Gu Xijiu almost burst out laughing. Without hesitation, she rejected the offer, "Thank you very much, My Lord, but I do not wish to pledge my life a mere flagon."
The Lord did not speak any further.
It seemed like her reply was within his expectations. He looked down and quietly took a sip of his tea.
Her heart skipped a beat upon hearing the offer - one that she had rejected it almost instantaneously.
She knew it very well that The Lord could easily make it happen. Even though Celestial Master Zuo did not approve of their marriage anymore, there was no way he could reject the offer if The Lord had made his decision.
However, she did not wish to make him agree under duress.
But, how did she come up with the word ‘under duress?
Was it because she actually wanted to marry him, at the bottom of her heart? She only rejected the offer because she did not wish to force him to the agreement.
Her hand froze whilst holding the cup of tea.
