"Yes, I'm back."

Nian Gengyao looked at the girl he had been thinking about day and night, his eyes filled with longing and deep affection. After saying that, he suddenly reached out and hugged Baoer into his arms.

"You are finally mine, Bao Er. I am really happy. In fact, when I left, I thought I would never be able to have you again. I was really afraid that you would forget my existence after a long time."

When Baoer heard this, his body stiffened and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes.

She had indeed almost forgotten about Nian Gengyao, or rather, she hadn't thought of him since he left. So she was a little surprised and puzzled when she heard the emperor's decree.

Nian Gengyao felt Baoer's stiffness, and a hint of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

"Do you know how surprised I was when I received my brother's letter and saw that the emperor had granted us a marriage? I was surprised that you were not mine alone, but I was happy that the rest of my life would finally be closely intertwined with you."

He let go of Baoer and put his hands on Baoer's shoulders. He looked at Baoer with a firm and warm gaze. "So are you ready to accept me? Are you ready to accept me to participate in your life from now on?"

Baoer understood what he meant. She looked into his eyes, as fiery as molten lava. Anyone who saw them could sense the depth of love and unwavering determination within them.

Baoer only felt that her heart was also becoming unstable.

She slowed down, then nodded slowly, "Yes, I accept you." She had no choice but to accept it, after all, the marriage had been arranged, and she didn't hate him at all.

A hint of joy flashed across Nian Gengyao's heart. He understood that Bao'er just had a slight affection for him now.

He didn't blame Baoer, he only blamed himself for not confirming his feelings with Baoer at that time. He left for so long, but he believed that he would become the most important person in Baoer's heart in the future.

The Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, and the boy from the Tonggiya clan, all get out of the way.
