"Oh?" Xie Wanqing looked down at him and asked with a smile, "If he reports to the Holy Emperor and asks for an imperial edict to fulfill this marriage, do you think the Xie family would disobey the decree?"
The sunlight was at its peak, and they sat and stood, their shadows stretching long and beautifully.
Pei Yuqing's gaze fell on the entangled shadows of the two, his voice very soft: "Don't worry, the current Holy Emperor is enlightened and would never forcefully issue a marriage edict against a lady's will."
At this point, anyone could see that he truly had no intention of marrying her.
Xie Wanqing began to doubt if she had misunderstood his feelings.
Could it be her own arrogance, leading to a misunderstanding?
Perhaps he really only considered her a sister and was kind to her for Xie YanYu's sake, while she...
Attempted to gauge his feelings, asking if he was willing to marry her.
Just thinking about it made her feel awkward.
