Chapter 10: Falling in Love（1 / 3）

Unfortunately, Zhang Guoying was mistaken. Cui Yu was devoted to devising strategies and safeguarding her family, the Cui Clan, just like her aunt had done. The more intelligent a woman was, the more challenging it was for her to fall in love, as she perceived everything too clearly, constantly weighing the pros and cons, discerning cause and effect, and analyzing the logic.

Did he want her to go to Liangzhou with him so she could become his wife? Was he proposing marriage?

要自己和他一起去凉州，是想要让自己做他的妻子，要娶自己的意思吗？

She couldn''t ask, nor was it appropriate to, and even less so to insist. His body''s automatic response would
