Zuo Xingyun didn't speak. She continued, "Actually, you and Xun Lu are quite suitable for each other. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like me; after all... we don't owe each other anything, and we can avoid any future contact. It would be good for you two to be together. You are also at the marriageable age..."
Xiang Wan's heart ached not for Xun Lu but for Zuo Xingyun. After so many years, he was still alone. The best arrangement for him later in life would probably be to have a confidante to spend his remaining years with. During his time in prison, Xun Lu had always watched over his company, dedicated entirely to him; she couldn't be more suitable.
She was willful but not heartless. Xiang Wan was well aware of how Zuo Xingyun treated her, and she hoped that he would have a good life in his later years, with someone by his side who would understand his needs.
Zuo Xingyun still didn't respond. Out of curiosity, she opened her eyes and met his gaze, which was desolate.
