Zhao Zicheng didn't seem to notice that Chu Liuyue's expression was amiss as he continued, "I knew that Your Majesty would be busy with work recently, so when I came back, I stayed in my residence all along. I didn't dare to disturb you, but…"
Zhao Zicheng looked up and quickly glanced at the woman in front of him, his eyes filled with unconcealable love and admiration as his nervous heart kept beating. "B-but… I've admired Your Majesty for many years. If I still don't say it this time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to do so next time."
After finally voicing out his inner thoughts, Zhao Zicheng instantly felt much better, but his handsome face was stained with a tinge of red. He looked at Chu Liuyue with eyes filled with hope and uneasiness as if he were waiting for her reply.
