Gu Lingqiao had always been wary of this topic, and now that Xuexue brought it up in person, she naturally felt uncomfortable.
"Let me tell you, don't think I can't get married! All these years, I've been waiting for Brother Rui!" The implication was that Long Rui had delayed her lifelong happiness, hence no marriage.
Long Rui, sitting beside her, heard Gu Lingqiao's words, and his mood instantly soured. He secretly glanced at Xuexue beside him, and seeing that she wasn't angry, he felt relieved.
Xuexue remained calm and composed, smilingly saying, "Miss Gu is overthinking, the meaning of this Princess Consort is, I am sixteen this year."
Gu Lingqiao didn't immediately grasp it: "Ah?"
Xuexue casually said, "Miss Gu is older than me, shouldn't call me sister, it sounds absurd, and others find it odd as well. Better to call me Princess Consort, it's much more pleasant."
