"Are you really going to come to Dali with me? Really? Really? You're not lying to me."

Hearing Chen Nian's words, Xiao Yanzi's eyes lit up with surprise.

"How's it going? I'll go to Dali with you, aren't you excited?"

Chen Nian nodded very seriously to Xiao Yanzi.

"So happy, so happy, ahhh, Nian Nian, I love you to death."

Overjoyed to receive Shen Nian's affirmation, Xiao Yanzi wanted to give Shen Nian a loving kiss.

Seeing Xiao Yanzi's intention, Ertai's eyelids twitched violently. He winked at Yongqi, and then, in perfect unison, reached out and pulled away his beloved.

"mine."

Meeting Xiao Yanzi's defiant gaze, Ertai raised an eyebrow, then leaned down and kissed Chen Nian's face, asserting his dominance with an air of self-righteousness.

He was already very generous to let Xiao Yanzi hold his wife for so long.

He still wants to kiss his wife? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Having finally left the capital, free from Saiya, Qing'er, and Xinrong who were vying for his affections, he was now facing Xiao Yanzi's challenge to take her away, and he refused to give her up.

He now has the right to openly and legitimately possess his wife.

Little Swallow: ...

Aaaaaah! She and Ertai are sworn enemies!

She then looked at Chen Nian with a wronged expression.

What are you doing?

Having fully accepted Xiao Yanzi's grievances, Chen Nian gave Ertai a very polite glare.

"In the capital, I had to fight with so many people for you. Now that we're out of the capital, even Little Swallow wants to fight me for you. Don't you feel sorry for your husband?"

Ertai, who had been outmaneuvered by Xiaoyanzi, remarked that anyone could feign pitifulness.

Ertai's fair and handsome face immediately showed a pitiful expression.

"Alright, alright, let's go, we should get going."

Even though Chen Nian knew Ertai was faking it, she still gently coaxed him.

"Um."

The four men mounted their horses, their shadows stretching long, carried by the rising sun, and set off together towards the distant place they longed for.
