An Ji stopped in his tracks.
An Youyou, carefree and bold, was indeed much smarter than he had thought.
Just a slight anomaly in the grand hall, and she noticed it.
An Youyou strode up to An Ji, "Is that so?"
An Ji did not hide it and nodded.
"Do you like her?" An Youyou asked bluntly.
She was always unable to keep things to herself, always saying whatever came to mind.
Only this time, the words that slipped out made her inexplicably regret for a moment.
Even.
Her heart was pounding uncontrollably, wildly.
For a moment, there seemed to be a look of surprise in An Ji's eyes.
Perhaps stunned by An Youyou's straightforward question.
An Youyou bit her lip, seeing An Ji's silence, suddenly reconsidered.
She spoke, "If you don't want to say..."
"I once promised her I would take her away from the Imperial Palace," An Ji replied.
An Youyou was slightly taken aback.
