The hand gripping Harigana's shoulder paused: "But Jiaojiao, I want you to really love me. I'm being greedy."

She pulled him into her arms and said in a trembling voice, "Just as you said back then, there is no one between you and Abu. You belong to each other completely. You also want a man who has your heart and eyes full of you."

Now, I want your heart to be filled only with me, and only with me.

Harigana was actually quite shocked; did he really like it that much?

Over the course of ten years, she has always been weighing the results, focusing only on the outcome and disregarding the process.

As long as the result is what she wants, she will endure any grievances or sadness along the way.

What about now?

Should I continue to weigh the options, or live the way I like?

Perhaps not hearing her reply, Kangxi slowly loosened his grip on her, his eyes slightly red as he looked at her: "It's alright, perhaps I haven't done enough. I'll wait for you."

Harigana didn't let him continue, grabbed his collar, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him directly.

Since he's found out, I'll just live as I please from now on.

“Aisin Gioro Xuanye, listen to me carefully.”

She gave him a light kiss and took a step back before he could react: "First of all, it's not that I don't like you, it's that I'm afraid to."

Even if I were the empress, I would still not dare to do so, even if you were the emperor.

Because you have power and influence, you can change your mind whenever you want, and no one dares to contradict your decision.

Kangxi wanted to speak, but Harigana's look silenced him.
