"Bang!" Baili Yuechan forcefully swept her favorite tea set to the ground, but it was not enough to quell her anger. She slammed her hands on the table, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.
"Nangong Ziyan, Dongfang Yifei, I hate you, I hate you so much..."
Her voice, filled with pain and arrogance, conveyed a deep sorrow. No one could understand her pain, no one could sympathize with her, and in her most painful moment, no one could comfort her.
"Princess, if you hate someone so much, why not fight back fiercely?"
A gentle voice came from above, and Baili Yuechan suddenly raised her head and wiped away her tears. She didn't want anyone to see her crying.
"Ximen Ruiyun, who allowed you into my room?" Instantly, the princess's imposing manner returned, completely different from her previous pained expression.
"What? Princess, if Dongfang Yifei can come in, why can't I, the young master, come in?" Ximen Ruiyun entered uninvited and walked straight toward Baili Yuechan.
"Do you also want to get involved and get a piece of the pie?"
Baili Yuechan looked coldly at Ximen Ruiyun. There was no good man in this world, except for the man she loved, of course. But that man never gave her a gentle and doting look.
"Hmph! Does the princess think that I, the young master, have a chance to get a share of that soup?"
Ximen Ruiyun scoffed; he disdained to do such a thing.
"If Young Master Ximen is here to laugh at us, then please leave!"
Baili Yuechan said coldly, she was in no mood to talk to anyone right now.
"I am here to comfort the princess."
A simple and clear sentence made Baili Yuechan look at Ximen Ruiyun in surprise.
Ximen Ruiyun smiled gently and stepped closer to Baili Yuechan.
"Actually, I have been paying attention to the princess for a long time. I have always been attracted by the princess's maturity and beauty. Today, I happened to hear a noise coming from the princess's room when I came back, so I came up to check. Seeing the princess in so much pain, I couldn't help but come in. If I have disturbed the princess, please forgive me."
The gentle tone and slightly affectionate eyes made Baili Yuechan's eyes widen in surprise. This Ximen Ruiyun... she was too familiar with those eyes. Baili Yuechan had all sorts of suspicions in her heart. Ximen Ruiyun had never been a troublemaker. During this time, he had been quiet and had not done anything out of line.
"Princess, there's no need to overthink it. A graceful lady like Xu Yaotiao is sought after by gentlemen, and so am I. Does the princess still remember this fan?"
"Snap!" Ximen Ruiyun opened a folding fan, and a red plum blossom stood out on the white fan.
"You are...?" Baili Yuechan was so surprised that she took a few steps back. "You are the masked boy who killed the demonic beasts and saved me three years ago in the Western Sea Continent?"
Ximen Ruiyun smiled. "Princess, you have a good eye. It is indeed I, the young master. I didn't recognize you at all. If Nangong Ziyan hadn't mentioned the space ring on your hand today, I wouldn't have noticed it. Has the princess forgotten? At that time, the princess didn't get off the carriage and was wearing a veil. The princess only lifted the curtain with her hand. The only thing I could remember was this space ring. The princess usually wears wide sleeves, so I didn't notice it either."
He went to the port today upon hearing the news, but by the time he arrived, Nangong Ziyan had already calmed things down. He didn't get too close, so no one noticed him.
"Now that you've found me, what do you want?" Baili Yuechan's tone was much better. Three years ago, he saved her life, but because they were both busy traveling at the time, they missed each other.
"The princess's elegant figure and calm voice have always been unforgettable in my mind. What could I possibly do to her? It's nothing more than a lingering affection in my heart."
Ximen Ruiyun smiled bitterly and spoke his mind. This ambiguous relationship had been hidden in his heart for a long time. He wanted to take this opportunity to see if he could meet her again. However, the woman who had captivated him at first sight was actually Baili Yuechan. This world is truly small; he never dreamed it.
"so what?"
Baili Yuechan never imagined that there would be a man in this world who would remember her.
"So Ruiyun came to see the princess." Ximen Ruiyun sat down in the chair and said without hesitation. At this moment, he didn't understand his own feelings. When he saw the ring from his memory, he couldn't help but impulsively come to find her.
"Go away! I don't want to see you in this state." Baili Yuechan turned her eyes away, not wanting to look at him. Back then, it was just a fleeting glance, and she didn't remember him.
"I'll stay here with you for a while! We can talk again once you've calmed down."
Ximen Ruiyun gazed at her with long, unfocused eyes, his mind a jumble of thoughts... Perhaps this was a wrong beginning, but since his heart had already begun, would it also be a wrong ending...?
As soon as Nangong Ziyan returned to the young master's mansion, she summoned Sima Jiaorong and Tian Nanxing. The whole family gathered together again, and Nangong Ziyan couldn't wait to take out the jade pendant that Wuguzi called Blood Linglong and put it on the table.
“Master, Mother, Father, have you ever heard of Blood Jade? Wuguzi said that this jade pendant is Blood Jade.”
After Nangong Ziyan finished speaking, she looked at them with expectant and shining eyes, shouting in her heart, "Baby, it must be baby."
To her disappointment, both Sima Jiaorong and Nangong Yuze shook their heads.
Nangong Ziyan pouted, and then suddenly turned her gaze to Tian Nanxing.
"Master, what about you?"
"I've heard a tiny bit about it."
