How would this young woman, now all grown up, answer?
Lin Ruoxi gave Xue Rui a sweet smile and said in a light, cheerful tone, "I don't mind."
Gu Muxue was very kind to Xue Rui, and to her as well.
In the past, she had been afraid of being abandoned by Xue Rui, forced to accept sharing his love. Even though she was unhappy deep down, she never said a word.
But now, her feelings for Gu Muxue were more of gratitude, sympathy, and even compassion...
If it was in Xue Rui's nature to love two women, then she was willing to accept it.
But the other woman could only be Gu Muxue.
Xue Rui opened his arms, and Lin Ruoxi immediately took a step forward. He gently pulled her into an embrace, cradling her head. 'She's changed,' he thought, 'and yet, it's like she hasn't.'
The outcomes were often the same; it was just the process that had some minor differences.
In the past, Lin Ruoxi would have been naively forced to take the short end of the stick, or else been coaxed into it by him.
