Pei Huaian, upon hearing these words, felt a piercing pain in his heart. He clenched his fists in anger, veins bulging on his hands: "I've said it before, I won't allow you to leave me."
"I just want to be an ordinary person," Shao He replied indifferently, glancing at him.
"Ordinary person? From the day you married me, the Crown Prince, you were destined not to be an ordinary person. Do you understand?"
Pei Huaian scoffed, his deep and dark eyes tightly fixed on her, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly.
Shao He hadn't expected this man to possess such a noble identity. Her eyebrows furrowed, but she replied firmly, "We are not suitable for each other."
Pei Huaian lowered his gaze, a bitter smile crossing the bottom of his eyes.
He extended his slender index finger, gently caressing her face: "Whether we are suitable or not isn't for you to say."
Shao He avoided his touch, took a deep breath, and calmly said, "On what basis?"
