In the past, Gu Jiangnian couldn't understand what his friend meant by this saying.
But now, he could.
Jiang Muwan, even when she had developed a dependency on him and felt that their marriage was viable, was reluctant to open her heart and tell the truth.

Jiang Muwan could allow her feelings to arise without a sound, and just as quietly make them disappear.
A woman who is excessively rational will be extremely cautious about something as unpredictable as feelings.
And Jiang Muwan was just that kind of person.
