Fang Ming let out a long sigh. "I admit that I misjudged Chen Shi'an and did something utterly foolish."
Then his tone shifted. "But since he proposed those terms, it means he no longer wants any ties with our Fang family.
You turned him down tonight. I'm afraid it isn't realistic for our Fang family to hope for more."
Fang Ruyu shook her head. "Father, the fact that Chen Shi'an rescued me from Song Yuming shows that he values affection and loyalty, and repays kindness.
The fact that he came here tonight also shows that he cares deeply about the child.
As long as he cares about the child, we needn't fear having no opportunities.
