"I have no desire to cause you pain—and I think we've discovered I have other ways of causing you pleasure, if necessary," Luo Binghe says with a smirk. "Find me sometime in waking hours, then, and I'll attempt it. As for the rest... Do you remember how we agreed that Shen Yuan does not know himself? He speaks of himself as an unremarkable, unappealing person, when you and I both know he is a man of exceptional beauty and warmth. There is the same disconnect when you say you are difficult to love and a burden. It is not flattery if I say that you are effortlessly charming, well-liked, and unusually considerate. It's as plain to me as Shen Yuan's generosity, and as baffling to hear you discount it."
