1783 Darkness Dissipates; The King Returns (4)

After a long pause, Huo Mian slowly replied, "I'm sorry, Grandpa Su, my answer is going to disappoint you. The truth is, I believe that my husband is still alive and that he'll come back. I'm going to wait for him… Even if he is not coming back, I'm still going to live out the rest of my life alone, with the twins. I don't plan on remarrying. Qin Chu is the first man I ever loved, he's the first and the only love of my life, and I don't want to taint our relationship. I know I won't forget him, so if I marry Su Yu out of gratefulness, not only will I be doing myself wrong, I'll also be doing Su Yu wrong. He's such a good man, and he deserves a woman who loves him with all of her heart, not a woman who's in love with someone else. Grandpa Su, Su Yu is great to me, and I'll always remember how well your family treated me. If you guys need me, I'm willing to walk through fire for any one of you. However, I can't repay you by marrying Su Yu. I'm really sorry."
