Chapter 809 Brief Intention of Warmth (1)
Everyone internally calculated their moves, and they were also shaken by Xiao Ruiyuan’s bold refusal of the emperor’s kindness; after all, not everyone has the courage to reject the favor of a monarch. However, doesn’t this also illustrate that he is indeed favored by the Holy One, with a bright future ahead?
Mo Yan stared blankly at the earnest Xiao Ruiyuan, her eyes unable to focus on anything else. She never imagined that in such an occasion, she would hear the most heartfelt love confession in the world.
Initially, she hesitated to accept this affection, merely because she thought it was difficult for him, in an ancient era where polygamy was legal, to give her an exclusive love for a lifetime.
Later, when their relationship was finally confirmed and their feelings deepened, he never made such a statement nor did she persistently seek this promise. But tonight, she finally heard the commitment she yearned for!
Xiao Ruiyuan seemed to sense something and casually shifted his gaze to Mo Yan’s face. In each other’s eyes, they saw the hidden longing for the most beautiful love in the world.
"Haha, I didn’t realize that Xiao Aiqing was such a passionate person. Well, if one day you meet a girl you fancy, my promise today still stands, and I will grant Xiao Aiqing a marriage!"
His goodwill was rejected, yet the sovereign sitting on the lofty Dragon Throne didn’t seem angry. Only the faint shade of gloom that flitted across the depth of his eyes revealed his true emotions.
"This subordinate thanks Your Majesty for his generous grace!" Xiao Ruiyuan once again gave a fist salute, though his heart did not fully relax.
He was well aware that Emperor Huian, knowing that he was fond of Yanyan, suddenly proposing marriage was by no means casual talk; it likely had a profound significance.
