章節 101: Fake Assassination Attempt

Wang Jian's eyes sparkled as he spoke, "I must confess, my dear. I caught a glimpse of you in the palace and was instantly smitten. I knew I had to have you, and I used my power and influence to ensure that your hand in marriage would be mine. I understand if you feel this is wrong and despise me for it."

Chen Yiyan's heart fluttered at his honesty, and she couldn't help but admire his straightforwardness. "I appreciate your candor, Prince Wang Jian," she replied, her voice soft and sincere.

"I understand that my father has promised me to you, and I will honor his wishes," she continued, her voice trembling with emotion.

"But I hope that we can build a relationship based on trust and respect. I have no doubt that you will make a wonderful husband, but I ask for your patience and understanding as I adjust to this new chapter in my life."
