âThree months later.â
Feng Tianyu felt frustrated. Ever since his daughter found the state preceptor, she had tossed her father aside and now only had eyes for the state preceptor.
Yet, when faced with Feng Ruqing, he could not voice his rejections at all.
âMake Nan Xian leave for now and after three months, I will host a wedding ceremony for the two of you.â
This was as far as he could back down.
At least for three months, he did not want to see this bastard who had kidnapped his precious daughter!
Nan Xian smiled calmly.
He walked to Feng Ruqingâs side, his charming face seemed to be covered in a layer of warm light. âIâll wait for you at the princessâs manor.â
âOkay.â Feng Ruqing smiled as she replied.
Her father was already exasperated. If the state preceptor continued to stay, her father just might die from rage.
Nan Xian raised his head to look at Feng Tianyu. âFor over ten years, youâve been taking care of Qingâer. From here on, I will take good care of her and the child within her in your place. I wonât ever let her be harmed again.â
No matter the situation, Feng Tianyu was still Feng Ruqingâs father. So, Nan Xian remained respectful toward him.
He hoped that Feng Tianyu could see his resolution as well and hand Qingâer to him after three months.
After giving his word, Nan Xian turned and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Feng Tianyu was gasping for air out of anger as he pointed furiously after Nan Xian. âYanâer, did you see that? The state preceptor was provoking me, he was actually provoking!â
To even provoke him before he left meant that this bastard did not respect him as Feng Ruqingâs father!
Nalan Yan tried to soothe Feng Tianyu. âDonât worry, the wedding ceremony will be prepared by us after all. We could just delay it a bit to make him anxious. Oh, right, donât let Qingâer know about this, she might get upset.â
Feng Ruqing, who was standing quietly beside him, had no words.
Could they not talk about such a scary thing right in front of the person that involved herself?
âFather, Mother...â Feng Ruqing rearranged her expression. âItâs late, I should return to my room.â
After saying that, she walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to chase after the state preceptor.
Feng Chen too followed her out and disappeared from the hall.
***
In the palace courtyard.
Among the tall buildings.
Feng Ruqing had just walked out when she heard a lively voice call out to her from behind.
The voice carried the vigor of youth.
âQingqing...â
Feng Ruqing stopped. She turned back and saw the young man standing in front of her.
The young man had a handsome face with a pinkish scar at the corner of his eyes. It had been there for a long time, so the color had faded to a very light shade.
His eyes were clear like water as if she could see her own reflection in them.
âChenâer, arenât you keeping father and mother company? Why did you follow me out?â
Feng Chen suddenly went over and gave Feng Ruqing a tight hug.
Feng Ruqing was stunned before putting her hands on Feng Chenâs back.
âQingqing, I keep wondering if weâve actually known each other before. Otherwise... why would there be me and another person just like you in my dreams?
âBut, I know that no matter what happens, as long as youâre safe and healthy, that would be enough for me...â
âChenâer...â Feng Ruqingâs heart shuddered. She lifted her head to look at the young man.
His smile was dazzling, radiant like the sun.
He would be this way only in front of her.
âIf he bullies you in the future...â The young man paused. âIâm willing to let myself be doomed for an eternity to avenge you! No one can bully you, no one!â
