"Your Majesty, if you help me, I'll help you; if you don't help me, I'll still help you. After all, you're the Emperor. If you ever have trouble pursuing a girl, just tell me, and I'll help you make a decision." She patted his shoulder with a sense of loyalty.
Shang Xian's roguish demeanor made Dugu Qianchen start to withdraw into himself.
The empress is elegant and noble in public, but behind closed doors...
A chill ran down my spine.
"It's settled then. We can discuss things further. Go back to sleep early," Shang Xian waved to him from where she stood.
Dugu Qianchen took a few steps, then turned back and asked, "And you?"
Shang Xian pointed to the moon: "I'm admiring the moon, but I want to go home."
The more pitiful she sounds, the better, so that he might grant her an exception and allow her to leave the palace freely.
"It seems you haven't been to the Prime Minister's residence for a long time," Dugu Qianchen said, looking up at the full moon in the night sky with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, I want to go back," she said, leaning against a tree with one hand behind her head.
I want to go home...
She misses her father, mother, and Li Ci, who watched her grow up...
She didn't notice Dugu Qianchen's expression, and for a moment the atmosphere was heavy until a hand reached out beside her, at which point she looked down at what he was holding.
It was a jade pendant with a dragon carved on it. Shang Xian looked up at Dugu Qianchen and asked, "What is this?"
"Didn't you want to leave the palace?"
Shang Xian didn't stand on ceremony at all and accepted the gift directly: "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."
"Go back soon," Dugu Qianchen said goodbye before leaving.
After Dugu Qianchen's footsteps disappeared, she looked at the empty air in front of her and said, "You should have been here all along, right?"
She didn't have the new skills that Moxi had given her, but she just knew that Shenyi must be there.
Because he said he would wait for him.
Shen Yi, dressed in a white brocade robe, immediately appeared behind her.
"How did you know I was here?" Shen Yi leaned close to her ear, his voice low but with a hint of amusement.
She felt a tingling sensation in her ear; was he really that good at flirting?
"Ayi, has anyone ever told you not to talk in someone of the opposite sex's ear?" she chuckled softly.
Shen Yi was startled.
Not a domineering CEO, but Ah Yi...
This was the second time she had called him that, and it didn't seem so bad.
"Are you dumbfounded?" Shang Xian pinched his cheek; his face was full of collagen, so cute!
"You'll drive me crazy sooner or later."
Shang Xian pretended not to understand: "Then you'd better watch out, you can't go crazy, I still want to be a freeloader."
"The moonlight is lovely tonight. Would you like to sit on the glazed tiles?" Shang Xian asked, tilting his head.
Shen Yi put his arm around her waist and leaped onto the rooftop. The two sat under the moon, surrounded by shadowy branches, their silhouettes hazy in the moonlight...
Shang Xian beside him fell silent, and a weight seemed to have settled on his shoulders.
Shen Yi's lips curled up slightly, but he was somewhat troubled. He was reflecting on whether Shang Xian's words were true, and whether he was the kind of person who easily developed feelings over time. Perhaps he already had the answer in his heart.
"Shang Xian, I want to go back and have a real relationship with you."
"With the intention of marriage"
"No one can stop it..."
Who could stop him from doing what he wanted? But later he discovered that someone had actually stopped him...
I kind of like you.
When did it start?
After spending a lot of time together, I was influenced by her personality. My curiosity about her gradually turned into attraction, and things naturally progressed to where they are today.
He was lucky to be with a girl who was so interesting and had such a captivating soul.
