Xiao Hezhen was stunned again for a while.
She slowly said, "I don't mind."
The three faint words, however, revealed to Wu Xufan her perfunctoriness.
Indeed.
How could Xiao Hezhen actually want him to stay?
It was merely out of courtesy that she spoke as such.
Wu Xufan remained silent and did not say much.
In front of Xiao Hezhen, he was accustomed to deceiving himself.
"I really don't mind, I'm even grateful," Xiao Hezhen seemed to see through Wu Xufan's thoughts.
Right.
Just now in the great hall, when her third brother mentioned Yuan Wenkang, she did feel a stir in her heart, thinking if Yuan Wenkang could stay by her side... but the next moment she stopped herself, she couldn't let romantic feelings delay important national affairs.
At this moment, with Wu Xufan asking her so suddenly, she naturally felt somewhat disappointed.
But reason told her, it was more appropriate for Wu Xufan to stay.
