Chapter 442 - Challenges 1 (2/2)

What? Ji Man calmed down too after seeing his unfl.u.s.tered expression. She looked away and said, ”I do...”

”If you trust me, come with me.” Ning Yuxuan smiled and said, ”I wouldn't harm you.”

Of course, she knew that he wouldn't harm her. He was someone that had foolishly said he loved her and wanted her to leave at the critical juncture. Ji Man sighed. Since she wouldn't be able to stop him, she might as well get in touch with her older brother and have him bring soldiers to the training grounds to guard Ning Yuxuan?

However, Ning Yuxuan didn't give her the time to do this. He pulled her to the carriage, and they boarded.

Inside the carriage, Marquis Moyu looked at her empty hands and somewhat unhappily asked, ”Didn't you say that you were going to give me a cloak? Were you lying?”

Ji Man quickly explained, ”No. It's because if I give you that cloak, I might really go back to heaven and disappear from here. That's why I'm not going to give you that cloak anymore.”

Ning Yuxuan turned his head and tugged her hand over. ”If you decide to go back one day, tell me first. Don't suddenly disappear.”

”Okay.” Ji Man's heart felt slightly heavy.

She had already returned to modern-day, the place that she had been longing for her. But when she went back, she didn't know why, she ended up sorrowfully crying. It felt as if her world had turned into a cage.

She had discovered that she had been influenced by Nie Sangyu without being aware of it. She had fallen in love with a person that was full of this evil era's male chauvinism.

However, if you wanted wealth, that person had it. If you wanted power, that person had that too. If you want an attractive face, that person had it all. She was the one doing social climbing. Other than having to face some challenges as his woman and undertaking the pressure of living in a polygamous society, everything else was pretty good.

There was no such thing as a perfect romance. You simply had to figure out how to fix those flaws. Since she had decided to stay here and write out their ending together, from now, she wouldn't allow herself to easily give up.

Ji Man took a deep breath and tightened her hold on Ning Yuxuan's hand.

There were still challenges waiting ahead of them.

When they walked to the training grounds' entrance, the civil and military officials were already streaming to the stands. It was exactly like the previous scene. Ji Man felt somewhat agitated.

After the required ceremonial steps were over, the emperor ordered for the troops to depart. Once again, Ji Man grabbed this opportunity to approach Marquis Moyu.

However, this time, she didn't have a cloak to give him. She could only awkwardly stand there and look at him.

”Is there something that you want to say?” Ning Yuxuan lightly smiled as he looked at her.

Ji Man cleared her throat. After thinking it over, she decided to act more brazenly. Half-kneeling down in front Ning Yuxuan, she lifted up his hand and softly kissed the back of his hand.

”My lord, this servant vows to be you for the rest of my life. Together in life and death and through any adversity.” Ji Man raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were bright as she said, ”No matter how long my lord is away, this servant will wait in the capital for you until you return home with honor.”
