Yuan Zhao stared blankly at Rong Ruo, or rather, she was choked up and couldn't speak.
This was the first time she'd heard someone ask what kind of betrothal gifts were desired; Rong Ruo was truly...
Seeing the complicated look on her face, Rong Ruo raised an eyebrow, somewhat annoyed:
"Didn't you dislike any of the things I gave you before?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao was even more speechless.
This isn't a matter of liking or disliking; besides, how could she not like those things?
She's not stupid; she wouldn't go against money.
However, upon hearing Rong Ruo's words, she felt a strange sensation.
She never expected that Rong Ruo would think of this.
She couldn't help but ask:
"You'll give me whatever I like?"
She regretted it as soon as she said it.
What is she saying?
She and Rong Ruo were both well aware of their relationship; wouldn't her words lead to misunderstandings?
However, Rong Ruo didn't seem to think much of it, and only said:
"Anything in this world that you desire, I can obtain for you."
Despite his arrogant tone, Yuan Zhao's heart began to race.
She didn't know if Rong Ruo was just saying it casually, or if there was something else going on. He probably didn't even realize how ambiguous his words were.
She couldn't help but look at Rong Ruo. Rong Ruo seemed to realize something at this moment as well. He slightly avoided her gaze and added:
"However, don't go too far."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
For some reason, she felt a sudden urge to laugh.
"The betrothal gifts are up to you. If you don't know, go ask the Dowager Princess Chen."
As she spoke, a thought struck her, and she tentatively asked:
"I really didn't expect that you could actually persuade the Dowager Princess of Chen."
Rong Ruo glanced at her:
"Stop having those little schemes of yours."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
She felt that Rong Ruo was truly a contradiction.
I feel silly when it comes to social interactions, but I'm extremely sensitive in other areas.
He could tell at a glance what she wanted to find out.
However, after giving his warning, Rong Ruo still gave Yuan Zhao an answer:
"When I was a child, I often went to the Prince Chen's Mansion."
"Princess Consort Chen and Princess Dowager Chen have taken pity on me and have treated me well."
This was similar to what she had heard before, so Yuan Zhao didn't ask any further questions, only saying:
"No wonder."
Rong Ruo glanced at her again upon hearing this, and said calmly:
"From now on, just ask whatever you want to ask, no need to beat around the bush like this!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao's heart stirred:
"Anything is fine?"
Rong Ruo raised his eyelids and glanced at her:
"It's your business to ask, but whether I answer or not is my business."
Yuan Zhao: "..."
Rong Ruo did not linger; after talking with Yuan Zhao for a while, he left first.
Not long after he left, Yuan Gu came over and looked at Yuan Zhao with a complicated expression.
"Zhaozhao, although you are now considered engaged according to the imperial decree, we should still be more discreet."
When he returned today, he saw a figure leaving the general's mansion. He asked the people in the mansion, but no one noticed. Moreover, the direction was clearly Yuan Zhao's courtyard.
Therefore, he knew who the person was as soon as he thought about it.
Originally, Yuan Gu had some doubts about Yuan Zhao's words, thinking that she didn't really like Rong Ruo.
However, he has changed his mind today.
If these two really had no connection, Rong Ruo wouldn't have run away from here.
The two of them seem to be in a situation that resembles those who have secretly pledged their lives to each other.
If this person weren't Rong Ruo, he would naturally be happy to do it, but since this person happens to be Rong Ruo, Yuan Gu has no choice but to do this annoying thing.
Yuan Zhao knew his elder brother had misunderstood, and simply said:
"He came to ask about the betrothal gifts."
"Does that even need to be asked?"
The eldest brother of the Yuan family looked down on Rong Ruo more and more.
