Fu Xifeng was their first choice

Old Madam Luo breathed a sigh of relief, her voice carrying a hint of reassurance. "That's a relief. For a moment, I feared the child was still in the dark. She's practically family to me; I treat her as my granddaughter. I'm delighted to hear that the two of you are friends."

It was then that Luo Zhelan realized Jiang Yue might not be aware of the family's previous attempts to pair him with Fu Xifeng, nor of Fu Xifeng's past pursuit of him.

He had never considered it important before.

Jiang Yue nodded thoughtfully. "Xifeng is easy to get along with. Without her, I doubt we would have become friends. She was persistent, yet never pushy."

Indeed, it was Fu Xifeng who always took the initiative between them, deepening their friendship. Jiang Yue was certain that without Fu Xifeng's efforts, they would remain strangers.
