It was clear that he seemed a little stunned.
Everyone was also slightly surprised. No one had expected Nangong Jin, who had always faced big challenges without flinching, to display such an adorably dumbfounded expression right now.
It was completely the look of a rookie shocked by being named by their long-admired superstar, filled with disbelief, happiness, and excitement. That expression was genuinely adorable, like the feeling of winning the lottery out of the blue without any prior preparation.
The cigarette held lightly between his lips almost slipped off in surprise—that look was undeniably a bit cute.
Nangong Jin was indeed somewhat shocked. His prior thoughts had merely been his own wild imagination; he had no certainty that Di Jinxuan would actually acknowledge him in such a public setting. But now, suddenly, she had really said it.
And she even described him as a prince!
It left him feeling…
Mixed with joy and sorrow.
