"Jiujiu, we have known each other for so long. How I feel about you is clear to anyone who glances our way. How can you doubt and misunderstand me based on a few idle words from others? Do you know that I've been losing sleep over this every night?"
Realizing that Murong Jiu cared for him, Jun Haoze's tone carried a hint of accusation.
He had to turn the tables and make Murong Jiu feel self-reproachful to better control her.
"The words of others sound so convincing. You allowed me to marry into Prince Ling's Mansion for her sake. Your kindness to me was merely for my medical skills."
Jun Haoze said angrily,
"This person is full of lies! In my eyes, you're distinct from the noble girls of the Capital City. I admire your medical skills and want you to save more lives, to make your reputation even brighter. I have no other motives! And as for the marriage by proxy, I was completely unaware. I even suspect that someone deliberately tried to separate us!"
