After a few more heartfelt words, Ye Jiu finally asked, "Escorting sweet potatoes shouldn't be such a significant task, right? Couldn't father have just sent someone else? Why come in person?"
With a tone of complaint, Jing King started, "I knew it. You ungrateful girl do not welcome this king."
Embarrassed by her transparency, Ye Jiu chuckled awkwardly, "Not at all. Isn't it just that the journey is long? Even riding fast would take almost half a month, and I was worried father would get too worn out along the way."
"Then your worry is unnecessary. I am young and strong; such a journey is nothing to me," Jing King replied.
In reality, how could he not see that the child simply did not welcome him?
But still, he wanted to come.
Whatever Jing King wanted to do, not even the current emperor could necessarily stop him, so why should he care about others' thoughts?
Yet, seeing Ye Jiu's repeated excuses, his heart couldn't help feeling somewhat pained.
