"So, Gu Nanyan, you fell in love with me because I saved you, right?" Shen Bei'an spoke each word clearly and softly, like a willow branch gently brushing the surface of a lake, leaving no trace.
He loved Gu Nanyan not because she doted on him and always went along with him, but more because he had feelings of love for her.
“No,” Gu Nanyan refused outright. “I heard from my mother and the others that when you were celebrating your first birthday, you grabbed me tightly, and then both families deliberately arranged for us to live together to cultivate our relationship.”
Gu Nanyan chuckled slightly as he said this, "Actually, I hate a life that's controlled, and I don't like a life that's bound by constraints.

“I am not greedy for power, but I know that if I want to raise such a precious child and protect you, I must have enough power.”
"We all know that when the Tyndall effect occurs, light takes on shape."
