The matter of marrying Gu Ling, for the time being, had virtually no impact on Su Liang. During the journey, she would occasionally think of it as an amusing scenario, even treating it as a joke when brought up.
On the surface, it appeared the same for Gu Ling.
They had already had a strong understanding when they were together, and it remained so now.
In his heart, however, Gu Ling experienced an indescribable sense of satisfaction and joy. Even if Su Liang was his wife in name only, and they had yet to consummate their marriage, it didn't matter to him. What mattered was that he now had a legitimate reason to stay by Su Liang's side. Everything else could take its own course.
In the past, Gu Ling found it hard to understand the changes in his friends when they got married. Now, he understood, and it was wonderful.
To avoid assassination, they changed their appearances the day after they left the capital city, so much so that they looked like a pair of brothers.
