Xiao Changqi raised an eyebrow: "You're clearly... what?"
On New Year's Day, he vaguely said, "I clearly... I really like birds."
Xiao Changqi had a feeling that this wasn't what the girl meant to say, but Yuan Dan's calm demeanor showed no sign of lying.
Actually, I felt incredibly guilty on New Year's Day. I secretly glanced at the man and only breathed a sigh of relief when I realized he didn't seem to have heard what I said clearly.
"Your Highness, may I see the little bird?" Yuan Dan asked tentatively.
Xiao Changqi's piercing gaze swept across her face like a cold winter wind, and then he nodded with a gloomy expression: "Mm."
The guards made way as instructed, and Yuan Dan immediately stepped forward, bent down, and touched the bird's heart.
The bird was being held in the man's hands, so Yuandan had to get close to the man to see the bird clearly.
The girl's stunning profile was right before Xiao Changqi's eyes, surrounded by a faint floral fragrance that carried a captivating allure.
Xiao Changqi looked coldly at the girl's pink lips, his eyes darkening.
At this moment, the girl suddenly raised her head and said seriously, "Your Highness, do you believe me?"
Xiao Changqi's expression remained unchanged: "What do you mean?"
“If you trust me, then entrust the little bird to my care.” Without giving the man a chance to refuse, Yuan Dan continued, “I know you may not feel comfortable leaving the little bird in the Prime Minister’s residence, so if you agree, I can go to the Prince’s residence to take care of the little bird.”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Master Yuan was the first to disagree when he heard her words. "What kind of behavior is it for an unmarried young lady to live in a prince's mansion?"
Ignoring the cheap father of this body, Yuan Dan boldly stared directly at Xiao Changqi.
It seems she only listens to Xiao Changqi.
"Yuan Yuan, stop fooling around." Yuan Qing, who had just arrived, happened to hear what Yuan Dan said and disapproved in a low voice.
Yuan Dan brushed Yuan Qing's hand away and looked at Xiao Changqi with a serious expression, saying, "Your Highness, can I trust you?"
Can even birds trust you?
Xiao Changqi frowned slightly, then said calmly, "Okay."
"I have something I'd like to say to you privately."
"New Year's Day!" Master Yuan Er was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.
If word got out that a man and a woman were alone together in a room, what face would the Yuan family have left?
Ignoring the roar of Master Yuan, Yuan Dan looked intently at Xiao Changqi and said, "Your Highness."
Xiao Changqi hesitated, a dark glint flashing in his phoenix eyes: "Aren't you afraid?"
“I’ve done nothing wrong on New Year’s Day, so what’s there to be afraid of?” New Year’s Day said casually.
She paused for a moment, then glanced at Master Yuan with a flippant look: "Father, you should really stand up for your daughter and find the culprit who caused her to fall from her horse and get injured."
Master Yuan glared at her angrily: "What murderer? You've already embarrassed yourself enough by accidentally falling off your horse. Do you want to make it public knowledge and ruin your reputation?"
"Father, you don't need to threaten me. My reputation is no longer important to me. At worst, I will remain unmarried for life." Yuan Dan's words were absolutely from the bottom of her heart.
She certainly didn't want to marry a man with three wives and four concubines. Finding someone in this world to spend her life with for one's entire life was easier said than done.
In the original story, apart from the male protagonist who only married the female protagonist and Xiao Changqi who never married, most of the other characters took concubines to some extent.
etc……
Did Xiao Changqi remain unmarried throughout his life?
Depend on!
How could she forget that His Majesty the Tyrant is impotent?
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Dan's gaze towards the man became exceptionally bright, like fallen stars.
Xiao Changqi frowned: "..."
Why did the girl's eyes look so familiar to him?
