Di Fuyi looked at her and slowly asked, "In fact, I am a little bit curious. Two of you have been accompanying each other for so many years. It's not strange for him to have fallen for you. Also, I can tell that you do care about him too. No rule forbids one to have a relationship with their apprentice. So why are you making things so difficult?"
Gu Xijiu frowned and answered impatiently, "I only see myself as his master; I do not feel anything else for him that a man and a woman in love would normally feel."
"What about me?" Di Fuyi suddenly asked.
"You…" Gu Xijiu furrowed her brows even more. "Is this wedding not an agreement between you and me?"
Di Fuyi's eyes were slightly darkened, but he refused to let the matter go. "I asked you about your feelings toward me. Is it even worse than what you feel for Fan Qianshi?"
Gu Xijiu was stunned. "You are not comparable to him..."
