Gu Qingyuan did not receive Shen Biran's forgiveness, which is the biggest issue.
Not only did he not get forgiven, but the situation became even more complicated.
Gu Qingyuan thought Shen Biran had her reasons for not wanting to forgive him.
After having done so many hurtful things, how could he possibly hope for her forgiveness?
Now that he has a plan and intends to work hard on it, this step becomes essential.
Gu Qingyuan also thought, it's okay if forgiveness doesn't come now, there's always the future. As long as forgiveness is possible later, what can't be said?
As for Gu Xiaonuan, convincing her would be much easier than Shen Biran.
The harm Shen Biran suffered was several times more than Gu Xiaonuan's. If Shen Biran refuses to forgive him, he has nothing else to say.
After all, he truly did very excessive things, and by doing so, he caused considerable problems.
