She had only been eager to advance her marriage with Murong Changfeng because she wanted to mask the pain.

Gradually, as time pa.s.sed, she selectively forgot about the man who incited excruciating pain in her whenever she thought of him, just as she had deliberately forgotten about the truth of her mother’s death…

As her memories began to resurface, she failed to notice the figure approaching her from nearby.

Yet, many others did notice the commotion, and as they turned to look, their eyes were filled with awe and astonishment.

With only a blank expression, the charming Baili Jia Jue held onto the bouquet of roses in his hand, a lone figure with his gaze fixed upon the man standing across Helian Wei Wei. Very swiftly, his intense eyes darkened.

Helian Wei Wei’s limbs began to stiffen as if her body was no longer hers to command. With clenched fists, she tried to contain the overwhelming heaviness she was feeling.

“Wei Wei.”

Whenever Helian Wei Wei revisited the past, she could not help but feel sort of carried away by it. If it had not been for the familiar voice that called on her, she would have already drifted away.

Swiftly, she came to her senses and grounded herself firmly in her own body, turning toward the source of the voice.

The red color of the roses set against the backdrop of His Highness holding them revealed an inexplicable kind of captivation that was beautiful beyond words.

However…

Why is Baili Jia Jue carrying roses?

Moreover, his facial expression seems unhappy?

Before Helian Wei Wei could utter a word, someone had already wrapped his hand around her waist and placed the roses into her hand with something that resembled a smile but not quite.

Puzzled, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. His Highness was the hardest to read when he was in this kind of mood. Cough! Perhaps it was time to say something.

“Is this for me?”

“Mmhmm.”

“The roses are beautiful, I love them.” Whatever it was, she would indulge him first.

Baili Jia Jue glanced at Wei Wei while leaning closer to gently tuck a few strands of hair behind her ears with his long and slender fingers. In a deep and devious voice, he whispered, “Then you can think about how you’re going to make it up to me later.”

Helian Wei Wei’s hand fidgeting over the roses froze and the tips of her ears reddened.

Seeing her like this, the iciness in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes melted slightly, “The Clan Meeting should be over by now, when will you be leaving?”

“Are you here to pick me up?” Helian Wei Wei tried to hide her glee as a smile shone on her face. “Well, we can leave now. I’ve got some matters to discuss with Imperial Grandfather anyway.” While talking, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and looked at Chi Yan, “Thank you, General Chi, for saving me in the past. Whatever offensive words Wei Wei may have said once upon a time, I hope that you allow it to slide. Back then, I was young and I had an overactive imagination.”

Chi Yan looked at her with meaningful eyes and replied slowly, “I’ve never thought of it as offensive.”

Uh…What does that mean?

How was she supposed to reply to that?

Intuitively, Helian Wei Wei turned toward Baili Jia Jue and found herself mesmerized by his breathtakingly handsome side profile as the charming smile on his face widened.

Yet, Helian Wei Wei was not convinced that his smile was out of joy. Someone like His Highness would never smile like that when he was truly joyful.

As expected.

Baili Jia Jue held her even closer as he looked intently at Chi Yan and with amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice, he said, “In the future, it’d be best to stop those random thoughts, lest someone take it seriously. Imagine how disastrous that would be to settle, don’t you agree, Master Chi?”

Little Seventh Prince, who happened to be listening from the side, honestly thought that his Third Brother’s sharp tongue had improved. He would have to be obedient in the future, otherwise, he would be the next victim of his sharp tongue.
