Then, his gaze met Gu Shengyin's somewhat displeased eyes.
Realizing that staring so openly at a noble lady was exceedingly impolite, Long Xiao lowered his gaze slightly.
"Her Highness the Eldest Princess's divine beauty made me lose my propriety. I humbly ask for Her Highness's forgiveness."
Any woman, upon hearing praise of her appearance, would be delighted.
Especially when the compliment comes from a remarkably handsome man.
Sure enough, Gu Shengyin's complexion slightly improved upon hearing this, although she still did not break into a smile.
She glanced at Long Xiao, walked over, and sat down by herself.
"Did you clearly hear what I just said?"
Long Xiao blinked and said, "The life-saving grace of Her Highness the Eldest Princess, I am deeply grateful."
Gu Shengyin laughed lightly after hearing this: "Is that all?"
Just a single thank you?
Does he truly think Gu Shengyin's favor is so cheap?
