Gu Li also had a hard time during the days he didn't see Liu Yin.
In fact, he hadn't felt at ease ever since his grandmother talked to him that night.
Gu Li couldn't understand why her grandmother valued Su Yan so much.
She was even willing to wrong her own grandson for this.
When Gu Li saw her cousin as soon as she got back, she felt that something was wrong.
He never expected that, after several years, his cousin would still be unmarried.
Although he corresponded with his family, it was mostly the old lady who talked about his health and marriage; she never mentioned Su Yan.
Gu Li thought his cousin had already gotten married, but because of what had happened before, he didn't want to ask.
I never expected to see him again when I came back this time.
However, considering Liu Yin, whom he had brought back with him, Gu Li didn't think much of it. His grandmother had been urging him to get married, and he assumed she would be happy about it.
Even that night, when he excitedly went to find her, he thought his grandmother was going to talk to him about Tong Liuyin's marriage.
It is indeed a wedding.
However, it wasn't Gu Li and Liu Yin's.
It was the old lady's grandson and his cousin.
Gu Li didn't understand why his grandmother insisted on bringing him and his cousin together.
He doesn't love his cousin, and he won't be happy marrying her.
But seeing her grandmother's moist eyes, Gu Li hesitated again. Her grandmother was already old, and in the past, Gu Li certainly wouldn't have let her emotions fluctuate so much.
But this matter concerns his marriage.
These past few days, Gu Li hasn't gone to see Liu Yin. He once said he would marry her, but now he's starting to hesitate.
He didn't go to see his grandmother either. He was afraid that if he saw her, she would cry and make him marry his cousin.
Sitting in his study, Gu Li couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; he had been troubled by this matter for the past few days.
Suddenly hearing a knock on the door, Gu Li became somewhat annoyed and said, "Come in."
As the door opened, a familiar fragrance wafted in on the breeze.
Gu Li suddenly felt a little flustered. He looked up and, sure enough, it was Liu Yin. He stood up abruptly. "Why are you here?"
Liu Yin chuckled lightly, "What, if the general doesn't come to see me, am I not allowed to come to see you?"
She still looked very gentle, Gu Li thought to himself, this is the kind of wife he wanted.
He strode up to Liuyin, pulled her into his arms, and explained, "No, I've just been a bit busy lately."
I was planning to see you again in a while.
Gu Li inexplicably didn't want Liu Yin to know about this.
The man's voice was deep and resonant, and when he spoke softly, it sounded even more magnetic and pleasant.
However, Liu Yin dared not believe much of what the man in front of her said.
Looking at Gu Li's attempt to cover up his true feelings, she couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous.
What a greedy person! He wants family, but he can't bear to give up his love.
Su Yan is not good at hiding her true self.
From the moment she started appearing frequently in front of Liu Yin, Liu Yin knew that Gu Li was hesitating.
Otherwise, what right would an extremely ordinary-looking woman have to provoke her? There was even a hint of smugness in her eyes.
So when Su Yan came to see Liu Yin again, Liu Yin just frowned and then said softly.
"No matter how many times Miss Biao comes to see me, it won't change one fact."
"What facts?"
"The truth is, Miss, you'll be picking up the things I don't want for the rest of your life," Liu Yin said with a smile, her tone laced with undisguised sarcasm.
And so, Liuyin put her words into practice.
Even though she was inwardly scoffing at the man's pretense, Liu Yin's face remained delicate and gentle.
I've missed you so much these days.
Seeing Liu Yin's tearful eyes, Gu Li felt a deep sense of guilt.
I feel guilty about his hesitation these past few days.
He raised his hand and gently stroked Liuyin's cheek. "I miss you too."
That's true, after all, Liuyin is the only woman he's ever been attracted to in the past twenty years.
Their eyes met, and feelings welled up between them.
Liuyin didn't plan to stay in the general's mansion for too long; all she wanted was to get pregnant.
As for Gu Li, Liu Yin felt somewhat disgusted with him, as a man, he was so hesitant and indecisive.
If you like someone, that's fine. But if you back down because of external forces, can that really be called love?
Liuyin wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, so she was being particularly proactive at this moment.
Gu Li initially wanted to refuse, but then, for some reason, she gave in.
...
After a night of tenderness.
In her sleepy haze, Liu Yin felt the man watching her.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yin asked softly, nestled in Gu Li's arms.
Gu Li hesitated for a moment, but still prepared to make his point clear: "My grandmother wants me to marry my cousin."
Liu Yin blinked. "Oh."
What's the point of telling her this? It's already obvious.
If Liuyin were truly a beautiful but helpless orphan, she would have been incredibly anxious during the days when Gu Li didn't see her.
Unfortunately, Liuyin is not one of them.
She didn't come for Gu Li's love, so what business is it of hers who he marries?
Anyway, she'll leave after today.
After Gu Li finished speaking, he stared intently at the expression on Liu Yin's face.
Gu Li thought that if Liu Yin showed any reluctance or anger on his face, he would definitely refuse his grandmother.
However, Liuyin's face did not show any obvious expression; she still looked sleepy.
After all, I went to bed very late last night.
Liu Yin wasn't angry, and Gu Li couldn't tell whether she should feel disappointed or relieved.
