I want his insides to shatter

"Traits are hard to change, but thoughts can be," Ning Hua asserted. "Why does His Highness think that one of us will have a change of thoughts?" she then inquired. 

"Do I need to even tell? I thought you were smart enough to know this," Wangjie stated, peering into her eyes. 

Ning Hua lowered her head and she decided to leave. As she held the tray, Wangjie asked her if she planned to leave already. 

"Yes. I don't wish to take more time of His Highness," Ning Hua opined. Wangjie caught her hand, releasing it from the tray. 

"Stay here," Wangjie urged and he slowly let go of her hand. 

Ning Hua didn't leave as Prince Wangjie wanted her to be by his side. "Isn't His Highness Governor of Chang'an?" she asked with a surprised gaze. 

"Yes, I am," Wangjie replied. 

"Then, how is His Highness so free?" she inquired.
