Mei Gongxue had indeed never seen General Ji like this before. In her memory, he had always been silent, stubborn, and perhaps even a bit arrogant. She remembered when he first arrived at the Marquis Manor; he rarely spoke. Sometimes, when his older brothers bullied him while their father was away, he never complained, choosing only to work harder during martial arts training. He had been driven by a singular, intense desire to prove his worth.
But at this moment, he was acting completely out of character. The way he looked at her seemed to hold a kind of anticipation and longing, as if he were waiting for her to say something. Such a gaze made Mei Gongxue feel uneasy, and she had no interest in understanding it.
When she finally spoke, her tone was icy: "My marriage to Zhou Fu has already been finalized. General Ji, please conduct yourself with dignity."
