"His Majesty the Emperor has just agreed to bestow a marriage upon you, and the imperial decree should be able to reach the Zuo Residence today," Gu Zhiqing said with a smile from outside the carriage. "I will go back and tell my mother later; she will probably be overjoyed."
Xiangning shook her head at Lingxiao, whose eyes were cold and sharp, pulled back the curtain, and asked Gu Zhiqing, "I am truly curious as to why you insist on marrying me. How many times have I told you that I do not like you at all? What exactly are you trying to achieve with this relentless pestering?"
"You don't like me because you don't know enough about me, and you don't know how much I truly like you. If you were to understand me properly, you would realize that only I can genuinely care for you and that only I can make you happy," Gu Zhiqing said confidently from outside. "I can give you everything you want, and also everything your family wants."
