Nie Qixing had been by Nie Qingru's side since he was young, and Nie Qingru had always been very strict with him.
As time passed, he loved, respected, and feared Nie Qingru. He even developed an obsession with her, craving her acknowledgment.
Wasn't Nie Qingru's resistance to Qiao Nian also a form of recognition?
It wasn't without reason that Nie Qixing was jealous and twisted.
The last trace of gentleness in Nie Qingru's eyes disappeared. She looked at him coldly for a few seconds before questioning him emotionlessly, "So you still think I'm wrong?"
Shadow didn't say "I don't dare" this time. He felt conflicted and painful. He raised his head and looked at the woman sitting at the head of the table.
Originally, he had thousands of words he wanted to say to her.
However, when he looked at the other party's old face and emotionless eyes, he swallowed them all back and only said, "I understand the Empress's choice."
