บท 69: Entering the Palace

Jiang Peihuan had convinced herself that she would no longer harbor feelings for sweet nothings of love in this lifetime, yet upon hearing "I have feelings for you," her heart unexpectedly fluttered.

When she was hugged by Xiao Nanye, she could scent the crisp fragrance wafting from him, a scent that she found oddly captivating.

She couldn't resist reaching out, but even before her hand touched Xiao Nanye, he released her.

Meeting her gaze, he smiled softly, his eyes brimming with mirth. "Huan Er, I know you aren't in love with me yet, but it's alright. I'll gradually make you fall for me."

Hearing his words, Jiang Peihuan fell silent.

After a significant pause, she looked at the man before her and asked, "Is there anything you need me to do regarding this matter?"

"No, there's no need."

Locking eyes with her, Xiao Nanye went on, "You don't have to do anything. The mere opportunity for me to love you is more than enough."
