She ultimately still lacked the courage, and she felt too embarrassed to ask him such a question.
The man was heavily career-driven, filled with ambition.
Compared to his Huo empire, she was truly insignificant, much too small.
How could she ask him?
— If one day, you had to choose between me and your future career, whom would you pick?
Like that?
It really was quite a mundane thought!
She mumbled, "It's nothing."
Taking a deep breath, she decided to dismiss these trivial thoughts.
But perhaps, all women had these "trivial" thoughts, right?
Sometimes they wanted to ask their husbands, if I and your mother fell into the water, whom would you save?
Or whether it is me or your career that is more important to you… those sorts of capricious questions?
Yet in front of him, she became timid, not daring to ask.
If she didn't ask, she could still indulge in fantasies.
If she asked and his answer was not what she expected, wouldn't she just be upsetting herself?
