Prince Chiluo listened intently to Wen Nian's words, his eyes immediately lit up, and he stood up to bow deeply to Wen Nian, wishing to express his gratitude.
Wen Nian urged him to sit down quickly,
"Chiluo, between you and me, we are equals, aren't we?"
"Indeed we are."
"Then why such a grand gesture all of a sudden? Do you think I can accept it?"
"Ha ha ha! I'm just excited, just really excited."
Chiluo might have realized his actions were a bit too formal.
"Just now, I was telling Prince Chiluo that I wanted to become friends with him, that no matter the difficulty, we could help each other,"
Song Lili said.
Wen Nian nodded.
Chiluo smiled, sipping the hot soup the servant brought to warm up, and spoke softly,
"In the Royal Family, even when I'm with my parents and siblings, I don't feel the warmth I've felt in your home."
Song Lili and Wen Nian exchanged glances.
