Perhaps aware of Gu Shengyin’s boundaries, Long Xiao did not directly embrace her.
He simply stood tightly behind her, their bodies not touching, yet they were so close that Gu Shengyin could even feel his breath when he spoke brushing against her ear.
Gu Shengyin remained silent.
Long Xiao seemingly did not anticipate her response either.
He spoke to himself: "Since the last ti we t and I returned to Heavenly Dragon, I have been longing for Bao Chan every day."
Gu Shengyin pursed her lips and said nothing.
Long Xiao continued: "After gaining control over the Dynasty’s affairs, I imdiately decided to embark on a diplomatic mission to Da Qing."
"All the ministers tried to stop , saying this move was too rash and dangerous, but I insisted on coming."
"Because I wanted to see you, and just as I said, in our next eting, tell you my true na."
"My na is Long Xiao."
Gu Shengyin quietly listened to his words, then suddenly asked: "Have you thought about it, what if I don’t agree to your proposal, or if I already have soone I like?"
Long Xiao paused for a mont before saying, "I have enough confidence, the betrothal gifts I offer, no country could refuse."
Gu Shengyin was silent.
Indeed, the two gifts Long Xiao offered as the betrothal were invaluable.
Not to ntion her as an Eldest Princess, even ten princesses couldn’t match their worth.
"If truly rejected..." Long Xiao paused.
"Then I’ll beco a thief, and take my Empress back!"
Gu Shengyin raised her head because of this statent, she truly hadn’t expected Long Xiao to say such a thing.
"Don’t joke around."
Long Xiao simply smiled but said nothing.
He had ntioned before that he would never lie to her or joke in front of her.
If Da Qing truly refused to marry off the Eldest Princess to Heavenly Dragon, he really might resort to force to resolve the issue.
"It’s getting late, you should go back." Gu Shengyin suddenly said.
Long Xiao felt a bit reluctant, but he also knew it wasn’t appropriate for him to stay too long.
He was about to leave, when suddenly his eyes froze, as if he had seen sothing unbelievable.
Gu Shengyin didn’t hear a reply, turned around in confusion.
Then she noticed sothing on her neck had moved, and a jade pendant hidden under the outer robe was drawn out.
Long Xiao’s eyes instantly filled with joy, his eyes were bright as he looked at Gu Shengyin.
"Bao Chan, you’ve... always worn it on you?"
Gu Shengyin: "..."
How did he see it? Clearly, she had hidden it so securely.
She maintained a calm expression: "I just thought this jade pendant was nice, it complents my attire today."
Long Xiao’s smile couldn’t be contained at the corners of his mouth, his eyes were filled with laughter.
He glanced at Gu Shengyin, ultimately deciding not to expose the excuse she found in her panic—her attire today was obviously mismatched with the jade pendant.
Long Xiao moved in front of Gu Shengyin, unexpectedly caught her waist.
"What are you doing?" Gu Shengyin was taken aback.
But the other party only embraced her for a mont, then let go: "A farewell embrace. Bao Chan, wait for to welco you back to Heavenly Dragon!"
A warm touch landed on her forehead, swift as a flash, nearly making her think it was an illusion.
