Chapter 273 (2/2)

”Wan-er knew it. My lord's heart still has Wan-er.”

Ning Yuxuan's body stiffened. He turned his head and looked at the room behind them.

Wen Wan raised her head and looked at him as she said, ”I was feeling really sad today. I thought you had forgotten all of the beautiful memories that we had shared together. But, you actually remembered it all.”

Marquis Moyu, ”...”

”These lanterns, aren't they the same ones that were released during a Qixi Festival?” Wen Wan looked at the lanterns that Guibai was still releasing into the sky. With tears in her eyes, she smiled and said, ”Back then, we were just getting to know each other. I called you a lecherous skirt-chaser, but you didn't get angry. You wrote my name on lanterns and released them by my room for me see.”

(T/N: Qixi Festival is a festival celebrating the annual meeting of the cowherd and weaver girl in Chinese mythology. It's also called Chinese Valentine's Day.)

Behind them, Ji Man listened to their conversation. She let out a m.u.f.fled laugh. Wen Wan was amazingly delusional. She thought that her love was still reciprocated. Still, this presented her an opportunity to gracefully withdraw from the situation. Ah, what a good night. They could look at the sky lanterns and also look at the snow. They could talk about life and the past as well.

Hugging Ning Yuxuan's waist and with her face pressed against his chest, she mumbled, ”Wan-er is truly feeling very sadly lately. It feels like your eyes and heart only has Nie Sangyu now. Wan-er had said this in the past, if you dare to fall in love with someone else, I'll also dare to leave you.”

Ning Yuxuan's lips twitched. He didn't raise his arms to hug her back and only noncommittally said, ”En.” In the pa.s.sing, he kicked the door behind him.

”En?” Wen Wan let go of him and looked at the door. ”What's wrong?”

”It's nothing,” Ning Yuxuan's tone was light. ”I just find this door very unpleasing right now. It's normally very useful, but at the critical points, it'll get stuck.”

Ji Man was stumped for words. She pressed her lips together.

Wen Wan angrily said, ”Why are you suddenly talking about a door...”

Looking at the lanterns in the sky, she asked, ”My lord, how long are you going to make Wan-er wait?”

Ning Yuxuan stopped talking again.

Ji Man silently heckled. Dear sisters, when you reached the point in your relations.h.i.+p when a man won't even be willing to make a promise to you, you should hurry and run away. A man that only offered you empty promises was a sc.u.m, but if a man wouldn't even say words of commitment, then it meant his mind wasn't planning a future with you.

Feeling numbness in her feet, Ji Man stood up to rub her legs. She thought for a moment before she pulled open the doors.

”My lord, as long as you promise that your heart only has Wan-er in the future, then no matter how long it takes, Wan-er will wait...”

Before Wen Wan could find the rest of her sentence, the doors behind them suddenly opened, and a woman came out.

Frightened, Wen Wan screamed, ””Ahhh!” She hurriedly hid between Ning Yuxuan's arms. ”What is that creature?!”

Ji Man gave them a very sweet smile, then she looked at Ning Yuxuan and said, ”My lord, this servant is cheering for you to do your best and will leave here first.”
