Standing at the doorway, he raised his hand to knock.
But the large hand hovered in mid-air, hesitating for a long time, never quite making contact. Finally, deflated, he turned on his heel and headed toward Zhuo Cailing's bedroom.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence in taking down Yuwen Siyao, but rather...
How should he put it, whether the princess was willing or not, she wouldn't be able to escape him if he decided he wanted her.
Moreover, he was quite confident that he could handle her.
Yeah, after wooing her a bit, he was sure she would become obedient!
But...
Yes, he did want her, but he couldn't bear to force her. And when lust clouded his mind, he was shameless, to the point of blushing afterward.
Yeah, he couldn't ruin the shining image she might have of him in her heart!
At the moment, standing at the door to Zhuo Cailing's bedroom, he started knocking persistently. Yet, from inside, her irritated voice sounded, "I'm asleep, I can't hear you!"
