She suddenly grabbed Dongfang Yu's arm, staring intently at him as she interrogated, "Swear that everything you've told me is true! You haven't deceived me?!"
Dongfang Yu's voice resonated, "It's true! I wouldn't lie about this. I originally didn't want to reveal this to you, but at this point, I need your cooperation."
"Cooperation? What do you want me to do?" Hai Xiaotang asked, perplexed.
"Stay obediently by my side! Be my wife!" This was Dongfang Yu's response.
Hai Xiaotang faltered, her heartbeat inexplicably..... skipping a beat.
However, upon hearing Dongfang Yu's next words, the sporadic flutter at the bottom of her heart was immediately extinguished.
"Only if you are my wife, they wouldn't dare to escalate matters and harm you. If you're unharmed, grandpa will be safe, understand?"
There was a flicker in Hai Xiaotang's eyes, "So until grandpa returns, I must cooperate with you?"
"Yes."
"...Alright, I will cooperate with you!" Hai Xiaotang nodded with conviction.
