"I..." Gu Mian was at a loss for words by the retort. After a brief pause, she replied seriously and solemnly, "Professor Nangong, weren’t we supposed to keep our marriage a secret? Going around telling everyone you meet, is that really okay?"
"These people don’t matter. So what if they know we’re married?" Nangong Yue raised an eyebrow and looked at her, asking back, "If these unimportant people try to bully you, shouldn’t I stand up for you as your husband? Our agreement was to keep it secret from family, right? Because family won’t bully you, so I don’t need to reveal my identity. But outsiders, those unimportant people, don’t matter. Or do you care a lot about their opinions?"
"I..." Gu Mian almost wanted to cover her face.
"Do all you professors know how to talk like this?" Gu Mian was on the verge of a breakdown, feeling like Professor Nangong’s logic was as deep as an abyss, so deep that once fallen in, there’s no hope of climbing out.
"Not really." Nangong Yue replied earnestly, "It’s not that I’m good with words, it’s that you have no point, so you can’t answer."
Gu Mian: "..."
Though she was a bit upset and frustrated, she had to admit Nangong Yue was speaking the truth.
Gu Mian pouted, finally nodding, "Yes, you’re right, but..."
"But you’re unhappy, right? Because I refuted you." Nangong Yue laughed, suddenly freeing a hand to hold hers, immediately guessing what was on her mind.
Gu Mian raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked at him.
"So I’m apologizing to you now." Nangong Yue smiled even more gently, naturally lifting Gu Mian’s hand to his lips and giving it a kiss.
Gu Mian was stunned.
