Introduction: Xiao Bai + Lei Wen
“Yan’er, don’t cry. In the previous life, you stayed by my side, and I gave you endless pain. But what I wanted to see was your smile when you were with Cang Lian. Yet at that time, you were stingy even with a hint of a smile. Yan’er, don’t cry! I think in this life I have achieved something; at least I have left a trace in your heart, right? Can I be greedy and ask you to grant me the next life, where I completely occupy Cang Lian’s position, where you belong only to me?”
“Yan’er, I don’t want to forcibly squeeze my shadow into your heart. In the previous life, you said I had responsibilities to the world so I couldn’t love you, but in this life I have already laid down my responsibilities, yet you still don’t love me. Perhaps for me, this is the best ending. You promised me the next life, you gave me hope, so my future days will have anticipation. If Yan’er cannot entrust her heart to me in this life, then let me leave! In the next life, if I am no longer the king of Cang Kingdom, if I no longer have responsibilities, will Yan’er finally love me?”
Chapter 1 Negotiation (1)
“Ah!” A piercing scream completely pulled me back from my dream. I struggled to open my tired eyes, trying to find the source of the sound.
I struggled to open my eyes, looking at the woman wailing before me.
I frowned, looking at her angrily, my dissatisfaction reaching its peak.
“Madam, please be quiet! I was organizing diplomatic materials until four in the morning yesterday. I finally could sleep for a few hours, and you’re howling like a ghost here? Can people even rest!”
The chicken-headed madam turned around sadly, softly saying: “Yan’er, when does your diplomatic schedule start?”
I raised an eyebrow in surprise: “One o’clock!” Without any pause, I lazily said, puzzled by her question.
The woman before me is my high school, college, and work best friend. Seeing her expression like a disappointed daughter-in-law, I felt inexplicable frustration, struggling to keep my fighting eyelids open.
“Xin, what’s wrong?” I said lazily, too lazy to even lift my eyelids.
