The two who were lying on the chaise lounge frowned when they heard the sound from outside the hall.

  Lu Chen wanted to ignore the voices outside, but Qiao Jinniang was no longer in the mood. She tidied up her clothes. “Lu Chen, if we had known each other since we were children, would you marry me?”


  Lu Chen said, “Yes.”


  Qiao Jinniang said, “Then why didn’t you marry Qiao Ruoyun?”


  Lu Chen: “Qiao Ruoyun and Qin Shu were engaged since childhood. Qiao Ruoyun never entered the imperial palace to avoid trouble before getting married, so I didn’t even know her before, and even if I knew her, I wouldn’t like her character.”


  Qiao Jinniang snorted. “So if I weren’t swapped with Qiao Ruoyun, you would definitely not have married me.”


  “Who said that? I’m the Crown Prince. Even if you had married Qin Shu, I would still have snatched you over.”
