That night, the girls who had advanced were arranged to reside in Yuhua Palace.
Han Zhan, as a personal guard, was also able to stay in Chu Huaiyu's courtyard.
However, after going back, Chu Huaiyu dismissed Xiaoya and shut the door, throwing herself into Han Zhan's embrace and began to cry.
Han Zhan was still not used to being so close to her, even though they had shared that kind of relationship.
He wanted to push her away, but then he realized how cruel that action would be.
His hand landed on her shoulder, and in the end, the force pushing her away retracted.
"You've suffered."
But even as he said this, Chu Huaiyu could sense some lack of enthusiasm.
Han Zhan said indifferently, "You are already my woman. If you truly feel it's unbearable, then how about I go ask the Grand Tutor for your hand in marriage? As long as I tell him about our relationship..."
"That's not possible!" Chu Huaiyu immediately refused, looking up at him with tear-filled eyes.
