The look in Sun Jiaming's eyes changed. He didn't know what his mother was thinking, but her expression sent a chill down his spine.
'As her son, have I been blinded by affection all this time? Do I really not know my own mother at all?'
In the end, however, thanks to Sun Jiaming's persistence, Cao Qiu agreed to drop the matter between him and Zhou Mei.
However, Cao Qiu didn't give her blessing for him and Gu'er. She said that since Gu'er had just gone through an incident, it wasn't a good time to bring it up. They should wait. She wanted to first see if Gu'er was truly a good person before discussing it further.
Sun Jiaming didn't say much more. He knew it was impossible to get his mom to agree right now, but as long as he persisted and was sincere, he believed she would eventually come around.
'And then there's Gu'er. I have to find some time to ask her, too. If Gu'er doesn't have feelings for me, then…'
