Luo Wanqing tried to understand what was happening, but she had no idea what had gotten into Gu Sinian. She had seen people pretend to be cultured scholars, pretend to be devoted and regretful, but she had never seen anyone pretend to be gay. Was it fun?
“Since that’s the case, you have an agreement, so you don’t need to run around for him or worry about him. Let him do whatever he wants; it has nothing to do with you,” Luo Wanqing said. “I’m still a bit confused. Don’t you want to get married? Otherwise, why would you make such an agreement with him? Although ancient men often had multiple wives and concubines, not all of them were like that. You can take your time and find someone. Oh, wait, you’re a marquis’s daughter, so you probably don’t have much freedom. Don’t worry, if things don’t work out with Gu Sinian, I’ll help you find someone reliable!”
Qi Zhenzhen inexplicably felt wronged, her eyes turning red.
“Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? We were talking fine, why are you crying now?” Luo Wanqing hurriedly coaxed her. “If you have something to say, just say it. Once you say it, we can solve the problem.”
“But I think I’ve fallen for him,” Qi Zhenzhen managed to say.
Luo Wanqing blinked. So, this girl had fallen for Gu Sinian, and they had an agreement for mutual benefit. Now that she knew her own feelings, she felt her affection was unrequited, and that’s why she was upset? Judging from what the girl said, she didn’t have any particular thoughts about Gu Sinian at first.
How should she comfort her?
Luo Wanqing was also a bit confused about what Gu Sinian was up to.
Based on her understanding of him, he wasn’t the type to joke about such things, and making such an agreement seemed too much effort. Her intuition told her that Gu Sinian definitely had ulterior motives.
“What’s wrong with liking someone? It’s not normal not to. Gu Sinian, that scoundrel, let’s not talk about his character for now, just his looks. In all of Da Feng and Nanchang, besides my Lu Chen, I haven’t seen any man as handsome as him. People are visual creatures; they are easily attracted to good looks,” Luo Wanqing said. “So, you don’t need to dwell on this; it’s perfectly normal! Back then, I was also captivated by Lu Chen’s looks.”
“But we are destined to…” Qi Zhenzhen said dejectedly.
“Liking men or women, I think it can be a phase. Take me, for example. For a while, I really liked girls and found boys annoying, but after that phase, I liked boys again. So, maybe when you had the agreement, he liked men, and now he likes women,” Luo Wanqing said. She wasn’t talking nonsense. For a period, she only liked her daughter and found sons extremely bothersome, but later, she realized her sons were actually quite well-behaved, and now she liked sons again.
Qi Zhenzhen felt that what Luo Wanqing said was a bit strange, but she didn’t know how to refute it.
“Alright, let’s not think about this. When it comes to feelings, let nature take its course. Like is like, and dislike is dislike,” Luo Wanqing patted Qi Zhenzhen’s shoulder. “As a modern person, you can’t be bothered by such things. Huh, where did this little dog come from?”
“Awooo.” The little wolf cub protested with its cry that it was a wolf, not a dog.
“This little dog is interesting; it even barks like a wolf,” Luo Wanqing said in surprise.
Qi Zhenzhen picked up the little wolf cub and stroked its head. “You’re actually wrong. It’s not a puppy; it’s a wolf cub. The sacred wolf of the wolf tribe gave it to me, telling me to keep it by my side.”
