Seeing the look in Chu Lian's eyes as he spoke, there was indeed a deep affection, he thought. This time Chu Lian really had developed true feelings, it was just...
The wife had said that Wang Xiangxiang didn't like Chu Lian, and he probably knew it, which was why he had just asked everyone to help him keep it a secret.
Chu Lian must be feeling even more heartache than he had at the time; at least he had kept his own wife by his side, but Wang Xiangxiang could leave at any moment.
He had to cheer him on, so he encouraged him by saying, "Brother Chu, you must work hard and strive to marry Miss Wang soon."
Chu Lian smiled awkwardly. He had thought the same that morning, but plans never keep up with changes. Though he had gained her ahead of time, he felt that the distance between them might only be growing.
