Chapter 474: Shadows! (2)

" What did you do, you ask? " She glared even further. " You've been avoiding me since this morning. Why is that? " She asked, angry.

Responding hypothetically, the emperor uttered, " Why would I avoid you, Miss Ying Yue? "

" I wasn't avoiding you. I just didn't want to monopolize others' time, that's all there is to it. " He uttered, avoiding her gaze.

" Are you sure that's it? " She asked without believing him entirely.
