Literallyyyyyy I feel like he doesn’t actually ‘love’ her. And honestly I feel like that the whole crush thing was kinda forced ngl Xiang
Literally he doesn’t love her, being the sky man he is, he saw how the ML changed and was able to escape his shadow from Betty cuz of the MC so now he’s saying he wants her too and I’m def assuming it’s cuz he wants to be free from that betty girl smh smh like leave my man and woman aloneeee
The grand duke saying they grew closer to each other when all he’s done was third-wheeling
