The structure 爱…不…
“As you wish...”
We use the pattern to express freedom of an action or acceptance of a situation: “if this is what you want, then do it; otherwise - don’t”.
Pay attention
This pattern has a connotation of indifference or dissatisfaction.
In this construction, we should state this pattern after the subject. The same verb should be stated before and after 不.
