"He said he likes me," Dong Shanshan said. "Is he joking about this?"
Su Nanxing was shocked, "Why would you think that? How could it be a joke? He genuinely likes you!"
This time, it was Dong Shanshan's turn to be surprised.
Su Nanxing picked up on the meaning in Dong Shanshan's words, "He likes you… You don't believe it?"
Dong Shanshan couldn't possibly believe it.
They were originally a commercial marriage alliance. Gu Baichuan treated her politely without crossing any boundaries.
