As his words fell, Feng Ruqing had already left, not giving him another chance to speak.
In five days, it would be her and Nan Xianâs wedding ceremony.
Nan Xian was not in the imperial city, and Hu Qing would not appear now. Then, there would surely be someone from Deities Gate coming for her!
She could not chase after Nan Xian, and she must stay and guard Liu Yun Kingdom for her family here!
***
Five days seemed to pass like flowing water.
It was as if what had happened on that day in the imperial city had been forgotten and was never mentioned again.
Everything was going just as planned, and those who came to attend the wedding ceremony had arrived in Liu Yun Kingdom one after another.
However, there was silence inside the princessâs manor, and even the spirit beasts rarely made any sound.
The bed curtain in the guest room was as bright as the red blood.
Feng Chen stood behind, quietly looking at the young girl in front of him. He seemed somewhat worried.
âQing Qing...â
The young manâs voice was as clear as spring water flowed through Feng Ruqingâs heart, causing her heart to shake gradually.
She slowly turned around and faced Feng Chen, standing at the door, with a sweet smile on her stunning face.
Her smile was absolutely beautiful.
âChenâer, how did you get here?â
Feng Chenâs gaze was filled with complex emotions. âTomorrow is your wedding ceremony... But he...â
âHeâs not back yet!â
âItâs fine...â Feng Ruqing smiled faintly. âI believe the state preceptor will return.â
âAnd...â She paused for a moment and continued, âNo matter what, the wedding ceremony must go on as planned!â
Perhaps Feng Ruqing would not have cared so much if the guests had not arrived yet. She knew that Hu Qing would not be that easy; he would definitely have another move to make!
Since the state preceptor had stepped out for her, she must guard this place! Let him have no worries!
âChenâer, Father and Mother are also worried about this matter these past few days. So you go and calm them down first then! I still have a lot of things to do.â
âAlright.â
The young manâs eyes were clear, and his smile was as bright as the morning light. âQing Qing, if youâre willing to believe in someone, Iâll believe in him too!
âAnd I am willing to accept the one that you love.â
âEven though I am so sad to let you go...
âEven if in this life... I can only stay by your side as your younger brother.
âAs long as you are safe and happy for the rest of your life... Thatâs enough for me...â
âChenâer...â Feng Ruqing stepped forward and gently embraced Feng Chen.
Feng Chen raised his hand and placed it on the young girlâs back.
âQing Qing, these days... I still have the same dream that I have had before. I always feel that weâve experienced countless hardships together. Iâve traveled the distance to this world to find you, but it doesnât matter, as long as youâre still here... Thatâs enough.â
The pain of losing her in his dream was too much for him to bear any longer.
âChenâer, you still havenât recalled?â Feng Ruqing looked up at Feng Chen in surprise.
Feng Chen seemed a little confused. âWhat?â
Feng Ruqing was slightly startled. She shook her head and smiled. âNothing... You donât have to think about it too much if you canât recall it. Those dreams donât need to be taken too seriously. No matter what has happened, as long as we stay together in this life, thatâs enough.â
