Lei Qian respected Bai Jixuan and Bai Zhan, but that didn't mean that he was scared of the two men. He was willing to listen to them but he was not going to ignore Bai Meiyue just for the sake of pleasing her two brothers. Bai Meiyue might love her brothers, but Lei Qian was quite certain she didn't like their overprotectiveness.
"She is my baby sister and you are not good enough for her. After what you did, you should have lowered your head and asked her hand for marriage right away, something you didn't do," snorted Bai Jixuan. "Now that my sister doesn't want to marry you, you are chasing after her. Do you think that my sister is some kind of toy you can pick whenever you want?"
"No," Lei Qian shook his head before stating in a solemn voice, "I do admit that there were some mistakes in my judgement. But I assure you that I never—not even once—wanted to disrespect Yueyue. If I refused to marry her at once, it was because I wanted to keep her safe from harm's way."
