Xiao Chengye · Conversa

Xiao Chengye was already carrying a body full of aggression and discontent. The one-heart-one-couple life he had planned was abruptly cut short by this decision. He knew the fault was not with the person under the red veil, but with the current emperor—his own father. With no one else to blame, he could only brood in silence. After barely completing the wedding ceremony, Xiao Chengye drank outside. He didn't really want to go to the bridal chamber to see that unfamiliar 'lady.' But when it came down to it, what had that girl done wrong? She had just gone through a family tragedy. Thinking about it made him restless. He didn't consider himself a cold-blooded person, so he went to the bridal chamber drunk, intending to make things clear with the bride. He didn't dare lift the red veil, because if this girl were to seek another good family in the future, doing so would seem too disrespectful. Suppressing the anger in his heart, he went to the bridal chamber. “Uh... miss... no... young lady... I...” The 'lady' didn't move or speak. He almost didn't dare to speak either, but in the end, he still said, “This prince already has someone in his heart. Taking you as my wife... was indeed helpless... However, this prince can indeed provide you with protection. From now on, you may freely do whatever you want to do, and this prince will never stop you.” He didn't actually have someone in his heart; that was just an excuse he made for himself. He had already explained himself to the person before him while suppressing his temper. Even he found this version of himself somewhat unfamiliar.
