I gazed blankly at the high wall of the palace gate, feeling lost. When I left the palace, I had felt that Shui Zi Qiu was watching me from behind, but now that I had returned, it was terrifyingly desolate.
“Let’s go home,” Wei Luo’s pure white robe draped over me from behind, bringing a faint warmth to my cold heart. I thought he would leave after bringing me to the imperial city, but he stayed.
“Thank you!”
” This thanks came from the bottom of my heart, containing my gratitude and the promise I had once made to myself.
He wrapped his arm around my shoulder and laughed softly: “As long as you’re happy! Promise me that no matter what happens in the future, never regret, don’t regret, okay!” I heard him almost begging, and my heart trembled slightly.
This time, looking at his face, I smiled genuinely for the first time, a faint smile lifting the corners of my mouth.
“Let’s go home!” he repeated in my ear, holding my hand and walking towards his mansion.
It was several days later when I learned that Wei Luo’s wealth was actually more than the treasury of the Cang Kingdom. When he brought me to his mansion, everyone respectfully smiled at me, calling me “Mistress”. Hundreds of people were waiting to welcome us. I thought he must have arranged this in advance.
My treatment was even more luxurious than when I was a concubine in the Wuhen Mansion. With dedicated servants, whatever I wanted—Wei Luo would find a way to get it for me. He almost used every method to spoil me.”
But I knew in my heart that the more I was cherished now, the more terrifying things would be in the future. He was simply advancing all his future love to me in advance.
“Mistress, the master said he will give you a surprise today!” The clear voice of a maid behind me interrupted my wandering thoughts. She spoke with utmost respect.
I looked helplessly at the maid, sighing inwardly. Every day was filled with attempts to make me happy, and no matter how big the surprise was, I had become impossible to surprise.
