Gu Xiaonuan lectured Li Lu a bit, but Li Lu didn't take her words to heart at all.
If Li Lu could be a little cautious of Han Ling'er, she'd suffer fewer losses in the future.
Han Ling'er has one very troublesome trait, and that is her persistence with Shu Yu.
What's it like to fall for a man who doesn't love you? Gu Xiaonuan couldn't understand this feeling of unrequited love better than Han Ling'er.
Precisely because she understands, she knows Han Ling'er won't let go of Shu Yu.
Unless she really encounters a situation that forces her to let go, why would she give up on someone she's been committed to for so many years?
Gu Xiaonuan had no choice but to give up. If there was even the slightest possibility with Gu Xijue, if she and Si Yuchen hadn't had a child, she would have kept holding on.
Until Gu Xijue turned back, until Gu Xijue acknowledged her existence, acknowledged her efforts for him, and accepted her feelings.
