2902 The Proposal (2/2)

Gu Xijiu could not agree more. Most emperors from the mundane world had been doing the same for years. \”I see,\” she answered, seemingly with a clear understanding of the situation now.

Meng Wuya was at a loss for words. Her calm response certainly came as a surprise to him. He actually thought she would be devastated or even overwhelmed with a sense of outrage. Neither happened. She only seemed enlightened.

\”Aren't you jealous?\” Meng Wuya studied her expression intently.

Frankly, she did not even know what jealousy felt like. If anything, she just felt slightly uncomfortable. Therefore, she dismissed his concern right away. \”No.\”

Meng Wuya got the hint. \”It seems that you do not really love him.\”

Indeed, there was no love. It was just a show, one which was about to be discontinued. In fact, she was already looking for someone else to take the role. Quietly, she had studied Meng Wuya while listing down his strengths. He was capable, good-looking, and very charming. He had fulfilled all the qualities to be her next candidate, except for his lack of sincerity. His heart was obviously not in the right place, to begin with.

Having him around would possibly cause her more problems. Nevertheless, she still stuck around as she had not found out what he wanted.

\”It does not matter if I love him or not. As you said, men are all the same. It is a fact that I cannot change,\” she answered while keeping her eyes away.

\”No, you have a choice!\” Meng Wuya exclaimed excitedly.

\”Hmm?\”

\”Not all men like the custom of having more than one wife.\”
