But Zhao Xin raised his hand to stop him.
I felt a little uneasy for a moment.
Seeing this, Zhao Xin said jokingly, "Alright, look how scared you are. Don't worry, I have no intentions towards you. I don't lack women."
Qiao Sanniang was speechless when she heard this. She was secretly amused and thought to herself, "Is this why I'm so scared? I'm just scared by your actions!"
Wow, you are the emperor of a country, but you actually pour wine for a little girl like me. This is much more frightening than wanting to sleep with me.
But she naturally didn't dare to say this out loud, and she didn't know what to say.
"Okay, I asked you to drink with me. How can you drink if you are so restrained?"
