His sudden frankness made Shen Xihe feel uncomfortable, and he subconsciously showed a look of rejection.
"Princess, I know you are very clear-headed. This world is harsh on women. You can only be at ease this way." Xiao Huayong whispered, "I tell you this because I don't want to deceive you anymore. No matter who the princess thinks of me, whether it's an ally or a husband, I think the princess hopes that we can be honest with each other."
Shen Xihe did not deny this, she nodded slightly.
"I am being honest." Xiao Huayong looked sincere, "I have feelings for the princess right now, and if one day I lose my feelings for her, I will not be false.
Therefore, the princess does not need to think too much about what I am doing now. It is my own business and I will not force the princess to respond. "
"Not forcing a response?" Shen Xihe was obviously a little unconvinced.
Is there any kind of effort in this world that does not require a response
"I won't force you." Xiao Huayong repeated seriously, "The princess is planning for the northwest because she has the northwest in her heart, and she cares about the prince because she cares about him. The princess's efforts are only because she feels it is worth it and because she is fulfilled and happy. I feel the same way about the princess now."
Shen Xihe looked at Xiao Huayong as if he were a monster.
Her eyes were always calm and indifferent, with very few emotional ups and downs. She remained calm and composed even in times of crisis. When Xiao Huayong suddenly saw her puzzled look, he actually found her very cute.
If Xiao Huayong wasn't afraid that she would feel repulsed, he really wanted to hold her in his arms.
His eyes were soft and doting, and Xiao Huayong said: "My happiness is beyond your imagination, Princess, and there is no need to doubt it."
"What if one day you feel it's not worth it?" Shen Xihe asked.
"Life is nothing but a series of gambles. No one can win every time without losing." Xiao Huayong said very open-mindedly, "If one day I lose everything, I will not regret the past gamble."
"No regrets, no resentment, and no hatred?" Shen Xihe asked again.
She was not expecting or testing, but more like trying to clear her mind. Xiao Huayong was extremely intelligent and didn't understand why she wanted to explore this, but she still answered with a smile: "Since there is no regret, why would there be resentment?"
Shen Xihe nodded vaguely: "I see."
"I'm leaving." Xiao Huayong handed a small token to Shen Xihe, "If you encounter any difficulties..."
"Your Highness, I can resolve any difficulty." Without waiting for Xiao Huayong to finish, Shen Xihe directly refused.
After hearing this, Xiao Huayong burst into laughter: "I am overthinking, Princess, please don't mind. When I return, I will ask Tianyuan to send you a food box."
"Take care, Your Highness." Shen Xihe said casually to see the guest off.
Xiao Huayong was a little angry but also couldn't help laughing. He really wanted her to ask him where he was going and what he was doing.
She was as considerate and concerned about her husband's whereabouts as an ordinary wife would be.
It turned out that he had such high expectations for her.
Leaping out of the Princess's Mansion, under the gradually waxing bright moon, Xiao Huayong looked back at Shen Xihe's boudoir. The doors and windows were closed, and the candles were extinguished.
Let him smile and sigh: "One day, you will be reluctant to leave me, keep the lights on for me all night, and worry about me."
As if with lofty ambitions, Xiao Huayong's figure disappeared into the night.
Shen Xihe turned off the lights and slept until dawn. After having breakfast, she slowly began to think about how much information Xiao Huayong had revealed to her when he came last night.
