The next second, the handsome and arrogant man appeared in front of Princess Xi.
Upon seeing that it was Qiu Tu, even with Princess Xi's composure, a look of surprise and delight couldn't help but show on her face.
"Qiu... Speaker?"
Princess Xi looked at Qiu Tu in disbelief.
Qiu Tu stood up with a smile and said, "Surprised?"
Princess Xi's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded seriously, "Indeed, very surprised."
Qiu Tu smiled and moved away from the main seat, then said, "The affairs in the state have been quite numerous these past few days, often keeping me busy until midnight."
"So... I haven't been able to meet with the Princess as planned. Please forgive me."
Princess Xi didn't believe a word of Qiu Tu's excuses.
However, she was satisfied with Qiu Tu's presence now, regardless of whether he was just making up a reason to brush her off.
