Shan Xiaoya looked at Man Hanting above, then at Hu Yannan beside her who seemed on edge. Shan Xiaoya stood up, raised her cup to Hu Yannan: “General, you haven’t touched anything all this time. I want to toast you; before toasting, I want to ask you something and hope you’ll tell me the real reason.” Hu Yannan glanced at Man Hanting and said thoughtfully: “Xiaoya, can we discuss this after we return to An City?”
Shan Xiaoya said wildly: “I don’t want to! Since you admit I’m a princess of Manyi Nation, you must explain here. Otherwise, I won’t go back to An City with you!” “Xiaoya! Don’t be so stubborn. When we return, I’ll definitely tell you the truth.” Shan Xiaoya pressed: “Do you know what I want to ask? Are you answering so quickly? Or are you guilty? Afraid I’ll expose something?”
Man Hanting waved his hand, and everyone withdrew. Only three people remained in the large banquet hall. Man Hanting came down, standing between Shan Xiaoya and Hu Yannan. “Xiaoya, you can ask me anything. I’ll be completely honest.”
Shan Xiaoya looked at Man Hanting’s smiling face. In a sweet voice, she said: “Imperial Brother! Are you really my imperial brother?” She lightly bumped her shoulder against his chest. Man Hanting was pleased, stroking where she had bumped.
He countered: “What do you think?” “I hope not!” Man Hanting happily said: “How clever! You are not my imperial sister.”
Shan Xiaoya’s expression changed instantly. She suddenly tensed her face and shouted at both of them: “Who am I exactly? Don’t hide it from me!” Hu Yannan frowned, emotionally saying: “No matter who you are, I still love you.” Man Hanting, not afraid to cause chaos, said: “Xiaoya, I love you too. If you agree, I’ll make you a concubine! Enjoy endless wealth and honor.”
Hu Yannan’s face turned ugly, possessively embracing Shan Xiaoya’s waist. “Xiaoya! Let’s go!” When Man Hanting heard he was leaving, his expression changed instantly. His eyes flickered, then suddenly he reached out to block Hu Yannan’s path. “Stop! Xiaoya hasn’t agreed to go with you. Leave her behind!”
