“Really?” Gu Jinshu interrupted.

Yu Wenchao then smiled and said "okay".

...

Much later, Gu Jinshu learned that there was no Miss Liu at all, and that it was all a scheme set up by Yu Wenchao.

From their first meeting outside the jewelry store to her numerous subsequent refusals, it was all a trap set by him. Gu Jinshu's self-perceived attempts to target and tease him were nothing more than being lured into his trap.

It was then that she remembered that she had met Yu Wenchao several years ago.

At that time, Yu Wenchao accompanied his grandfather to the capital and was a guest at the Prince Cheng's mansion. He saw her squatting by the pond watching the fish through the covered corridor, and then she accidentally fell into the pond.

Just as he was about to call for help, he saw her climb out of the pool without crying or making a fuss. She saw him, looked up at him, smiled, and then made a shushing gesture, signaling him not to make a sound.

Later, Yu Wenchao learned that the little girl who fell into the pond and swam back up was the young princess of the Prince Cheng's mansion.

When Prince Cheng heard him say that his youngest daughter was cute, he jokingly asked him if he wanted to arrange a marriage between his daughter and his child.

Yu Wenchao was about ten years old at the time, and he already knew what it meant to arrange a marriage between children. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay."

Later, he returned to his ancestral home and did not set foot in Yujing for several years. He rarely thought of the little princess who climbed out of the pond and smiled at him. He also knew that the arranged marriage was just a joke made by Prince Cheng to tease him.

But even after so many years, when his elders urged him to get married, he still immediately thought of the little princess from back then.

Since you can't let it go, then go and see.

With that in mind, he went to Yujing.

The little princess from back then has grown into a graceful young woman, no longer squatting by the pond watching the fish. But after seeing her again, he fell in love with this vibrant woman once more.

Then he began to plot, waiting for her to walk right into his trap.

Fortunately, he finally got what he was waiting for.

Young love is often like this: a fleeting moment becomes a lifetime.
