Wei Chi immediately asked nervously: “Where are you going?”
I suddenly felt somewhat lost, pursing my lips and shaking my head: “Nothing, just want to walk around casually.”
Wei Chi asked caringly: “Then… shall I accompany you?”
“No!”
I immediately shook my head and refused: “No need. I want to be alone for a moment. Thank you for saving me again last night. If there’s a chance, I’ll repay all the kindness I owe you!”
A gentle breeze blew across my face, stirring the long hair behind me, and my heart suddenly felt much clearer…
Just as I thought I was about to leave, a sudden force pulled me from behind, and I was drawn into a broad chest.
I quickly opened my eyes, looking at him in surprise: “Do you know what you’re saying?”
In front of me, Qi Chenxuan firmly raised his hand: “I, Qi Chenxuan, swear to the heavens that in this lifetime, I will only marry Fei Xiaoran. When I ascend to the throne, the six palaces will have no concubines, only one empress. If I break this oath, may I live a lonely life!”
I stared in disbelief, urgently pulling down his hand: “Qi Chenxuan, have you gone mad?”
No concubines, only one empress…
Such a vow would probably move any woman!
Qi Chenxuan shook his head without hesitation: “I’m not crazy. I let Qinghan go before because I didn’t love deeply or firmly enough. I will never make the same mistake again. I must do everything to keep you, to make you understand my determination!”
All my resistance crumbled in an instant. I thought I could hold firm, not be moved, but my heart involuntarily fell to his oath!
Qi Chenxuan’s black eyes shone with a pleading light, looking at me expectantly: “Give me a chance. Promise to stay by my side. If I can’t keep my promise, you can leave anytime!”
I knew I shouldn’t agree, because losing this time might mean losing everything. But his gaze was so sincere, so eager, that I suddenly couldn’t find a reason to refuse. I involuntarily nodded.
Qi Chenxuan immediately showed a joyful expression, embracing me: “Thank you, Ran’er, thank you for being willing to stay. I will never let you down!”
