Deadline in Three Months

"Have you acted enough?"

Xie Wan blinked slightly, "Huh?"

Li Yu looked at her calmly, his whole demeanor as still as a mountain, and asked, "When you think of becoming the Princess Royal, what do you think of?"

Xie Wan looked at him, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she didn't utter a word.

Li Yu didn't seem to be expecting her to answer. He continued in a gentle tone, "You would first think of power, the conveniences it would bring, the future of the Noble Marquis residence, and only then, me. But Xie Wan..."

He took her hand from around his neck, then let go and adjusted his collar. He looked at her and continued slowly, "For me, the position of the Princess Royal means mutual affection and lifelong companionship."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wan glanced at him and lowered her eyes, saying softly, "I haven't been acting."
