Liansisi spoke bluntly. It was true the Queen treated her very well, but if she thought that kindness gave her the right to make decisions for Liansisi, she was sorely mistaken.
"If she really likes me, then she should be happy no matter which of her sons I choose."
"At the very least, I'm still choosing to become part of her family." Although Liansisi's tone was a bit aggressive, every word she said was reasonable. Shi Li smiled, relieved.
Liansisi was different from her.
Liansisi had so many brilliant qualities. Just her open-mindedness alone was something Shi Li herself had struggled with for a long time before finally coming to terms with it.
"It's good that you can think that way. So, please, help me watch over things here."
"There are many things I'd rather entrust to you than to them." Shi Li gripped Liansisi's hand tightly.
'On this trip… I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to come back.'
