Chapter 263 - 261. I Will Be Their Mentor II (2/2)

”Ok,” Meiyun nodded her head.

Nevertheless, Di Shang was still skeptical about Weisheng's graciousness for giving Meitun such a freedom in the Royal Palace.

”Your Majesty Emperor, why are you so kind to us?” Di Shang asked without any refrain.

Weisheng lifted his eyes to look at him, ”Because I owed you and her a precious life.”

”A life?” Di Shang questioned with a visible puzzlement on his face.

Just when Weisheng was going to part his lips to answer Di Shang's puzzlement, Meiyun placed down her teacup and the clattering sound of the teacup's bottom collided with the marble table silenced both men.

”I will explain to you on the way home,” Meiyun spoke gently to Di Shang.

Then she turned to look at Weisheng and rose from her seat, ”To not disrupt Your Majesty Emperor any further, we will take our leave now. Please do enjoy the tea.”

Meiyun bowed to Weisheng and followed by Di Shang, together they left the Floating Lotus Pavilion with Meiyun holding tight Di Shang's arm for support. But just when they took a few steps away from the Floating Lotus Pavilion, a figure landed a step away from them.

The figure stood up straight and almost had the same height as Di Shang. His eyes were widened when he saw Meiyun was holding Di Shang's arm as if she was going to lose him.

”Young Madam Di, long time no see. Are you well?” Qiyi politely bowed his head with the corner of his lips arched into a soft smile.

A bitter taste swarmed Qiyi's mouth when he called Meiyun with an unfamiliar title. He couldn't believe that one day, he had to watch his loved one slowly being taken away from him, a thick wall gradually separated them. During that time, he kept reprimanded himself for being foolish and prideful. He couldn't blame anyone else except himself.

”Long time no see, Imperial Guard Qiyi. Thank you for your concern and yes, I am very healthy now. Oh, let me introduce my husband, Shang Tang from Di family, Di Shang Tang.” Meiyun smiled proudly as she could finally introduce Di Shang as her husband.

She wasn't by any means to brag but introducing Di Shang to people that he was her husband made an unknowing proudness bloomed inside her heart. But the tension between both men couldn't be unseen.

”Nice to meet you, Imperial Guard Qiyi.” Di Shang cupped his fist and formally greeted Qiyi.

”N-Nice to meet you too, General Di.” Qiyi greeted back with an awkward smile.

They greeted each other as if they hadn't met before. Because of their encounter when Meiyun was groped in a brothel, they didn't have a very good impression towards each other. Much less Di Shang as the man in front of him was the man who caused Meiyun to have major heartbreak.

But he was also thankful of Qiyi, if it was not because of him then he would never be able to enter into Meiyun's heart.

Meiyun noticed the strained atmosphere and chuckled to relieve the tension, ”Oh ahahaha~ Imperial Guard Qiyi, you must be looking for His Majesty Emperor. We talked with His Majesty Emperor just now and we are leaving. Hope we meet again in the future.” Meiyun bowed to Qiyi and tugged Di Shang along with her.

Di Shang gave Qiyi a quick glare before he turned to face Meiyun with a gentle smile plastered on his lips.

Meiyun glanced at him and asked, ”What are you laughing at?”

”Nothing, just glad that you are beside me.” Di Shang pecked Meiyun's head.

Meiyun's face instantly flushed into a deep red shade as there were servants that she acquainted with were watching them.

”Shut up!” Meiyun pulled Di Shang harder and walked quicker.

Di Shang laughed out loud and let himself being pulled by Meiyun. While they were having their fun time together, Qiyi diverted his eyes from the couple and mended is way to Weisheng.

”Regret?” A word escaped from Weisheng's lips all of a sudden.

Qiyi lowered his head and hummed, ”En.”
