Lian Hua was surprised, so that was how it was. It seemed she had to say something after all.
Before she could speak, though, the Emperor released her and started sighing, intending to leave, "I never thought Nannan would feel so distant from me. If she does not want to talk, then let it be."
The Emperor had perfectly played hard to get, understanding her psychology crystal clear.
Sure enough, Lian Hua immediately said, "Don't go~"
She pulled at his sleeve, not letting him leave.
She lowered her head to ponder. His Majesty's words seemed quite reasonable. He wanted to help her, and not speaking would mean remaining distant while speaking would not.
So, what was she waiting for?!
Having made up her mind, she looked up, just about to speak, but then her eyes shifted and she changed her mind, confirming slyly, "Your Majesty, these are your words, right?"
If asked later, it wouldn't be because she was thick-skinned; it was His Majesty who insisted she speak, Teehee.
