He thought for a moment and added: "Fangzi is, after all, my mother’s niece, even if I don’t care about her, I have to consider my mother’s face."
Sang Wan was slightly stunned. Was he explaining this to her? Had she heard it wrong? Wasn’t Gu Fangzi the one he cherished in his heart? How could it be—

Were his words just an impulsive outburst or after careful deliberation? She didn’t want to think about it because she couldn’t guess nor prove anything.
