"What's your reason for agreeing?" Su Qing countered him.
Gu Ran didn't mind Su Qing knowing about the 'Black Dragon Dream', but Zhuang Jing preferred to keep it between the two of them, so he cooperated by remaining silent.
"You know, I can't refuse your mother's request," he said.
"If she asked you to die, would you?"
"I don't think she'd bear to ask," Gu Ran replied.
"Can't bear to..." Su Qing sighed helplessly.
"Do you admit it?" Gu Ran smiled.
"...I admit. What else can I do?" Su Qing responded.
She knew her mother loved her more, but that was exactly why she recognized how much Zhuang Jing loved Gu Ran.
After all, she had introduced her beloved daughter to Gu Ran!
"I want to hear your thoughts," Gu Ran said, "If you don't wish for it, I'll reject Mrs. Jing's proposal."
"You decide on your own," Su Qing responded.
Gu Ran glanced at her, while Su Qing stared out the window.
