Gu Baichuan seemed impatient: "How would I know what she's really thinking! I bet she's using this as an excuse; she's probably wanted to divorce me a long time ago!"
Lu Beiyuan was surprised: "Why would you say that? You're both adults, and since you knew it was a marriage of convenience from the start, you shouldn't be this capricious."
Gu Baichuan didn't speak.
Lu Beiyuan asked again: "Do you know what kind of person she likes?"
Gu Baichuan shook his head.
Lu Beiyuan asked: "Have you never asked her?"
"She never asked me, so why should I ask her?"
It was unexpected to hear such words from the normally composed Gu Baichuan.
Lu Beiyuan smiled: "What are you getting mad about? In my opinion, if you like her, you should let her know, and since you're married, it's only right for you to fight for it."
Gu Baichuan remained silent, pouring himself another glass of wine.
