Gu Lili stood up and walked to Gu Xichen, her bright and charming eyes meeting his, "Before our engagement was called off, I followed my master's words and saw you as someone I could rely on in the future. After the engagement was called off, I didn't ask for my master's permission to comply with your wish to break it off. I thought I could be completely unrelated to you, but it seems that my thoughts at each stage were different. Later, I thought, my master adopted me, raised me, taught me to read, write, and practice martial arts. You are her only blood relative, and I believe, to her, both of us are the same, people she loves. Then you changed your attitude towards me, and I also decided to get along with you properly. You said that I am your only family, Xichen, me too, you are my only family now. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Gu Xichen looked into her eyes, how could he not understand her meaning? She was only willing to be his family, but only as family.
