Especially when it came to Kyoko—even Yuuki Shozo and Yuuki Koichiro had never opposed her. How could Asuna possibly resist her?
But this time, Asuna was clearly prepared to rebel.
"I'll persuade Mom!" Asuna said resolutely. "Mom might not listen to me, but compared to what Yuuki went through, this is nothing!"
All this time, Yuuki had been fighting against the Grim Reaper and her illness. From the moment she was born until now, she had never given up.
In the end, Yuuki had finally found salvation and obtained the future she deserved.
Then...
"I'll fight for my own future too!"
Asuna raised her eyes and looked straight at Luo Zhen.
"So, no matter how strongly Mom objects, I'll keep going!"
At that moment, there was no trace of confusion left in Asuna's eyes. All that remained was determination and fighting spirit.
That appearance was exactly the same as when she had once been praised as "the Flash."
Looking at Asuna like this, Luo Zhen could not help smiling.
Luo Zhen believed that as long as Asuna decided to resist, Kyoko would eventually compromise.
Although she could be somewhat self-righteous and conceited, Kyoko was not a bad person. In the end, everything she did was for her children.
Even though Kyoko had already been influenced by the impetuous environment within the Yuuki Clan, just like everyone else in society, becoming overly obsessed with her career and achievements and excessively practical, that did not mean she did not love her family.
