Yuan Song was shocked when he heard her words. He stared at her with stunned expressions.
His eyes were widened than usual and lips were parted away but he doesn't seem to have any intention to speak. He just stared at her without saying anything.
Tan Xiu blinked her eyes as her heart started to become heavy. If he had said something, it would have been better. But this silence was killing her.
Her lips quivered as she held her head down to avoid his gaze and stared at her legs.
" Commander Yuan Song, I...I must have startled you. You.. don't have to reply now. I just wanted to express my feelings to you. I know you think of me nothing more but a Princess and always treat me with the utmost respect." she said while trying to hold back her tears.
