Song Ling hesitated for a moment, his gaze shifting to Gu Dai, then closing his eyes, he made a resolute decision. "Of course!"
Jiang Yue's smile curled up, but the thought that Song Ling agreed only because of Gu Dai left her deeply unsatisfied. She lowered her eyes, her voice chilling, "Are you willing to sacrifice so much just to save Gu Dai?"
Song Ling, fearing Jiang Yue's emotions might escalate further, quickly replied, "No, not because of Gu Dai."
Jiang Yue pressed, "Then why?"
After a moment of thought, Song Ling found an excuse, "You saved my life twice. You are my savior, and it's only right that I marry you in return."
He had hoped this explanation would appease Jiang Yue and spare Gu Dai, but her expression grew colder.
Jiang Yue's demeanor turned maniacal, "But it wasn't me who saved you those years ago. I just took credit for someone else's deed. Knowing the truth now, will you still marry me?"
