“Hexin, I haven’t given you an answer to the question you asked me yesterday morning,” Long Yin said with a frown.
“It’s not important anymore.” Hexin glanced at him and acted indifferent about it.
Long Yin’s frown got tighter but he replied determinedly, “Didn’t you ask me if
I liked you? Don’t you want to know my answer?”
Hexin’s fingers clenched quietly when she heard this. She wanted to know the answer but was nervous at the same time. She maintained an expression of indifference as she gave him a nonchalant look.
When Long Yin saw her reaction, he knew he had made a serious mistake last night.
It was lucky that he chose to return halfway through his journey. It was still not too late.
“Listen to me, Hexin. I like you. I like you a lot.” He cupped her face in his hands and said earnestly.
Hexin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this and she looked at him in a daze.
Long Yin sighed in a low voice and his slender fingers tidied her messy hair. He said in a gentle voice, “To be honest with you, this question had never crossed my mind before I came to the Yan Kingdom only with the intention of taking responsibility.
“However, the more I spent time with you, the more I realized I was gradually getting attracted to you. The feeling of wanting to spend my life with you got stronger and things have already gotten so far from my initial thoughts. When I left yesterday, you were the one I was thinking about the entire journey.”
He grabbed her wrists and looked deeply at her. “Xinxin, will you marry me?”
Hexin listened quietly and suddenly pulled away from his hands. She sounded calm as she said, “Big Bro Long Yin, before you left yesterday, I’ve thought about this. If you liked me back, I would marry you no matter what, but… I’m not so sure anymore.”
Long Yin’s heart tightened in his chest when he heard this. “Why?”
Hexin pushed him away and sat up. She said softly, “You might not know how much I envy Uncle Emperor and Aunt Weiwei. Their love for each other is so strong that they have no room for others. That is what I have always wanted and desired. I do like you, but I realized that we are not suitable for each other. There is a long life ahead of us. If we force ourselves to be with each other despite not being suitable, there would be a lot of problems between us down the road. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life complaining and regretting things. ”
Long Yin was silent.
He knew that his parent’s love for each other had always been the envy of others and was something that a lot of people hoped for.
His mother may be past thirty now, but she was still like a little girl in front of his father.
“Xinxin, I will dote on you a lot too,” he said earnestly with a frown.
“If you can dote on one person, you can dote on the entire imperial harem as well. Are you sure you won’t have another woman in the future, Big Bro Long Yin? How many portions of your heart can you give others?” Hexin sighed and decided to just tell him what she felt. “My heart is so small that it’s only enough to fit you, but what about you? Would you fit another woman in your heart besides me?”
Long Yin was taken aback.
Hexin was extremely disappointed to see his reaction.
It was just as she had thought. Uncle Emperor loved Aunt Weiwei so deeply, but as their son, Big Bro Long Yin might not be able to do the same.
It was normal for men during their era to have several wives, and it might even be necessary for Big Bro Long Yin, who was the future Emperor of Great Shang to have several concubines. However, she did not want to follow such a trend after witnessing the people around her being loyal to only one partner. She did not want to give in.
It was the same no matter how much she liked Big Bro Long Yin. She could never accept her husband marrying several wives. It was best to cut ties right now rather than be miserable in the future..
