"Ranran, you are clearly trying to exonerate them. Since you are pleading for them, I shall double their punishment." How could Chu Hengyuan not know what those men were thinking? They were trying to get on Ranran's good side, knowing full well she had a soft spot for them. He would not allow them to succeed. He could be completely wrapped around Aran’s finger, but he would not permit others to seek shade under her tree.
"Ranran, you must remember that I can tolerate anything you do, and I would sacrifice everything for you, but I will not allow you to give too much of your time or attention to others." Chu Hengyuan was not only speaking to Aran but also using these words to warn his subordinates.
"My dear brothers, you know how stubborn the Prince is. Even if I speak well of you, it’s no use. I’m sorry that my interference has caused you trouble." Aran shrugged, signaling that she couldn’t reason with Chu Hengyuan either.
