"Absolutely not!"
Zhou Junlin grabbed Song Lianhe's wrist. "You can't stay here! You have to leave with me!"
Behind him, Gu Ha rolled his eyes, speechless.
'Oh, my Prince!!'
'When has he ever been so indecisive and sentimental?!'
'In my opinion, it's all this woman Song Lianhe's fault. I knew nothing good ever came from running into her!'
Song Lianhe looked at him in surprise. "I..."
"Heh heh."
Kong Yu crossed his arms, chewing on a piece of straw as he enjoyed the show, happy to stir the pot. He said in a roguish tone, "This young master is so insistent. Princess Qing, don't refuse. Just go with him."
Song Lianhe shot him a glare. "Shut up!"
Unperturbed, Kong Yu simply shrugged with a wicked grin.
She looked away from him and said earnestly, "Thank you for your kindness, Young Master Shen Wu, but if you're all to escape unscathed, I must stay behind to buy you time."
