บท 66: Would you be willing to marry me?

Seeing Jian Peihuan's undisguised defiance, a hint of pleasure crossed Xiao Nanye's face.

"If my guess is correct, the Emperor intends to use you to control the entire Jiang clan," he stated.

With Jiang Peihuan's gaze filled with displeasure, he continued, "Don't worry about this, I'll devise a plan to discourage the Emperor from this idea."

"But there's one thing I must ask you."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"Would you be willing to marry me?"

At Xiao Nanye's words, Jiang Peihuan fell into silence once again.

Observing her silence, Xiao Nanye carried on, "If you become my wife, you will be the only woman I desire. In the whole Cheng Mansion, there won't be any other woman but you."

Jiang Peihuan, who was about to respond, was stunned by his words. She instinctively looked into the man's eyes, meeting his unblinking gaze.
