Obviously, Lu Qi would not stop He Zhengbai from socializing with other girls.
However, she was very firm about one thing: her marriage with He Zhengbai must last.
She would not allow He Zhengbai to marry someone else.
He Zhengbai could hide their marriage and date other women to obtain certain benefits.
But she refused to divorce He Zhengbai and let him marry someone else.
The He family found Lu Qi's explanation believable.
After all, after Lu Qi was abandoned by Lu Qiyuan, she'd rushed to the He family for refuge. She had put her own mother in prison and used that as an exchange term, forcing He Zhengbai to register their marriage officially.
If Lu Qi were to be so quick to give up on He Zhengbai and even agree to divorce him, the He family would suspect her intentions and think that she had something bad in mind.
