"I will not become a pawn in your games. If you wish to play, may go and find someone else!"
Gripping her chin firmly, his gaze deepened. "I am not Xie Ziyuan. Do not expect me to have his courtesy or patience!"
QingWu suddenly realized that Xiao Chenyuan was truly acting unhinged tonight. Out of nowhere, he was bringing up Xie Ziyuan. Why?
She nodded, her tone casual yet cutting. "That's clear. When it comes to being likable, you're definitely no match for Xie young master."
Even as children, she preferred Xie Ziyuan. She loved to provoke him, always competing over trivial things. He would scold her, claiming her eyesight must be faulty, and once even dragged her to the Imperial Hospital, threatening to have her eyes treated with needles to "fix" them.
Hearing her answer, Xiao Chenyuan let out a cold laugh but released her.
"My apologies for inconveniencing my Queen."
