Chapter 488: The Future is in My Hands! (1/2)

Bai Luochu saw the expression on his face and she couldn’t control her laughter, “Pffft, why are you making that face? Are you jealous that I went to talk to another woman behind your back?”

“Nonsense!” Pei Qingfeng turned his gaze and stared into the distance as though she had caught him doing something bad.

“Let’s go back.” Raising her foot, Bai Luochu started to walk away.

Pei Qingfeng followed behind her and the image of a refined prince disappeared as though it was never there to begin with. “Sure! Let’s go back and set a date for the marriage!”

“What are you talking about! I didn’t even promise to be your wife! Are you so sure I will accept your marriage proposal?”

Bai Luochu felt a little helpless. As soon as I give him an inch, he will reach for a yard… Humph!

“Whatever… Even if I don’t say it, our relationship won’t change. I already rejected all sorts of marriage proposals for you. Even the one with Ao Xue! My father and the elders in the sect already accepted you as my wife. Even if you want to run, you won’t be able to!”

“Are you so sure? Do you think that I won’t be able to vanish in a puff of smoke and disappear before your eyes?”

Pei Qingfeng became flustered when he heard her subtle threat. “Luoluo, if you’re not willing to get married now, we can always wait. I’m not in a rush. Please don’t do anything silly…” If she were to really disappear from the face of the earth, Pei Qingfeng wouldn’t know what to do. If she really didn’t want to get married to him, he would at least be able to see her everyday.

Bai Luochu started to giggle but it became a full blown laughter in a matter of seconds, “HAHAHA! Look at you! You really think that I’m going to leave you? Aren’t you going back to write a letter to invite your father here for the proposal? What are you waiting for? If all the messenger pigeons lose their way in the dark, are you going to be responsible for it?”

Bai Luochu quickly ran towards the Palace of Brilliance Resurgence after speaking, leaving Pei Qingfeng behind. After a long while, Pei Qingfeng snapped back to his senses and realized that she was merely making fun of him. He quickly chased behind her and lightly tapped her head.

“Luoluo, why are you getting more and more playful?”

Bai Luochu wasn’t willing to let him do as he wished and quickly fought back with her words. “Ling King, there is a saying that goes, ‘Those who handle cinnabar have their hands stained red and those who work with ink have their hands stained black’. I’m who I am now because I interact closely with a hooligan everyday. Furthermore, you should be extremely clear about his identity…”

…

On the other hand, Su Luoqing had already returned to the inner palace. She was thinking about Bai Luochu’s advice as she couldn’t understand what she was talking about.

“What does she mean by cherishing the people around me?” Su Luoqing looked at the almost ancient jewelry on her table and stared at it for a moment. After snapping out of it, she decided to bury it somewhere. After all, it was time for her to move on in life.

She recalled that the piece was given to her by the then Empress Dowager when she was still a child. She developed a certain fondness for the pretty little piece and she ran around the entire garden while holding onto it. Because of a slight moment of carelessness, she fell and scraped her knee. As she sat on the ground crying, no one came to help her. She wasn’t allowed to bring her own maids into the palace and the palace maids didn’t know who this little girl was and refused to help her.

No one came forward to help her no matter how loudly she cried.

All of a sudden, Pei Qingfeng appeared before her and he helped her up. It was as though she met her prince charming and he spoke to her in an extremely gentle voice, “Are you alright?”
