Of course, these all happen later.
Ignoring the soldier's looks, Gu Muqing continued, "I have seen you before, the way you looked at Xiaotian was the same way I used to look at my husband." Hearing this, Jing Tian couldn't help but frown.
What on earth was his aunt trying to say? She wasn't planning to use him to orchestrate this war, was she? The mere thought of it sent shivers down his spine.
"There were times when, I thought having a person so fond of Xiaotian could be a good thing, maybe one day, Xiaotian would bring you to us, and introduce you to our family," she said.
Hearing this, Mu Lin glanced amusingly at Jing Tian, who was making a bitter face. The meaning in his eyes was clear: so, you have this kind of taste! However, before Jing Tian could respond, his attention was back to Gu Muqing's ongoing speech.
Mu Lin intuitively felt that Gu Muqing's initial words were just a pretense for what she was going to say next.
As expected.
