I don’t know if this is right or wrong. Perhaps the result will only be another heartbreak, but I have to admit, I’ve fallen in love with this man and am willing to bet on him once more!
I unconsciously stepped back, accidentally stepping on a stone, slipping, and falling heavily on the ground, looking utterly embarrassed!
Lan Qiye couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth, and said with a feigned hurt tone: “Does this king really seem so terrifying that you want to avoid me at all costs?”
I forced a smile, saying: “Your Highness is too serious, Ximo didn’t mean that!”
Lan Qiye gave me a sideways glance and said: “Since you didn’t mean anything, get up quickly! What if someone sees us and thinks I’m bullying you?”
I nodded dumbly and slowly crawled up from the ground.
Seeing me constantly holding my buttocks with a pained expression, Lan Qiye couldn’t help but ask: “Are you okay? Do you want to rest in the pavilion over there?”
“No, no need!”
I immediately shook my head and refused: “Let’s talk about the main issue. What would it take for you to cancel the marriage alliance?”
Lan Qiye finally put away his smile, looking serious: “Yan Ximo, do you really love that guy?”
I bit my lip and gently nodded: “Although I don’t want to admit it, feelings are something one can’t control. So, I’m really sorry!”
“Why are you apologizing?”
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lan Qiye’s handsome eyebrows, staring directly at me: “Is it because you’ve forgotten me, forgotten what I said before?”
This was the first time he used “I” instead of “this king” in front of me.
I opened my mouth, my eyes showing surprise, and then tentatively asked: “Do you… know me?” More accurately, do you know Yan Ximo!
Lan Qiye couldn’t help but shake his head, a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, speaking dejectedly: “I knew it. You heartless woman, you’ve actually forgotten me!”
Heavens! What is going on?
I had imagined many possibilities about how to handle meeting someone from my past, but I never thought it would be him – the lord of a neighboring country.
