Seeing him about to approach, Mei Siyu abandoned Wan’er and fled. Don’t blame her for not rescuing her – after all, she lacked athletic ability and would fall after just a few steps. One must look out for oneself, and for self-preservation, she could only ignore Wan’er, hoping she wouldn’t hold a grudge!
She ran at full speed, not daring to slow down even after going far, desperately sprinting through winding corridors. “Ouch, that hurts!” Mei Siyu crashed into a “wall”, clutching her nose in annoyance and grumbling, “Who’s wandering around at night, scaring people?”
“Oh, it’s you. How coincidental, you always like nighttime wandering!” The person she bumped into said gently.
“Well, no, I just had something important that delayed my return,” she said, wondering why she always embarrasses herself when he’s around.
Ming Lengchen watched her with interest, observing her panic. He knew he shouldn’t think about her, shouldn’t love her – she was a mysterious woman destined to be beyond his reach. Yet he couldn’t control his thoughts, unable to stop noticing every detail about her – her good points, her flaws, her playfulness, her quirkiness, her thick-skinned nature. All of these had made him obsessed, crazy enough to love her irrationally, disregarding ethics and norms!
Is this really so difficult to answer? Looking at his expression, he seems so troubled! It seems that revealing one’s identity is not a wise move at all, look, the last lifeline is now gone.
“Well, I’ll take you out when there’s a chance, as long as you’re still willing then.” After a long internal struggle, he finally confirmed his intentions and made a reply that satisfied himself. No matter what the future holds, he couldn’t care less. Everyone knows that the eighth brother doesn’t like Mei Siyu, so let him bring happiness to the woman before him. She deserves him to brave fire and water, give up all glory and wealth, and relinquish vague power.
“I’m so happy!” Mei Siyu was so emotionally excited that she involuntarily wrapped her arms around Mu Lengyun’s neck, stood on tiptoe, and lightly kissed his face. She didn’t know that this action made Mu Lengyun even more gratified by his own choice!
