Ling Hua wanted to say it didn't count anymore, but when she looked up at Xiao Zhen's face, she couldn't bring herself to say those words.
How can one not keep their word!
He had been alone since he was young, and now he was still alone, without a throne or a dominion over the world, he wasn't wealthy across the Four Seas. Although people surrounded him, on a night like New Year's Eve, he was still lonely.
Moreover, she had a lot to tell him; she had intended to find another time, but since he had brought it up today, she could not outright refuse.
Ling Hua sighed inwardly, "It counts."
Xiao Zhen's face revealed a smile, finally seeing a glimmer of their past interactions. He said with a malicious tone, "If you dare say it doesn't count, I will throw you into the moat to feed the turtles."
