Chapter 710: It’s Not

Chapter 710: It’s NotNan Hua was silent.

She could guess that the reason why Long Qian Xing made this declaration was because he wanted to reassure her. However, Nan Hua didn't really need his assurance just because of what someone else said.

It was not like Long Qian Xing could control what other people thought about him.

What he could control is his thoughts and actions.

"Mhm. I know, Brother Long."

However, Nan Hua felt that Long Qian Xing would not keep this promise of his. When he fell for the female lead, would he regret ever making such promise to her? After all, he was not supposed to end up with her.

"That's good."

Long Qian Xing was actually still a bit worried, but he knew that it would be useless to repeat the same words over and over again. All he could do was to look at the young girl in front of him and trusted her words.

Sighing internally, Long Qian Xing felt that this was much harder than leading soldiers on the frontline. At the very least, he would not be feeling this nervous when he was leading his soldiers on the frontline.

They soon reached the carriage.

"Miss, please be careful." Xiao Yun stepped forward to help Nan Hua enter the carriage.

Long Qian Xing pursed his lips slightly as he watched Nan Hua entered the carriage. He could see her turning to look at him after she had entered the carriage.

"I'll see you again soon, Brother Long."

"Your fiancée is still young, so you better practice restraint."

"Your Majesty, do you think so low of me?" Long Qian Xing was speechless. He would naturally restrain himself and not do anything inappropriate to such a young girl. If this was his previous world, he would have to wait even longer than the amount of time he had to in this world.

"I'm just reminding you."

"Then I would thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yang Zhou chuckled. He looked at Long Qian Xing and sighed. "Sometimes, I envy you. To be able to show your feelings openly and still be true to yourself most of the time is really nice."

Long Qian Xing didn't answer and merely stared back. He knew that because of his position, Emperor Yang Zhou couldn't do many things. It had long become the restrain that stopped him from doing whatever he wanted too.

"Becoming part of the Imperial Family, the most important thing we have to learn is to be unfeeling and indifferent." Emperor Yang Zhou's gaze turned cold. They had to be indifferent and never showed their real heart to anyone.

Because if they truly showed their weak side, it would be used by others as a weapon against them.

"You have a lot of matters in hand. Do you really have the time to truly care for a woman?" Long Qian Xing asked.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Long Qian Xing and chuckled. "If you're in my place, I'm sure that you won't be able to adapt well."

"I'm grateful that I'm not born as part of the Imperial Family."

Emperor Yang Zhou: "..."

He knew that Long Qian Xing was being blunt, but it did displease him a bit to listen to his words.

"There are some matters that I would like you to review. Come with me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
