A flicker of concern flashed in Su Shen's sharp black eyes. He wrapped his arms around his wife, telling her, "You're not foolish. Your innocence and kindness are what makes you capable of love."
Gong Zhan was her first love. A girl's love at her most innocent age must be genuine. Those who lack kindness can't experience true love. Even though Su Shen was somewhat jealous of Gong Zhan's place in his wife's heart, he didn't blame her. On the contrary, it made him cherish and love her more.
He couldn't imagine the pain and despair this girl must have felt when she had to leave the one she loved to marry him. Moreover, he was sure that Gu Zi was not the kind of woman who would linger over an ex-lover. At least, once she had decided to marry him, Gu Zi had stopped entangling herself with Gong Zhan. She had cleanly cut off all ties. Knowing she could do this, Su Shen deeply appreciated this girl's worth.
