As Gu Mohan piggybacked Tang Mo'er with steady footsteps, he listened to her helpless sobbing and softly placated her, "Mo'er, I won't get married to Lu Qi'er. I'll get the antidote from her, I promise."
Did he have a plan?
Tang Mo'er knew that if she made the choice to stay with him, she would place all the stress and burden on him. To be together, it would be an uphill battle for them.
But she didn't want to let go of him anymore.
"Mo'er, I'll be honest with you. When I got engaged to Lu Qi'er, yes, it's true that I wanted to keep if from you. Growing up, I've always learned to deal with matters like this. My father wasn't home most of the time, my mother is a… discontented woman. My grandfather only doted on me if I met his expectations. After all of these, I've become accustomed to being alone. This is how it always was. There was never anyone around to talk to, never anyone to share my burdens with and to lean on.
