Shao Wenbo returned to his manor feeling conflicted about his choice. He certainly did not regret accepting the arranged marriage with the Left Prime Minister's daughter. It will be good for advancing his career and allowing him to better build up his own base and influence. Based on what the crown prince said about Miss Xie, she seemed to be a talented and beautiful young woman. Shao Wenbo was sure that they could live in harmony, at the very least. He will treat her well, and perhaps they will eventually fall in love—even if he still didn't quite understand what loving someone was like.
The only thing that made him feel guilty was Wang Jingyuan. How was he going to break the news to her? He already felt bad about not being able to spend time with her as much as both of them would like, and now he was going to be engaged to another girl. It would seem like he was betraying her. She would be hurt, and it would be his fault. Shao Wenbo did not like being at fault.
