Chapter 652 - I..like you! (1/2)

Tan Xiu who listened to Yuan Song's scolding and was overwhelmed with emotions thinking about what happened at the palace.

He had never scolded her before and she got scared seeing his expressions, afraid that he might find her a bother and was just treating her as a Princess.

Rather than being scolded, she was afraid of being rejected by the man for whom she made so many efforts.

She couldn't control herself as tears started to form in her eyes and without her knowing, she started sobbing and couldn't stop herself from crying out loud.

” I don't want to be the Princess. ” She said as she started sobbing loudly.

Yuan Song was startled seeing her crying like this. He looked around and was relieved that it was a secluded alley, and no one was around. Her maid was standing at the corner of the alley but she was standing there as if she were non-existent.

He stopped scolding her, seeing her crying, and stood there awkwardly. He can make people cry but he doesn't know how to stop them from crying.

He raised his hand to pat her shoulder but retracted it thinking that it might be too much. After all, she is still a princess and he is just a military commander.

Seeing his hesitance, she wailed loudly making him scared and worried.

” Prin... Princess Tan Xiu… it's okay. Please don't cry. Ah, I am sorry. I am sorry that I shouted at you.” He started apologizing seeing her crying loudly.

He can do anything but dealing with a crying woman was so difficult.

Tan Xiu calmed down a little but tears were still rolling down her cheeks. He sighed helplessly and stretched his hand towards her.

He looked into her eyes and patted her head lovingly, ” There, there. Don't cry now. I won't scold you anymore.”

”-_-”

*Hic*

Tan Xiu stopped at once and as soon as he said those words, she started hiccuping. Her eyes wide opened as she stared at him in shock.

He has never talked to her in such an informal and intimate tone. He has always respected her and maintained the formalities. Sometimes she found it annoying because this created a wall between them.

However, as soon as his hand touched her head, she felt bells ringing in her ears. Suddenly the air became more fragrant and clean, flowers were blooming and she felt a tingling sensation in her stomach.

She looked at him in a daze which caused her lips into a bright smile.

Yuan Song smiled awkwardly seeing her extreme smile and expressions. He awkwardly retracted his hand and said, ” You...are fine? You are not hurt, are you?”

She blinked her eyes seeing that he was not using formalities. She pursed her lips to control her smile.
