Affectionately Responding and Smiling at Me

— Hey, I saved your life, so what are you going to give me in return?
——There is nothing I can do to repay your life-saving grace, so I will promise you my hand in marriage instead.
— Don't, don't, don’t, repay me with money will do... stop where you’re at, I’ll report to the authorities if you take another!
—— The authorities are run by my family.
