The princess was taken aback as the officer in front of her didn't deny his claims to her. Thinking of this as some sort of dream, she uttered in a joke, " Officer Ying Jie, you shouldn't joke with things like that, you know! "
She laughed awkwardly and seeing that, Ying Jie approached her furtively. It was only when he was so close to her that she finally realized their proximity. Nervously, she uttered to the officer, " Officer Ying Jie, you're too close. Could you step away a little? "
Chuckling in response, the officer uttered, " Why should I? Do you not like it when I'm close to you like this? "
The princess became as red as a tomato at the sound of that question and answered just as awkwardly as she had previously. " Why are you speaking so nonchalantly, Officer Ying Jie? You should step away from me before others see us like this and start misinterpreting things. "
