His eyes were wet, like a puppy about to be abandoned, desperately trying to please its owner and get them to stay.

An extremely handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth looked up at the woman he loved, hoping only to win her favor for one night.

Even the hardest heart might be melted by him.

Jiang Tian remained silent for a moment.

Looking at her cold and indifferent eyes, Shen Yan felt even more pain in his heart.

He couldn't help but lower his eyes, trying to hide his sadness.

How could he be so impatient? How could that be? She's already said she doesn't like him anymore, why would she do something like this?

It was all just wishful thinking on his part.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Tian finally spoke: "I have witnessed the prince's sincerity. But you must understand that I am not a casual person when it comes to feelings. There was no hope between you and me, so why should I deliberately give you a deeper connection and make you even more unable to move on?"

"So please forgive me, I won't do it again."

Shen Yan's eyes quickly reddened. He tried to pretend he didn't care, but his voice choked up: "...I know, I know. I acted impulsively just now. Please, please just pretend you didn't hear it."

He looked so aggrieved, as if he was about to cry at any moment.

Such a young man, whose heart is completely devoted to her, showing such emotion, is truly enough to warm up a block of ice.

However, Jiang Tian remained unmoved. After a long while, she sighed softly, "Your Highness, please take a step forward."

Chen Yan didn't understand, but he still obediently walked forward.

Jiang Tian reached out his hand, stood on tiptoe, and touched the top of his head.

This is a kind of comfort that is purely gentle and contains no other meaning.

Jiang Tian said to him, "I have only my sincerest wishes for you. How you live your life from now on depends on your own efforts. The people in front of you have paved the way for you, but you still have to walk the road behind you. I sincerely hope you will be well."

Shen Yan finally couldn't hold back his tears. He knew very well that Jiang Tian was already good enough.

For someone like him, even if he were kicked out, no one would object.

After all, he had feelings for someone who could act as his elder.

But Jiang Tian didn't kick him out. Instead, she tolerated him again and again, giving him countless chances, hoping he would figure things out on his own.

She did nothing wrong; it was all his fault.

Shen Yan smiled through her tears.

He was very serious, an attitude he never showed to others.

He said to Jiang Tian, ​​"Don't worry, I will live my life well."

He couldn't possibly hide his identity for Jiang Tian's sake.

Because she's right, he carries the burden of an entire family.

The predecessors have put in so much effort for this family, and he has enjoyed the best resources in this family for many years. If he were to give up the responsibilities he bears for a woman, then he would not be himself.

“I understand what you mean. I know you want me to find a good wife so that I can live a peaceful life in the future.”

"I don't know how to say this, but I can assure you that I will never mention my feelings for you to anyone again. If you ever need anything from me in the future, I will do my best to help you."

At this point, Shen Yan paused before saying, "As for my marriage, unless absolutely necessary, I will not marry any other woman. I know you may not believe it, after all, how long can a young man's feelings last?"
