Chapter 327: Don’t Give Up What You Treasure
When the letter from Emperor Nan Xin to Li Tianzhuo was delivered to him, ten days had passed.
During these ten days, Li Tianzhuo put aside almost all his affairs and just accompanied Deng Youning and the Han family in Luoxia City to eat, drink and have fun.
Everyone would take turns telling Deng Youning about the past to help her recover her memory of Li Tianzhuo as soon as possible.
But even without that memory, Deng Youning would fall in love with him again.
After the meal, almost everyone was drunk.
Li Tianzhuo, who had the best alcohol tolerance, looked at everyone who was almost drunk and longed for such a carefree and comfortable life.
His father wrote to him urging him to go back, but he really didn't want to go back at all. After returning, he would no longer be Li Tianzhuo, but Prince Changle.
Noticing that Deng Youning was also a little drunk and was lazily lying on the table, drowsy, he took off his coat and put it on her.
But unexpectedly, she woke her up.
"If you're tired, go back to your room and sleep. I'll take you back."
Li Tianzhuo wanted to help Deng Youning up, but was rejected by Deng Youning.
"I'm not sleepy. I want to continue drinking. We are all here today. We will leave tomorrow. I'm afraid I don't know how long I will have to wait next time we are all here. I have to drink to my heart's content."
Deng Youning spoke while half drunk and half awake.
She can actually drink a lot, but this time, she couldn't bear to leave everyone, and she had some things in her mind that she couldn't figure out, so she got drunk even though she wasn't drunk.
It is exactly as she said, we will be separated tomorrow.
Deng Youning and Deng Yan'an have been in Nanxin Country for seven or eight months, and they must go back.
Han Xinxin wanted to expand her business to Yuncheng, and the seriously injured Han Xian also needed to stay and recuperate, so they didn't leave for the time being.
What troubles Deng Youning is her own inner thoughts which she cannot understand at the moment.
She also wants to stay...
But why stay?
Now she seemed to have the answer, which was the person in front of her, Li Tianzhuo!
Even if I forget him, I can still fall in love with him again.
Even she herself felt that it was unreasonable and out of control.
Thinking that Ningning would leave tomorrow, Li Tianzhuo also felt extremely reluctant to let her go.
"Ning Ning...you...you can go back without worry. I promise I won't let you wait too long. I will definitely go back to find you. Then, we can be together forever."
Li Tianzhuo originally wanted to ask Deng Youning if he could stay.
But after thinking it over again and again, he knew that he could not be so selfish, so he changed his words temporarily.
Deng Youning smiled bitterly.
If there is a rating for this, it must be A.
It was beautiful, but not what she wanted to hear.
"Azhuo, do you really want me to leave?"
Deng Youning couldn't help it and asked herself.
"No, how could it be possible?"
Li Tianzhuo retorted quickly without any hesitation, but soon the light in his pupils went out.
"You haven't been home for seven or eight months. You should go back and have a look."
"Even if I can't bear to do that, what can I do? I don't want you to give up what you cherish for anyone, even if that person is me!"
The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and his eyes flashed with tiny sparks.
Only when love reaches its deepest level will you let go and fulfill it.
His love for Deng Youning will always be the most heartbreaking.
Deng Youning's thoughts were frozen at that moment, and a sentence with the same voice, tone, and similar content flashed through her mind.
"Ningning, never throw away the sword in your hand, not even for my sake!"
Is this also what Li Tianzhuo said to me?
He has always taught her to consider her own feelings first and not to worry about anyone, not even him.
Just like when he was in danger, he didn't need her to save him, he just hoped that she could escape from danger.
"A Zhuo..."
Deng Youning called his name softly.
"Um?"
Li Tianzhuo groaned and looked down at her.
"I seem to have fallen in love with you again."
"So, I don't want to go back to Dongji with my cousin. I want to stay in Nanxin. When your business is settled, we will go back to Dongji together."
Deng Youning expressed her truest thoughts from the bottom of her heart.
This time, it was Li Tianzhuo's turn to be stunned, and there was confusion in his eyes.
He himself didn't seem to have expected that Ningning would fall in love with him so easily.
A feeling of joy welled up in his heart, making his brows relax.
However, this joy was only fleeting.
Nan Xin is too dangerous, and the people around him are too dangerous.
He would never allow anyone to hurt Deng Youning.
He knew that his abilities were limited and he couldn't protect her.
There were tears in his eyes, but he tried hard not to let them fall.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and nodded, agreeing to let Deng Youning stay and take her back to Yuncheng.
But, this was a lie to her!
It was late at night and everyone went back to their rooms and fell into a deep sleep.
Deng Youning was no exception. After being carried back to the room by Li Tianzhuo, she fell into a deep sleep.
Li Tianzhuo quietly took Nangong and the few remaining Suzaku soldiers and left without saying goodbye that night.
In order to avoid Deng Youning and the others catching up with him, he even took a small path.
"My Lord, is this really necessary?"
Nangong knew that Li Tianzhuo was reluctant to let him go and felt sorry for him.
"Let's go."
"Even if she really follows us to Yuncheng, we will try our best to stay away from her."
Li Tianzhuo ordered in a deep voice.
"But this is not a solution!" Nangong sighed.
"Then what do you want me to do? Watch her get hurt again? Even if I take her with me wherever I go, I won't necessarily protect her!"
"The best way to protect her is to stay away from me and draw a clear line between you and me!"
Li Tianzhuo was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe. His body felt like it was being torn apart and he felt weightless.
Seeing him like this, Nangong tactfully stopped talking.
When the sky just started to turn pale, Deng Youning and the others were awakened by Li Wei's roar.
He only realized later that Li Tianzhuo had left without saying goodbye, and the first thing he did after knowing it was to inform everyone in Dongji.
Deng Yan'an and Han Xian smiled softly, not caring.
At the dinner table last night, Deng Youning said that she fell in love with Li Tianzhuo and wanted to stay for him. They both said it while they were half drunk and half awake.
They could understand Li Tianzhuo's actions.
At the same time, they also understood their sister's character and knew that Deng Youning would definitely follow Li Tianzhuo to Yuncheng.
But it is unknown whether Li Tianzhuo will meet him later.
As expected, Deng Youning told everyone that morning that she wanted to stay.
"If you want to stay, then stay. I'll take care of the household matters for you." Deng Yan'an said lovingly.
Deng Youning nodded happily, "I hope my uncle can forgive my unfilial sin!"
"Cousin Han, I'll leave Ningning in your care." Deng Yan'an was entrusting his child to someone before leaving.
But, there is really no need for this.
Deng Youning can still make a name for herself on her own.
"My cousin doesn't need me to take care of anything. I just need to make sure she doesn't get bullied by the Nanxin royal family."
Han Xian also didn't want Deng Youning to endure any grievances for Li Tianzhuo.
We were originally scheduled to depart today.
Since Deng Youning changed her mind at the last minute, Deng Yan'an and Han Laoer had to go back alone.
Han Xinxin and Han Xian also plan to set off for Yuncheng in the next few days.
If the Han family’s business wants to gain a foothold in Yuncheng, it will take some twists and turns!
