Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "I no longer expect him to understand the pain I went through. I just hope he can let go of himself and not live in agony all his life like I did. As a mother, why can't he, being so smart, understand my thoughts?"
Xia Yangyang also let out a heavy sigh, "Gu Zhaohan is just stubborn by nature, just like Gu Qichen."
Indeed, wasn't Gu Qichen of the same temperament?
