Xue Yan first let out an almost inaudible sigh, before nodding slightly to her with a firm gaze, indicating that he wanted to say it.
If his family didn't know anything, he would have been fine with it. Now, the news had more or less reached his family's ears. If he continued to hide it, it would be a little unreasonable to not speak the truth.
Moreover, that was then and now is now. The possibility of something happening to him now was extremely small. Even if his parents knew everything, they would never stop worrying. Naturally, they would not give up anything for him like in his previous life.
Xue Yan opened his mouth and said to his parents rather self-reproachfully, "Father, Mother, I… I am the new Emperor of Da Ling who ascended to the throne at the beginning of this year."
"Xue Yan, when did you learn to joke like that?" Liu Guixia and Xue Dafu didn't believe him. They immediately burst out laughing.
