"Lu You, from childhood to now, you've meddled in my affairs, whether they were good or bad. Of course, when I say this, I'm not complaining; I know you have my best interests at heart... Your concern for me is like that of Old Gu, a familial kind of concern, and you are the person I trust the most in this world. But this time, I hope, you can let me be willful just once... I'm quite interested in Yu Xiuli, and I have my own reasons, so please, don't interfere, okay?"
Gu Xia's entire appeal was tender, even carrying a softness akin to that of a mosquito's buzz.
She was afraid that Lu You might blow his top...
But unexpectedly, after hearing all this, Lu You was eerily calm.
That kind of calm was like the still before the storm.
Three seconds later, Lu You laughed, his smile tinged with desolation.
"Xiao Xia, are you saying that all these years, I've been meddling unnecessarily?"
