"Is Your Highness feeling any better today?" Wan Ge's voice was very soft and gentle, seemingly quite different from before.
Hearing her voice, Li Xing felt his heart melt, but... [Why is my wife still calling me Your Highness? I really want to hear her call me by my name. I really want to be close to her.]
Thinking of this, Li Xing pretended to cough a few times, but still maintained an expression on his face to keep his image intact.
"Is Your Highness still feeling unwell? Has the doctor examined you? The internal injuries caused by excessive use of your powers could be quite serious. Perhaps we should postpone our marriage..."
"What did you say?" Li Xing's face and eyes instantly darkened.
“Your Highness was injured because of me. Perhaps we shouldn’t have been together, so Your Highness wouldn’t have gotten hurt. I know that if it weren’t for the engagement, Your Highness wouldn’t have needed to go to help. Your Highness probably came because of our engagement and didn’t want others to think that our marriage was just a simple alliance. I’ve dragged Your Highness into this mess. Perhaps we should call off this marriage.”
What?! My wife wants to break off our engagement?! Waaaaah! I'm not breaking off this engagement! I'd rather die than do it. Don't even think about it.
What went wrong? How did we end up breaking off the engagement? My wife isn't really going to call off the engagement, is she? I'm definitely not going to break off the engagement with her. Break off the engagement? No way!
"Your Highness? Your Highness?"
Li Xing finally snapped out of his daze at his call, looked at Wan Ge in front of him, and answered everything: "It's alright, there's no need to annul the engagement."
"If you want to break off the engagement, then kill me and take my corpse with you. As long as I'm alive, there's no way we can break off the engagement."
Wan Ge almost couldn't help but laugh, still looking conflicted: "But..."
“Going to provide support is what I should do, and my mother also wants me to get some experience. It has nothing to do with you, so you don’t need to overthink it.”
If she hadn't chatted with the Queen, Wange would almost have believed it. How could he say such a thing so seriously? His heart and his mouth are not the same person.
To be honest, Wan Ge was also puzzled. Why was he being so contradictory? What was the reason behind his behavior? And what was he trying to do?
In this world, he doesn't know how to coax his wife. Wan Ge is curious to see what he plans to do next.
Will things continue like this even after marriage?
"Since Your Highness has said so, then let's not back out. It will save me the trouble of finding someone else. We can continue the engagement ceremony once Your Highness has recovered."
"That's more like it, wait a minute! What did my wife just say? She said it would save her from finding someone else? What does 'save her from finding someone else' mean? Does that mean if he just agreed to call off the engagement, she could go find someone else right after? How could she do that?"
My wife doesn't love me; she has no feelings for me. She doesn't care who my marriage partner is; I'm just a tool for her.
No! Even if it means being my wife's tool, I'll still do it.
…
Just when everyone thought that Li Xing was seriously injured and might need to rest for a long time, he soon appeared in front of everyone and announced that his engagement ceremony with Wan Ge would be held soon.
Everyone was overjoyed to see that His Highness was safe and sound; they were so relieved that he was unharmed, as he had almost scared them to death.
After all, His Highness is the only heir. What if something unfortunate happens to His Highness?
Of course, the marriage between the two families remains a hot topic, with many still praising them as a perfect match.
...
Li Xing was overjoyed to see this type of comment.
He said that he and his wife were a match made in heaven, and if his wife left him for someone else, no one would be as compatible as them. Therefore, he should be his wife's only choice.
Of course, Li Xing also investigated various families, as well as young masters of Wan Ge's age. In doing so, he discovered quite a few things.
Li Xing became depressed again after seeing this, because he realized that many people seemed to have a good relationship with his future wife, while he, as her official fiancé, had had very little contact with her before.
Li Xing tried to comfort himself, saying it was okay since his wife would be his alone in the future, but he couldn't help feeling resentful and started to sulk.
When the Queen appeared before him, Li Xing regained his usual demeanor: "Mother, what brings you here at this hour?"
Don't come looking for me. I'm so annoyed right now. How come my wife has so many backup options?
"What's wrong with you? You seem a little unhappy."
Li Xing snorted softly. How could he be happy? "What exactly does Mother want?"
Li Xing's tone wasn't impatient, but she seemed much happier than usual.
The Queen showed no sign of anger, and simply replied gently, "I have already made preparations for the engagement banquet, and I have also discussed the other issues with General Luo. Now, I'd like you to see if there is anything that needs to be changed?"
When the Queen finished speaking, she could clearly feel that her son was happy again, simply because he could finally hold an engagement banquet with Wan Ge, and announce it openly and legitimately.
If anyone tries to get close to his wife in the future, they'll have to remember that he's already engaged and is going to marry her.
Li Xing quickly took a look. Many things had been discussed beforehand, and now they had basically done everything. They lacked nothing and just needed to wait for the right time to announce his marriage to the entire intergalactic world.
…
This time, the Queen didn't want to continue pretending to go into the pool. Looking at her happy, silly son, she said, "You really like General Luo, don't you? Why? You two haven't had much contact before, so why have you suddenly fallen for her? And why are you protecting her in every way?"
"There aren't that many reasons to like someone. I just like her. I liked her the first time I saw her."
That one glimpse in the palace was an unforgettable moment for him.
Li Xing knew very well that his mother had already figured it out, so he saw no need to hide it any longer and told her the truth.
"If you like her, why do you pretend not to care when she gets close to you?"
"Mother, you don't understand, Wan Ge just likes it this way."
The Queen truly doesn't understand; she doesn't understand how General Luo could possibly like something like this.
General Luo isn't satisfied with his own behavior, so he needs to find someone similar to him?
Yes, for the Queen and most people, General Luo and the Prince are the same type of person: they rarely speak to strangers, are very capable, and are the kind of people who are ruthless but don't talk much.
"Are you sure she likes it this way? Are you really sure?"
