"I don't need to understand you—I believe you. I know deep down, you care about me and don't truly believe I did this. So then, what is there to worry about?" Gu Qixiao believed that mutual understanding was the most important thing in any relationship. Since they trusted each other, there was no need for misunderstandings, which would only make the relationship smoother moving forward.
"If you started doubting me without a word at this moment, now *that* would be truly fatal." He had always been acutely aware of this, which is why such thoughts never crossed his mind.
"I'm really happy we can trust and understand each other. No matter what happens, we can face it together." Gu Qixiao stepped forward and gave her a gentle hug—not too tight, just a light touch before pulling away.
There were still unresolved issues between them, so for now, such restrained gestures would suffice.
