"Yes, please go inside and take a seat first." Li Hui hurriedly said.
"Hmm." The Queen nodded and said again, "Madam Nangong, you don’t need to be so reserved."
"Alright." Li Hui smiled, "Let’s have a casual chat then. Please, this way."
"Hmm." The Queen nodded again.
The three of them walked into the living room and sat down together.
Once seated, the Queen was very direct and said bluntly, "My son is very fond of your daughter."
Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui both froze for a moment and then lowered their eyes silently.
It felt as if they were indebted to the Queen.
It also felt as if the Queen might be here to pressure them into marriage!
If the Queen really forced a marriage, this matter, this matter would not be easy to handle!
When a country, in the name and status of a nation, proposes marriage to you, what can you say?
It’s completely difficult to refuse, completely at a disadvantage.
If you want to refuse, it’s destined to lead to a fallout, and having a fallout with the Royal Family of a hereditary country, the consequences can be imagined.
So Li Hui and Nangong Tiancheng were nervous, completely unsure of how to respond for a while.
It just felt like no matter how they responded, it wouldn’t be right!
"I apologize for not discussing this with you beforehand before making such a decision." The Queen continued, "I really like Xiaolin, but I’m not sure how you feel about my Alvin?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Tiancheng and Li Hui were again slightly taken aback.
After the slight surprise, Nangong Tiancheng quickly responded, "Your Majesty, Prince Alvin is still a child in our view—young, handsome, talented, cultured, courteous, very graceful. Of course, as part of a noble royal family, his upbringing is exceptionally good, and his status is very noble. Additionally, as a man, he is very responsible. To be honest, personally, I truly admire and like Prince Alvin."
Nangong Tiancheng’s words were genuine and sincere. Alvin is indeed a great young man, and anyone with clear vision can see it. From a fair perspective, no one dislikes such a promising young man.
Upon hearing Nangong Tiancheng’s words, the Queen finally revealed a trace of a relieved smile and said humbly, "Thank you, Mr. Nangong, thank you for thinking so highly of my son."
"No, no, I’m just speaking honestly." Nangong Tiancheng hurriedly said, "When it comes to matters of the heart, we as adults can only bless the children’s choices and are really in no position to interfere."
This was the truth, but it also effectively conveyed a subtle refusal.
