"Then tell me, what do you want?"

"I am not dissatisfied; Your Majesty is overthinking it."

Jiang Tian's smile widened, and she even boldly hooked her arm around Xuan Yuan Ye's neck, not wanting him to continue the conversation on this topic.

Xuanyuan Ye was still angry, but his anger subsided after Jiang Tian kissed him on the lips.

He wasn't stupid; he could tell that Jiang Tian still didn't have romantic feelings for him.

He had considered this possibility when he was in a superior position forcing her to submit.

But at that time, he was only after her body; he didn't care what she thought.

He didn't care how she lived her life.

Once that passion fades, he can quickly abandon her, settle her affairs for the rest of her life, and never see her again.

He is naturally cold-hearted and won't stay with anyone for long.

But things are different now.

He found himself becoming increasingly attached to this woman; the slightest movement she made would make him uneasy.

He changed, but Jiang Tian did not.

She seemed ready to leave at any moment.

Xuanyuan Ye couldn't quite describe the emotions he was feeling.

He admires insightful people, regardless of gender.

But since this person understands him so well, he can't be happy.

Continuing to talk won't lead to anything.

Xuanyuan Ye wrapped his arms around her and pinned her to the bed.

He took out the things Liu Wensheng had prepared for him...

He was ruthless that night.

Anger and unease made him ruthless.

Besides, she was so proactive...

Before leaving, Xuanyuan Ye whispered his true feelings in her ear.

"Giving you a title is something I decided long ago, so you don't need to refuse."

"Whether you want to leave the palace or not, it's safer for you than if I were protecting you."

"You probably don't know, but your brother sent two waves of assassins to kill you. He's even more anxious than I am; the murder of a princess is the perfect excuse to start a rebellion."

Seeing Jiang Tian's expression change slightly, Xuan Yuan Ye continued, "After some time, I will allow you to change your appearance and re-enter the palace."

"If you wish to have a child in the future... I can give it to you."
