81 Not being Affectionate to anyone

Han Wenji was not amused to hear the answer of his son. "Sheng Li, then why did you used to say to me that you love the Prime Minister's daughter? You are confused in yourself," Han Wenji proclaimed. 

Sheng Li had a serious expression on his face. "Father, I will be truthful to you. I did not want to marry in the first place. I feel if I lie to the father, then he might stop my marriage. I tried the same with Ying Lili, but it did not bother her, which was satisfying for me. Xue used to care for me despite my nature. That's what I always liked about her. I thought about marrying her for that same reason until I found out that she is power-hungry like her father. To tell you the truth, I do not know what love is! I just know it makes people weak and sad," Sheng Li told his father with a chuckle.
