Getting Cold Feet

Chu Liuyue was speechless. She increasingly had the feeling that Rong Xiu had prepared everything and was just waiting for her to agree to it.

"What if I didn't come this time?" she asked.

Rong Xiu glanced at her. "If not this time, then next time and the time after. You're bound to show up eventually."

Chu Liuyue could not help but laugh. "Prince Li is so confident. What if I never agree? Won't all those preparations be in vain then? Oh right, Prince Li can always just get someone else and…"

Rong Xiu's tone was calm. "It's just for you. If you never agree, I'll just burn everything."

Since everything was prepared for her, there was no point in keeping them if she did not want them. Of course, Rong Xiu had never thought about doing this because he had his eyes set on her.

Chu Liuyue paused. His tone is even as if he is stating a fact. It's like he doesn't realize how startling this is to me.
