Noticing that Gu Beicheng was staring at her without uttering a word, Lin Mingxi smiled awkwardly and said, "Why am I saying such nonsense when we haven't even started drinking yet? Silly me."
"Why did you marry Ye Xiaotian back then?"
Lin Mingxi was at a loss for how to explain. "When I was younger, I used to think that it'd be great to be the Young Madam of the Ye family. There were lots of things I wanted a few years ago. But as I grew older, I began to realize how important it is to find a man with whom I can hit it off and how difficult it is to find someone I truly fancy."
She could not find a man with whom she clicked, whereas he never had the chance to be with the person he adored.
Gu Beicheng had long buried his feelings for An Xiaoning deep within the labyrinth of his heart. If he didn't hope to start afresh with someone new, he wouldn't have agreed to meet Lin Mingxi at all.
"I understand," said Gu Beicheng.
