An Ning frowned, her tone clearly tinged with confusion, "Return to the palace?"
"I know you are Ye Qichi," Xiao Jinxing said, "There's no need to deceive me any further; it's futile."
An Ning bit her lip.
Is it really just futile?!
She didn't believe it.
"How many times must this humble woman say it for Your Majesty to believe that I am not the person you claim?"
"So how did you know I am the emperor?" Xiao Jinxing looked at her.
"Didn't Your Majesty just mention returning to the palace? Who else can speak of returning to the palace besides the emperor?" An Ning explained.
Xiao Jinxing lowered his eyes.
It seemed he was controlling his inner emotions.
Why, to this extent,
She just refused to admit that she was Ye Qichi.
If the first time he saw her, it was just a feeling,
Then last night, when he held her in his arms, it was confirmation.
He looked up and gazed back at An Ning.
Then he approached her bed with a few quick steps.
An Ning watched him warily.
