Additionally, it would be best to wait until after getting married to find a good opportunity to explain the truth to Chu Xuan; otherwise, if I keep it hidden for a lifetime, I might find it difficult to bear, feeling a constant knot in my heart.
Chu Xuan hesitated upon hearing this, "Perhaps it's better to wait a while longer before speaking."
Haitang was instantly a bit upset, "Are you unwilling? Or do you not like me at all, and have no feelings for me?"
Chu Xuan quickly explained, "No, that's not it. It's just so sudden, you need to give me some time to think."
Gu Haitang's expression softened at these words; she bit her lip, feeling she was being a bit too hasty, almost like she was forcing a marriage.
Thus, she lowered her head with a bit of shyness and said, "Alright, take your time to consider. After all, I've already decided that I will marry no one but you."
