"A harmonious union… Uncle Emperor, what on earth are you talking about? I don't like Lu Shaoyuan, and I don't want this marriage."
Shen Ningning's eyelashes trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.
'Why would the Emperor suddenly arrange a marriage between me and Lu Shaoyuan?'
The Emperor, likely guessing that Shen Ningning would refuse, kept his expression unchanged, still wearing an approachable smile.
But right now, that smile, in Shen Ningning's eyes, was like an icicle frozen in the sunlight, exuding a sharp, distant coldness.
"Ningning, I believe I have always treated you well. I have granted your every request, have I not?"
Shen Ningning nodded lightly but immediately added, "But that doesn't give you the right to dictate my marriage, Uncle Emperor."
'Many people have been good to me. Does that mean I have to obey all of them?'
The Emperor sighed. "I am not doing this for you, but for Ling Wei. Ningning, is it possible you still don't know that he likes you?"
