Observing the man's familiar demeanor, a hint of delight emerged on Lin Mengyao's face. "No worries at all," he replied calmly.

"Why don't you come and sit in my courtyard, Your Highness?"

"Sure."

Xiao Junhao gave a nod of agreement, then followed her to leave, leaving Lin Mengxin alone in the pavilion. As she watched them depart, Mengxin clenched her fists tightly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Junhao's face turned serious. "My father has already betrothed Jiang Peihuan to King Cheng."
