Li Mei did not object to Jiang An and Zou Bai being together anymore, but she did not want everyone to know about it. In her opinion, this was two different things.
It was fine as long as the two children liked each other and they were in love. If everyone in the city knew about it, it would definitely be discussed openly.
Any small action of theirs could be interpreted. Whether they were still together or whether they had broken up would become a trending topic from time to time.
No matter how strong love was, it could not withstand this. After all, no one wanted their private matters to become a topic of conversation.
Moreover, Li Mei didn't want to tell the Zou family about the children. She was afraid that they would force the children back. Zou Bai's promise was indeed trustworthy, but he couldn't represent the entire Zou family alone.
