Upon hearing the words, Leng Yu Yan stood frozen.
Her eyes, brimming with the gentle ripples of autumn waters, shimmered with astonishment.
Ye Yiheng gazed at her intently for a long while, noticing the luminescent wave-like gleam in her beautiful eyes, before he finally lowered his gaze and discreetly straightened his robe.
He was testing.
Testing what were his true feelings for the young girl before him?
And furthermore, testing if, aside from him, she had any inclination for another choice.
After a while, Leng Yu Yan spoke softly, "I have no other bargaining chips. If Your Highness wishes to back out, I have nothing to say."
As she spoke, she stood up. "In that case, I shall not go to the Eastern Palace. I take my leave!"
Ye Yiheng let out a soft sigh. So be it, his probing had yielded no results.
"A deal once struck is irrevocable."
"It seems the Commandery Princess has forgotten what I just said."
