Had Gu Mian fallen in love with him that long ago?
He had thought that her love for him began after they were married.
"Grandma, don't morally kidnap my brother on Gu Mian's behalf," Li Xingze spoke up, "Some people look at dogs with deep affection. Gu Mian's eyes always sparkle; I bet it's that kind of look."
Old Madam Li glanced at him, "The way Mian looks at you is like looking at a dog, with not a bit of affection."
"...Grandma, how can you insult people like that!"
"I am insulting you, you ingrate!" Old Madam Li said, "Wasn't your sister-in-law nice to you? When she first came into our family, you deliberately made things difficult for her, making her prepare breakfast. She had to get up at five o'clock every morning. If it were someone else, who would bother with you? Your mom never made you breakfast at five in the morning! And there you were, siding with outsiders to bully her, you heartless ingrate!"
"..."
Li Xingze recalled that indeed that was true.
