"Although it's just a verbal agreement, it's still a promise, and we can't break a promise. Xiao Xiao can't accept this 'Paper Marriage Certificate' from us."
Ye Cheng couldn't bear to think about his sister, who they had just found not long ago, becoming a part of someone else's family so soon; Qiao Si's actions were really out of line.
"Back then, it was because your aunt and uncle got together that the Zhu Family suggested putting the marriage promise onto the next generation of our families, without specifying it had to be Xiao Xiao. Besides, Xiao Xiao's surname is Ye, not Su, so she doesn't count as the Su Family's next generation. Therefore, Xiao Xiao isn't bound by marriage."
Qiao Si had long clarified what the marriage arrangement between the Su and Zhu families was all about. From start to finish, no specific individuals were named in that agreement, so it was unclear whether Xiao Xiao or Zhu Xiang were the intended subjects of the marriage promise.
