He took a sip, then put it down, his gaze unconsciously drifting downwards again.
"Sigh, who was it that told me to stay away from her in the first place, and even said she wasn't a good girl?"
"Did you say those things to me on purpose? And why do I feel like it's you who's in love with me now?"
Huo Yan chuckled self-deprecatingly, "This little girl is too hard to tame. It's not that I don't want to give her a title, but she simply doesn't care to be my concubine."
