Qi Chenxuan’s face immediately turned cold, giving me a sidelong glance: “Who allowed you to mention her?”
I said discontentedly: “If I don’t mention her, will she suddenly cease to exist? What are you going to do about the marriage alliance in three days?”
Qi Chenxuan involuntarily furrowed his brow, speaking seriously: “No matter what, I will absolutely not give up on you!”
Although I knew his actions might be irrational, a woman’s vanity still made me unable to suppress a delighted laugh: “So you’re planning to declare war on Jing Yue Kingdom for me?”
Qi Chenxuan raised an eyebrow slightly, giving me a sideways glance: “What? It seems like you really want a war between the two countries?”
I immediately wiped the smile off my face, denying: “No way, don’t talk nonsense!”
“I was just casually mentioning it, why are you so nervous?” Qi Chenxuan’s lips curved slightly, his deep eyes clearly showing a hint of interest.
I rolled my eyes, retorting unhappily: “I’m not nervous, I just don’t want to be misunderstood!”
Qi Chenxuan stared at me sharply, his eyes full of disbelief: “Dare you swear that you didn’t feel even the slightest bit of joy from my concern?”
I couldn’t help but guiltily avoid his gaze, responding weakly: “Why, why would I swear?”
Hearing this, Qi Chenxuan immediately became more triumphant, responding arrogantly: “If you don’t dare, it means you’re hiding something. Actually, you care about me too, right?”
“Hmph!”
I scoffed disdainfully: “You can keep comforting yourself. Even if I do care about you, I don’t care as much as you care about me. Don’t forget, it was someone who was begging me to stay yesterday…”
Now it was Qi Chenxuan’s turn to blush, refusing to admit: “Shameless woman, tell me, when did I ever beg you?”
I raised an eyebrow triumphantly, deliberately provoking: “Dare you say you didn’t say you love me yesterday? That you weren’t desperately trying to make me stay?”
“I…”
Qi Chenxuan was instantly speechless, glaring at me unwillingly: “Shameless woman, don’t get too pleased with yourself!”
Seeing his expression, I became even more delighted, feigning innocence: “No, I’m just stating the facts. Am I wrong?”
