Even if Zhu Bufan did that sort of thing under the guise of treating illness, it would not be acceptable if there was no actual relationship; she would rather die.
This is simply irrational! It was Du Yujiao who actively "gave up" treatment, and in theory, her life and death shouldn't be Zhu Bufan's concern. However, Zhu Bufan, no matter what, was unwilling to watch her die because Su Bingshan was not alone; she also had her little girl, Xiao Yan.
If she died, that poor child would be utterly pitiable. Su Bingshan had repeatedly asked Zhu Bufan to help raise Xiao Yan, but if Zhu Bufan married Zhan Feiyu, would Zhan Feiyu tolerate this little girl?
Five minutes later, Zhu Bufan finally mustered the courage to be upfront with Su Bingshan: "Teacher Su, the engagement matter is just a proposal from them, and has not been formalized yet. I'm trying to delay them, that's all. I will find the right opportunity to lay it out with them, okay?"
