Lan Qiye appeared behind me at some point, sighing: “Indeed beautiful, but still slightly inferior to Jing Yue! If you really like seeing scenery, this Jing Yue journey will not disappoint you!”
“What Jing Yue journey?
Wei Chi’s voice, containing hidden anger, immediately responded: “Didn’t I tell you that I can accompany you anywhere? Why, why must you agree to go with him?”
“Shh—”
Afraid his voice would attract others’ attention, I hurriedly reminded him: “Keep your voice down. I naturally have my reasons for doing this. Can’t you just pretend not to know?”
Wei Chi looked at me uncomprehendingly: “You clearly hate him, right? Why suddenly change your mind and agree to go to Jing Yue with him? Tell me, did he threaten you?”
To prevent his wild guessing, I immediately shook my head and explained: “No, he didn’t threaten me. I requested this myself!”
“I don’t understand!”
Wei Chi’s gaze looked somewhat lost, but within that confusion was a hint of determination: “At least, please give me a reason why you must go!”
I slightly curled my lips, with an extremely simple reason: “Because he can help me find my way home!”
“Is he the only one who can?”
Wei Chi was first stunned, then a hurt look flashed in his ink-like deep pool eyes: “You know I can do anything for you!”
“But only he can truly help me!”
Although I didn’t want to cause hurt, some things were destined from the beginning. More importantly, I never intended to change anything!
So, hurt became inevitable…
“I’m sorry, Wei Chi!”
Although I knew I was apologetic, I still couldn’t help requesting: “I know you truly care about me, but for this matter, I hope you can pretend not to know and let me handle it myself. Okay?
I was suddenly stunned in place. By the time I reacted, Lan Qiye had already walked to the Emperor’s side. I was about to follow but was pulled back by Wei Chi. Turning around, I saw him looking worried and saying, “What exactly are you two up to?”
Before I could answer, I heard Lan Qiye’s admiring voice from the other side: “As expected of Cheng Yun Jing Du, truly prosperous and thriving, with beautiful scenery. This trip is truly worthwhile!”
