Chu Yuxiao laughed a little and said, "Do you really think I’m worried they’ll take back the throne? I’m just..."

Su Yan interrupted him, "I know. You don’t care much about this throne, but you don’t want to easily hand over what you’ve worked hard for.

We shouldn’t care what others think, as long as we do our own thing well.

Actually, as I see it, people with true insight don’t care who becomes Emperor, as long as someone has the ability to sit there, then they’re remarkable."

Chu Yuxiao was surprised that she would say such words, completely different from those stubborn people.

He excitedly grasped her hands tightly, staring at her without blinking.

"Yan’er, I find you are different from other women."

"Of course, because I’m not from this world at all."

Suddenly, a dark wave passed through Chu Yuxiao’s eyes, and he pulled her into his embrace, lowering his head to capture her lips.

After kissing her deeply, he breathed into her ear, whispering ambiguously, "Don’t say things like that anymore."

In a daze, Su Yan opened her eyes, a tear sparkling in them.

"Okay, I promise you."

Since the two reunited, he hadn’t warned her like before, forbidding her to leave or to do this and that.

His temperament had instead become more steady, his care for her oscillating between strict and lenient, no longer pressuring her unconditionally.

She knew that this was for her, as he was trying hard to change himself.

She hoped he wouldn’t be too strict with her, so he learned to give her time, freedom, and space.

She couldn’t bear to see his uncertain appearance, so he tried his best to show a calm expression.

Whatever she hoped for, he tried his best to fulfill.

But she knew that, deep down, he was always worried, nervous, and scared...

Otherwise, he wouldn’t, after falling asleep every night, uncontrollably hold her tightly, or make painful groans and murmurs in his dreams.

Today, an inadvertent remark hurt him, how could it not also hurt her even more...

There would be no more, she wouldn’t say anything hurtful to him again. He wants to bring her happiness, and she also wants to bring him happiness...
