"That damn Laurie, since he can't have you, he wants to destroy you. Damn it, we really ought to just kill him."
Although Xiao Lijin was powerful, Laurie couldn't just die like that; it couldn't be concealed from the world, so he had to think of another way.
"Don't worry, I still have the ability to protect myself."
"I say no means no."
No matter what at Xiao's expense, Laurie wasn't a concern, but dealing with Bai Qingzhu wasn't something he could allow. He must protect Bai Qingzhu, letting no harm come to her at all.
Later, Bai Qingzhu resigned herself to fate. In fact, even if this hadn't happened, she knew Xiao Lijin would follow her for sure; he just found an excuse.
Queen Elizabeth had the royal attire of Country Y sent over, and Bai Qingzhu and Xiao Lijin each went to change into them.
It was Bai Qingzhu's first time wearing this style; indeed, with her already excellent demeanor, she now looked exactly like a princess of Country Y, perhaps even better.
