Qi Chenxuan snorted lightly, continuing to act cool: “This is what you said yourself, I hope you remember!”
“Of course!”
I nodded firmly: “Such a boring thing as feelings, I’m not interested in touching for now, but I also hope that Your Highness the Crown Prince can be quick about getting the woman you like, and don’t make me look down on you!”
Qi Chenxuan slightly raised his chin, his thin lips tightly pressed, and after a long pause, he said without gratitude: “I have my own measure in my affairs, and I don’t need you to worry!”
I curled my lips disdainfully and said angrily: “Do you think I’m eager to manage your affairs? If it weren’t related to my freedom and whether I can return to modern times, I couldn’t care less about how you’re progressing!”
“Fei Xiaoran!”
After a long silence, he suddenly called my name.
“Here!”
I almost reflexively responded.
But after the warmth, only surprise remained. After a moment of brain freeze, I couldn’t help but blink and look at him stupidly: “What did you just call me?”
He continued to maintain his cool face: “Aren’t you called Fei Xiaoran? What, did I remember incorrectly?”
“No, no!” I immediately shook my head excitedly: “I am indeed Fei Xiaoran. So, you’re willing to believe what I said? Believe that I’m from modern times, believe that I’m not who I was?”
…
After placing the flowers, I had three maids set up frames along the heart shape and hang red lanterns, with some also around the bamboo house. In my mind, I imagined how beautiful it would look when lit…
These two arrangements took me almost an entire afternoon. As the sky gradually turned dusky, I simply had the maids light the lanterns. The weak candlelight, filtering through the red gauze, swayed in the wind, casting a red glow across the entire cherry garden.
“Wow, how beautiful!”
Zi’er couldn’t help but exclaim: “Madam, how did you think of this? It’s truly amazing!
I looked satisfyingly at my creation and smiled mysteriously: “There’s something even more impressive coming. Just wait and see!”
The three maids immediately gathered around, eagerly asking: “What’s so impressive? Madam, tell us now!”
I deliberately teased: “Don’t ask. You’ll naturally know when the time comes!”
