Gu Qingluan gathered her fallen hair to hide her uneasiness, saying, "Uncle Han, please don't joke. It's Xiaonan's first time going to the academy. It's better not to give him an exception."
Han smiled and gave her a deep look.
This girl seemed determined to marry only this man.
Well, if she insisted on it, he wouldn't interfere anymore. Pushing further would only make things worse.
He went along with it, "Let's do it another day then. Whenever you're ready, my place is open for you."
Gu Xiaonan, feeling a bit disappointed that he couldn't go now, wondered how long it would be until the next opportunity.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Gu Qingluan asked, "Uncle Han, you've been through a lot with us today. Shall I have someone prepare a room for you to rest?"
"I won't stay. The situation is settled, and I don't want to overstay my welcome. Goodbye, and perhaps we'll meet again someday!"
