But now that Shangguan Xiu was coldly refusing him, Grand Elder Shangguan could only guess that Shangguan Xiu was still angry with him.
After all, Grand Elder Shangguan had also figured it out now: in Shangguan Xiu's heart, An Xiaomian was more important than anyone.
Back then, he and Shangguan Xiu's parents had tried every possible way to stop Shangguan Xiu and An Xiaomian from being together; Shangguan Xiu must have held a grudge against them all along.
The reason Shangguan Xiu didn't agree to his grandfather's proposal was because he knew the condition of his own body.
He thought he would never have the chance to marry An Xiaomian.
He was unwilling to accept it, but he didn't want to use marriage to trap An Xiaomian.
He was afraid that he might suddenly die, and that it would be very hard and very pitiful for An Xiaomian to be widowed alone in the future.
But at the same time, he couldn't bear the thought of An Xiaomian marrying another man after he died.
