Upon hearing this, before Xiao Chenglin had any reaction, Xiao Lansi shuddered violently.
She instinctively glanced in that direction, her heart seizing as if gripped by a hand. Her fingertips began to tremble.
'I was so nervous just now, I didn't even notice Xiao Chenglin was here!'
Xiao Lansi couldn't describe how she was feeling at that moment.
When she was imprisoned before, she had desperately hoped to see Xiao Chenglin just once. But now that she was truly facing him, her heart was filled with a new timidity and terror.
'Will Xiao Chenglin think I caused today's crisis?'
If so, he...
While Xiao Lansi's mind was in turmoil, Xiao Chenglin finally turned to look at her.
His handsome, refined face was impassive.
"It is a joyous occasion that Princess Yuhe has returned safely. I am overjoyed. However, I have recently been framed and have my hands full, which is why I have been neglectful. I hope you will not take offense."
Xiao Lansi was utterly bewildered by his words.
