At this point, Alvin couldn’t say anything more, could he?

He finally nodded, "Alright, uncle, I understand, I’ll be leaving now."

"Yes." Nangong Tiancheng nodded, then turned to Li Hui and said, "Hui Niang, see Prince Alvin off."

"Yes." Li Hui nodded and then smiled at Alvin, "Let’s go, Prince Alvin, I’ll see you out."

"There’s no need to trouble yourself." Alvin lowered his head politely, "Uncle, Auntie, please take care of Xiaolin."

After speaking, Alvin glanced at Nangong Lin, then smiled, "Well, you have a good rest."

"Alright." Nangong Lin nodded, somewhat silent. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Alvin and John left, and only then did Nangong Lin look at Nangong Tiancheng, "Dad."

"This burden is heavy, isn’t it?" Nangong Tiancheng, usually not very talkative, looked at Nangong Lin seriously.

Nangong Lin was taken aback, then nodded, "Yes."

"My daughter." Nangong Tiancheng sat down and said seriously, "In this world, both men and women ultimately have to find a partner, start a family, have children, only then is life complete. But in this experience, it’s not just about love, there also needs to be responsibility and commitment, and one must be brave enough to undertake it.

As a woman, you are expected to marry and must not go against this principle. A man may give up a kingdom for a woman, but can a woman bear that burden? Even before you’re together, Alvin saying such things is clearly unrealistic. Not to mention Alvin’s parents wouldn’t allow it, even your mother and I wouldn’t agree.

A man must be like a man; he’s not your pet. If he were an ordinary person, it would be fine, but he’s a prince. He carries responsibilities, so it’s not that simple.

If you like him, if being with him makes you happy and joyful, if you’re willing to leave your hometown, your family, your friends, and trustingly give him the rest of your life, then you should trust him. If you want him to stay in the Empire for you, then you’re not trusting him. If you don’t trust him, how can you entrust your future to him?

If you don’t love him enough to give up your family and friends, it’s best not to give him any hope and decisively and rationally reject him."

It was rare for Nangong Tiancheng to speak so much, and after hearing his words, Nangong Lin remained silent.

She knew Nangong Tiancheng was serious, because Alvin was very serious.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I think." Nangong Lin said, "For him to give up his status as a prince, give up his country for me, I think that responsibility is too heavy for me to bear. Asking me to leave here for him, to let go of my free and easy life, I don’t think I can do it, at least not for now. He probably says these things because he’s too young."

"Youth is reckless." Nangong Tiancheng nodded, and then added, "But being young is why he’s sincere, so deep-seated. I see he’s not just saying these things lightly. Even if he’s young, he knows the responsibility these words carry, he’s willing to bear it. The question now is are you willing to bear it with him?"

"I..." Nangong Lin was silent, silent for a long time, and finally shook her head slowly, "I don’t dare to bear it."

Hearing Nangong Lin’s words, Nangong Tiancheng also fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Since you don’t dare to bear it, then you don’t. There’s nothing to be conflicted about."
