Was it really as the aunt said, that Hai Lan and Dongfang Yu had an arranged marriage?
But since Hai Lan has gone missing, was she supposed to replace her?
Hai Zhiyuan sighed, "Xiaotang, do not overthink this. You'd marry him only if you want to."
"But Dongfang Yu didn't want to marry me back then!"
Hai Xiaotang was not a fool; she almost understood everything.
"Grandfather, just as aunt said, am I a substitute for Hai Lan?"
"Nonsense, how could you possibly be a substitute!" The old man responded discontentedly, "It was you who wanted to marry him, and I agreed."
Hai Xiaotang replied with a faint smile, "Grandfather, I understand it now. The reason Dongfang Yu agreed to marry me in the first place was not just because of our relationship, but also the marriage agreement between the two families, right? It's no wonder I've always been curious why he agreed so easily to marry me…"
