C41 (1/2)

Yun Duan gently pushed him out of his embrace. Her black eyes smiled as she looked at him and asked somewhat helplessly, ”When did I say that I wanted to marry you?”

”…”

Xuan Hong raised his eyebrows as if he was acting shamelessly, ”I don't care. I'll be sure of you for the rest of my life anyway!”

Yun Duan's black eyes darkened. This fool, what did he mean by believing her in this life?

He clearly knew that she was now an emperors of ten thousand dynasties. Even if she was just a puppet, she was still a high and mighty emperors to the rest of the world. How could she possibly be married off?

”Do you love me?”

Yun Duan asked with a slight smile. She hadn't known Xuan Hong for long, yet this person had already confirmed her identity. This really made her smile bitterly.

Hearing Yun Duan's words, Xuan Yan's face became serious, his eyebrows became deep, and he said seriously, ”Love!”

If he didn't love her, why would he come over to congratulate her on her accession to the throne? If he didn't love her, then how could he worry about her these past few months?

Yun Duan's expression froze as he looked at Xuan Hong in disbelief. How was this possible?

”You're surprised, aren't you? I'm surprised too, but it's the truth! ” When he came to the Myriad Temple and met her again, his heart was in turmoil, and then it became uncontrollable. He wanted to do his best to suppress her, but it seemed to be completely useless.

He had never hidden his feelings. If there was one, there was one. If there was one, there was one. If there was one, there was one. He loved her. This was an indisputable fact.

Yun Duan lowered her gaze. After thinking for a moment, she opened her mouth, ”You know it's impossible!”

”How is that impossible? How do you know it's impossible without trying?”

Yun Duan shook her head, her voice low and hoarse. She didn't want to lie to him. ”Xuan Hong, I don't love you!”

Since ancient times, mutual consent had always been the best. If one party paid the price while the other party was completely oblivious, that would only lead to fatigue and pain.

”Even if you don't love me, you can't stop me from loving you!”

”…”

Yun Duan felt helpless. Why was this person so stubborn?

”Since he has already taken this seat, the most important thing is to stabilize himself. Although Emperor Chen did not hand over the authority to you, he still has to rely on you. The outside world is still yours, no matter how capable Emperor Chen is, he will not be able to hold on for long!”

Besides, he couldn't joke around with his world. Yun Duan was the best candidate, so the power would fall into her hands sooner or later.

Yun Duan nodded, hoping that this was the case.

As the sky gradually darkened, Xuanhong was called away by the other ministers. Qin Ni ordered the servants to take the leftover dinner. She looked at Yun Duan who was propping her head up and asked with concern, ”Master, do you have something on your mind?”

Today, after the young masters of the mountain had left, their master had always been depressed, and had also casually taken a few sips of his dinner. After today, after the young masters of the mountain had left, their master had always been depressed, and had also casually taken a few sips of his dinner.

Yun Duan waved his hand. ”Nothing much!”

Qin Nei sighed. At this point, he could only take a step forward.

Deep into the night, Yun Duan fell asleep. In her dreams, she was still as heart wrenching as ever. There had never been any peace.

On top of the Cloud Valley, the night was dark, and thick fog lingered over the entire valley, as if it was a paradise.

By the river bank in front of the bamboo house, a man was gently blowing a dark green Xiao, his face was cold, his eyebrows were deep like a painting, and his entire body was indifferent. The moon in the sky was shining brightly, and the faint light penetrated through the clouds and covered the man's body, causing his white clothes to become even more snow-white.

The animals in the mountains were silent, not making a single sound. After a short while, a few blood foxes ran out from the fog, and the bright red color of the foxes burned like fire. The man's gaze was ethereal and calm, as if he was looking into the distance, but also lost in thought.

The blood fox circled around him, but it was not noisy.

The night sky above the Cloud Valley was akin to a fairyland in the sky. That person, that object, that scene, they were all as unreachable as if they were unreachable, untouchable, untouchable.

Snow started to fall from the sky on and off. Clouds rose up every morning before dawn, especially on such a gloomy snowy day. It was as if nothing could be seen on the outside.

”Mistress, this is the new style of the kitchen for today. Please have a taste!” Qin Ni brought Yun Duan to the table and sat her down. She carefully pushed the dessert and porridge towards her and also ordered a bowl of noodles. They were still covered in shredded meat, but its taste was ever-changing.

Yun Duan glanced at the pastries and immediately brought the noodles over and began to eat them slowly.

Since he left the government, he had always been following behind Emperor Chen. Now that Emperor Chen had retreated, he rarely appeared.
