Lu Xia's words shook Lan Ya to her core. She'd never imagined things could be like this.
In the past, she was always surrounded by men. Some she sought out herself, others came looking for her.
Regardless of how they met, there was always a purpose involved, and these chosen partners were always carefully compared and selected.
After all, given her status, how could someone too ordinary possibly reflect her nobility? Taking them out in public would just make her a laughingstock.
While she prided herself on her own station, she also placed great importance on her partner's.
She had always considered herself a strong person, but today, after listening to Lu Xia, she truly realized she wasn't yet strong enough to disregard everything else. At the very least, she didn't have Lu Xia's mindset.
A mindset that allowed one to completely ignore a partner's status, satisfied with simply doing what one believed was best.
She couldn't help but care about what other people thought.
