Cheng Huaijin didn't make a decision for Gu Yingxue either. He also believed that Gu Yingxue should make her own decision. What others say is just their opinion, and she must learn to make her own decisions.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yingxue made her decision: "Okay, I'll go see him."
Cheng Huaijin nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you. Where would you like to meet him?"
Gu Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "Let's find a teahouse."
Cheng Huaijin: "Okay, I'll arrange it. Don't be nervous or afraid, I'll be by your side the whole time."
Gu Yingxue nodded.
That evening, Gu Yingxue told Gu Qingyuan and Peng Yizhu about it.
Gu Qingyuan said, "It's good to go see her. Some things are better said than left unsaid. Xue'er, you'll be going to the Western Lands with Xiao Jin from now on. Although Xiao Jin has a messenger hawk there, and your second aunt has a courier agency that handles goods, you're still not in front of your mother and me. From now on, you'll be an adult there and will have to learn to handle many things on your own. Do you understand?"
Gu Yingxue nodded: "Father, I understand. I've thought it through very clearly. No matter what happens in the future, I'm willing to follow Brother Xiaojin. Father, Mother, you know that in both my past and present lives, I've only ever been in love with Brother Xiaojin. I'm so glad that the first person I ever fell in love with was my soulmate. Although it's too early to call him my soulmate, I firmly believe that Brother Xiaojin is him. So, no matter how hard or tiring things may be in the future, I will persevere and will not give up. As long as Brother Xiaojin is good to me, that's enough."
Peng Yizhu gently brushed a stray hair from Gu Yingxue's ear, sighing, "Back in modern times, your father and I were always worried that you were too naive and foolish. We were afraid that after graduation, you'd be deceived by unreliable people, and that you'd only care about how good they were to you. Isn't there a saying that once he treats you badly, you'll have nothing left? Sigh, in this situation, even if he treats you badly, you're not completely destitute, but the pain won't be any less than if you truly had nothing. A woman marries for food and clothing, and Xiao Jin will certainly not shortchange you in that regard. But what about other things? He's the future King of the Quicksand, and he definitely won't treat you like the men in those idealized love stories you imagine, Xue'er, do you understand?"
Gu Yingxue nodded firmly: "Mom, I understand. This is real life, not an idol drama. Actually, I'm not that much of a romantic person. In fact, even if he doesn't love me, as long as I love him, I feel happy. Maybe this is the first time I've fallen in love with someone! Before, I thought saying 'like' was too shallow, and 'love' was too deep. But, what Xiao Jin is doing now makes me feel that the word 'love' isn't so deep. I'm willing. Dad, Mom, I'm really willing. Even if I'm willing to stay with him in the desert land of endless yellow sand, whatever he wants to do, I'll do it with him. If I can't do something, I'll learn it; if I can't learn it, I'll do what I can. After all, I'm not a complete failure. Everyone's love is different, but the destination is the same: happiness. I believe that Xiao Jin and I will be happy in the end. So, Dad, Mom, please believe me, I will take good care of myself, I will learn to grow up. And please believe in Xiao Jin, he won't wrong me."
