"Commandery Princess," Tao Da blinked his eyes, which were like bronze bells, and said in a muffled voice, "What is wrong with me? I can change."
Jiang Shaohua, always patient with Tao Da, replied, "It's not that something's wrong with you; it's that Miss Kong doesn't want to get married. She doesn't want to marry you or anyone else. She just wants to be a teacher and work in the military camp, just like how you work as a trusted aide in the camp."
"If getting married meant sending you back home and staying indoors all day, would you still want to take a wife?"
This metaphor was simple and clear.
Tao Da immediately understood and said, "If I marry Miss Kong, I won't keep her at home. I'm happy she is a teacher."
"Miss Kong wants to make decisions for herself," Jiang Shaohua said warmly. "Think about it. If every time you came to the military camp, you needed your mother's approval, and she's in a bad mood and forbids you from coming, would you be happy living like that?"
