Both are devoted to each other vs. He dotes on her alone
Back then, Xiao Wu was just a little hunter born with extraordinary strength. Though they were poor and never knew what tomorrow would bring, she and her father lived an ordinary village life, far from conflict. Li Shao, meanwhile, was a prince neglected by the emperor.
They had no reason to cross paths, but fate led Xiao Wu to save Li Shao, and he stayed with her for four years. During that time, they were together day and night.
Then one day, he suddenly disappeared. Though she was heartbroken, Xiao Wu went back to living with her father as before, as if Li Shao had never been part of their lives. They told everyone that their distant relative had been taken back home.
When he returned, he had taken up residence in the Eastern Palace and become the new Crown Prince. Xiao Wu gave Li Shao a sideways glance. “Do I know you? Get out of my way.”
“I’m not trying to block your path. I just…” Li Shao paused deliberately.
Impatient, Xiao Wu hurriedly asked, “Just what?”
“I came to repay you for saving my life, dear lady.” Li Shao blushed, the corners of his mouth refusing to stop curling up as he looked bashful.
Xiao Wu stared at him in confusion. “If that’s the case, leave some money and go!” Why was this Li Shao blushing?
“What? I can’t leave. Xiao Wu, you saved my life. This money isn’t nearly enough to show even a fraction of my gratitude. I came here to offer myself to you!”
“Huh?” Xiao Wu fainted… “Who wants you to offer yourself? I want your money, not you!”
Li Shao wasn’t angry or annoyed. He sighed. “Wu’er, I can’t help it. I’ve fallen in love with you. Whether you want me or not, I’m sticking with you for the rest of my life.”
