   Song Siyi's gaze lingered on her stubborn eyes for a moment, then, as if struck by a thought, he chuckled playfully. He gripped her chin, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "You really like your fiancé that much? Running away time and time again, just to marry him?" Seeing she didn't answer, he didn't care.

He seemed to have suddenly changed his mind, got up, picked up his clothes, and lazily buttoned them. He glanced back at Chu Jiaoyang on the bed, a slight smile playing on his lips.
