Li Yuan's heart sank once again.
A voice at the bottom of his heart was saying: If you're afraid she'll mind, why not just be my wife?
Of course, he didn't say this out loud but just offered a shallow smile, then straightened up, "I'll go get busy, you rest for a while, and I'll bring lunch over later."
"Okay!"
She nodded, completely oblivious to his occasionally forlorn expression.
Turning around and just about to reach the door, Li Yuan suddenly turned back, "Oh, this matter, apart from you and me, must not be told to a third party."
Huo Yishan was startled, "Not even Qiangwei?"
Li Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, staring at her, "No, not even her."
"But she's my best friend, I don't want to lie to her!"
"If Qiangwei finds out, then Jian will definitely know, and he will mock me."
She frowned skeptically, "Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"...Alright!" After some insistence, Huo Yishan finally agreed not to let a third party know.
