Si Yuchen didn't force Gu Xiaonuan to make a decision, no matter what Gu Xiaonuan's final decision may be, Si Yuchen would respect her.
The hope in Si Yuchen's heart was that Gu Xiaonuan would stay, a subconscious wish so deeply ingrained that even he couldn't have imagined it.
When did the impression of Gu Xiaonuan in his heart change, when did his feelings for Gu Xiaonuan start to transform?
Gu Xiaonuan was no longer the pawn he manipulated; after using her, he wasn't compelled to discard her.

Si Yuchen forced a bitter smile; his grandfather actually wanted to use his son to save his brother.
