"He did that because he loves you, you know, after getting pregnant one should be careful about such matters," Luo Xiaoqian urged.
"I know, but, last night I took the initiative, and he... he refused," Huangfu Ruo said with a defeated expression, "The Qin Lan from before wasn’t like this, he... he always wanted more from me. Xiao Qian, tell me, if a man loves a woman, would he refuse a woman who takes the initiative to make love to him?!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiaoqian was also startled, "I... I don’t know."
Huangfu Ruo turned her face toward her, "If it were Brother Zimo, would he refuse you?"
"This..." Luo Xiaoqian, recalling the affection from last night, gently shook her head, "He probably wouldn’t, but... that doesn’t mean anything, after all, you are getting married, Qin Lan is very busy, he might have matters to attend to... and..."
"I know you’re trying to comfort me." Huangfu Ruo looked in the direction of the river again, "I can feel it, he really doesn’t love me the same as before..."
Her voice trailed off, already full of melancholy.
"Ruoruo, don’t cry, how about this, when Zimo comes back, I’ll ask him. He and Qin Lan are so close, if there’s anything troubling Qin Lan, he would definitely know," Luo Xiaoqian suggested.
Huangfu Ruo thought for a moment and then gently nodded her head.
"Let’s go back then." Luo Xiaoqian helped her to stand, drying her tears, "I assure you, Qin Lan must have his reasons. You mustn’t cry, you know. Tomorrow is the big wedding day. If you swell up your eyes from crying, you might steal all the spotlight from me tomorrow, right?!"
"Dream on!" Huangfu Ruo nodded with a mix of laughing and crying, and Luo Xiaoqian helped her walk back to the castle.
As soon as they entered the hall, they saw someone laughing and rising from the couch, striding over.
"Ruoruo, congratulations!"
Luo Xiaoqian turned her face, her eyes meeting with the other’s, both of their complexions uncontrollably shifting.
