After Song Xiwei finished speaking, she looked at Ao Qian cautiously, thinking that if Ao Qian really refused, then she would...
To everyone's surprise, Aoqian readily agreed, "Okay! Then you can arrange it for me."
When Song Xiwei went to find Xiao Guozi, she couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart.
Until she heard Xiaoguozi's surprised voice, "Really? Your Majesty really wants me to serve you closely?"
“He said he’d give it a try. If you do well, he should…” Song Xiwei hadn’t finished speaking when Xiao Guozi excitedly grabbed her hand. “Your Excellency Song, you’re such a kind person! You must have seen how I’ve been unsuccessfully pursuing the Emperor and put in a good word for me with him, right? Don’t worry, if I can really move the Emperor, I will never forget your kindness!”
"Hehehe, the focus now is on his injuries. Of course, I know you like him, and you will take good care of him. So, you go ahead, I won't go in and disturb you." Song Xiwei lingered outside the door; it would be inappropriate for her to go in any further.
Little Fruit happily pushed open the door and went inside.
For some reason, Song Xiwei felt incredibly heavy-hearted.
She wanted to leave, but it was as if her feet were stuck to something, and she couldn't take a single step.
I wonder what's happening inside...
Will things go smoothly for Xiaoguozi?
How long have you been inside?
She kept looking at that door.
Until the door opened, Little Fruit came out, covering her face and crying.
"Small……"
Song Xiwei was about to ask why she was crying when Xiao Guozi ignored her and ran away.
Song Xi was slightly taken aback, fearing something might have happened inside. She went in and saw Ao Qian leisurely drinking tea.
"Why, why did you make Xiaoguo cry?" Song Xi looked at Aoqian with confusion. Wasn't it Aoqian who wanted to try it himself?
Aoqian ignored her and continued to pour and drink tea slowly and methodically.
I've had three cups in a row.
Song Xiwei walked over and stopped Aoqian from pouring more tea.
"The tea's gone cold, don't drink too much at once," she cautioned.
Aoqian put down his teacup and looked at her calmly, "Coming to stand up for Xiaoguozi?"
"..." Song Xiwei was taken aback by the question, but she did need an excuse, otherwise how could she explain that Xiao Guozi had just stepped out and she had come in right behind her.
“I saw Xiaoguozi crying very sadly. Is there something she did wrong?” Song Xi asked cautiously.
Aoqian looked at her calmly without saying a word.
Song Xiwei felt uncomfortable under his gaze. "W-what's wrong?"
"She cried because of me," Aoqian admitted frankly.
Song Xi frowned slightly. "Didn't you want her to give it a try? If that's the case, why... make things difficult for her?"
"Is this making things difficult?" Ao Qian sighed softly. "If disliking something or not wanting to force yourself counts as making things difficult, then I suppose it is."
After saying that, Ao Qian asked Song Xiwei with a half-smile, "However, what I can confirm now is that I really don't like women. I really tried my best just now, but I'm sorry, I can't do it. So, why don't you try arranging a man for me?"
Song Xiwei: "!!!"
"Can you just arrange something like this casually? We brought Xiaoguozi in because she's one of us and we know her well, so it won't leak out. But if we arrange someone else, what if it gets out and people spread that you like men... Then the Demon Clan will be in chaos because of the issue of offspring..."
“Even at a time like this, you still think about the Demon Clan. You’re much more devoted than I am, the Demon Lord.” Ao Qian still spoke in that ambiguous, half-smiling tone.
Song Xiwei's lips moved slightly. She still felt that it was a real pity that such a handsome man as Aoqian could not carry on the family line. How handsome would the child born to someone as good-looking as him be?
Why don't you like women anymore...?
Song Xi sighed deeply, her voice filled with bitterness and resentment.
