The air fell into a long silence.
Just when Hua Manman thought Li Ji wouldn't speak again, he suddenly began, his voice low and deep.
"Many people believe I am his son."
Hua Manman asked cautiously, "Is it true?"
Li Ji countered with a question, "What do you think?"
Hua Manman laughed awkwardly. "I do not know."
Li Ji asked again, "If I said it wasn't true, would you believe me?"
Hua Manman nodded without hesitation. "I would!"
Li Ji stared at her. "Why?"
Hua Manman said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
"Compared to all that gossip, I naturally believe the Prince. After all, you are my husband!"
After spending this time together, she had come to a preliminary understanding of Prince Zhao.
'He might not always act like a decent human being, always looking for ways to torment me. He's a sharp-tongued, irritating jerk, and he isn't all there in the head.'
'But he has never actually lied to me.'
Li Ji, hearing her inner thoughts: "..."
