Xu Weilai looked down and didn’t say a word.
Xiao Chun suddenly realized what she had said, and looked at her abashedly. “Weilai, I’m sorry! You know I don’t have a filter when I speak. I didn’t say that on purpose! I’ll punish myself by smacking my mouth!”
With that, she raised her hand and smacked her mouth a few times in succession.
Xu Weilai quickly caught her wrist to stop her when she saw that. “Enough. I’m fine. Besides, what you said is true.”
She knew that Xiao Chun was a very straightforward person, who often spoke whatever was on her mind. Xu Weilai had grown used to it a long time ago.
Hearing Xu Weilai say that, Xiao Chun released a sigh of relief. She picked up her goblet and took a sip of wine before saying, “I heard that your marriage was arranged by Grandpa. Since the beginning, you’d been dreaming of marrying Brother Gu. Now that your dream has come true, you must be feeling over the moon!”
A dream come true? Over the moon? Those words were like needles, piercing into Xu Weilai’s heart.
In the past, she had indeed dreamed of marrying Gu Yu and becoming his bride. But he hadn’t wanted her then!
In the present, while she no longer wanted to marry him, she had no choice but to.
This marriage wasn’t a dream come true at all, and she wasn’t over the moon, either. All she had received so far was Gu Yu’s coldness, mockery, humiliation, and degradation…
Xiao Chun watched as Xu Weilai maintained the bright smile on her face. However, after many years of close friends.h.i.+p, she could identify the bitterness in Xu Weilai’s smile.
Xiao Chun already had her answer even with Xu Weilai replying, and immediately kicked herself for her insensitivity!
She stretched out her hands and cupped Xu Weilai’s cheeks as she consoled her. “Weilai, Brother Yu is not a heartless person. There will come a day when he realizes how good you are to him. I believe that you’ll definitely be able to thaw his heart, just like you did back then!”
