Yue Xiaoyang spoke kindly to Gong Xiaoyu, "I was afraid that if you knew I was better, you'd leave. I had no choice."
He held the back of her head and kissed her, "Xiao Yu, I want you to stay by my side forever, be my wife, the mother of our children, okay?"
Gong Xiaoyu couldn't find the words to refuse, "Aren't you afraid of marriage, Yue Xiaoyang? I don't want to be a woman without a proper status."
"How could I let you suffer that kind of grievance? If I'm with you, it will definitely be by getting married and legally uniting with you."
Gong Xiaoyu temporarily put down her grievances. They tidied up and went downstairs, with Gong Xiaoyu hiding behind Yue Xiaoyang, too embarrassed to face his mother.
Good girls don't stay overnight at a man's house for no reason. She knew that big families had many rules and was afraid his mother would think she was indiscreet.
