Chapter 28 That bastard got off easy!
As night fell, ice-blue light strips illuminated the castle, contrasting with the warm glow of the streetlights, creating a dreamlike scene.
Ji Wanwan was tired from playing, so she sat on a solid wood chair, leaning against Kolov's arm. The quietness was such that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
That's fine.
If what happened before hadn't happened, if Kolov hadn't imprisoned her and forced her.
Ji Wanwan might fall for him too.
She found it laughable just thinking about it.
But there aren't that many "what ifs"...
Ji Wanwan's hair came undone while she was riding the drop tower, and Kolov clumsily pulled out a burgundy hairband from somewhere and tied it up for her.
Seeing her lost in thought, Kolov asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Wanwan snapped out of her reverie, exclaimed "Ah!", and said, "I was wondering if you come here often."
Kolov: "No, this is my first time here too."
Born into an imperial family, they enjoy privileges unattainable by ordinary people, but they also lack the joy and love of ordinary people.
If he hadn't accompanied Ji Wanwan, he might never have set foot here in his entire life.
Ji Wanwan was slightly shocked, thinking that he had played it many times before, which was why he was indifferent to it.
Ji Wanwan is different; even after graduating from university, she still cherishes the dreams she had as a child.
Kolov then added, "I hope you can always be with me."
Ji Wanwan didn't respond because she couldn't do it.
"Let's go back."
Ji Wanwan stood up, but Kolov grabbed her: "Wait."
At that moment, the night was pierced by a cluster of pale blue fireworks, and brilliant fireworks bloomed above the castle, followed by countless stars falling.
Then, fireworks of different colors exploded one after another, forming the fleeting word 'Love' in the air.
Unlike the last time, "belong"...
Ji Wanwan stood there, stunned, looking up at the dazzling night sky.
Kolov held her in his arms, like lovers experiencing the ultimate happiness.
Kolov's voice was deep: "Wanwan, stay by my side."
"Otherwise, I'll go crazy..."
Ji Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest, her breathing became rapid, and she replied, "Okay."
The bodyguards standing behind were taking pictures like crazy, afraid of missing a single frame.
A gentle breeze ruffled Ji Wanwan's skirt, casting long shadows of the two of them that blended with the silhouette of the distant castle and the shimmering fireworks in the sky.
On the way back that night, Kolov couldn't resist and took Ji Wanwan's place on the spot.

The next day.
Kolov straightened his clothes and went out. Alexander stood at the door and respectfully said, "Miss Katya has arrived."
Katya Petrova was the fiancée that Viktor arranged for Kolov.
The Peter family is a financial dynasty that controls the economic lifeline of Russia.
This marriage was a joint decision made by both families.
Kolov frowned, his eyes turning frosty.
Where?
“It’s downstairs.” Alexander lowered his head, not daring to look at him.
Because he was the one who let the person in...
Kolov gave him a cold look and walked away.
Kolov went downstairs but didn't see anyone. His voice was icy cold, as if Alexander would lose his head at any moment.
Where are they?
Alexander was panicking. He swallowed hard. "I just brought her here, and now..."
At that moment, soft laughter could be heard from the garden outside.
Kolov went outside.
I saw Katya chasing butterflies in the garden, her elegance tinged with playfulness, and her smile sweet.
She was followed by her personal bodyguard, Dmitri.
Dmitri called out anxiously from behind, "Miss, please slow down..."
The two of them formed a beautiful sight in the garden.
Alexander: Human joys and sorrows are not shared...
Katya saw Kolov stop and walked over to him, her voice sweet.
"It's nice to see you again, Mr. Kolov."
Kolov frowned even more deeply and said coldly, "This is not a place for you."
Katya, unafraid of Kolov, retorted, "Do you think I wanted to come?"
She wouldn't have been interested in coming here if Katya's father hadn't threatened her.
Katya sighed and said, "My father sent me here, saying I should stay until we get married."
Kolov's jaw was clenched, his thin lips pressed into a cold, hard line, and his knuckles were clenched so tightly they turned white.
What if I don't?
Katya lowered her head and muttered, "Then I'll just have to stay here forever..."
Kolov: "You go back first, I'll go talk to them."
Seeing that Kolov was about to leave, Katya quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes.
He shouted, "No..."
Katya looked at Dmitry beside her, her eyes gentle: "He will die."
“My father planted a poison in his body, and only he can cure it.”
Katya's father threatened her with Dmitry, saying he would kill her if she didn't marry him.
Dmitry was a boy he picked up when he was ten years old, and he named him Dmitry Petrov.
Having stayed by her side until now, Katya couldn't possibly watch him die.
I couldn't bear to see him die.
Dmitri kept his head down the whole time, feeling ashamed that he had dragged her down.
He considered suicide so he wouldn't be a burden to him.
But she stopped him just as the sharp dagger was about to slice across his neck.
He gave him a good scolding, but seeing Katya's worried expression, he gave up the idea.
Kolov remained silent. This was the manor he had built for Ji Wanwan, and he didn't want anyone else to live there.
Seeing his hesitation, Katya clasped her hands together and pleaded, "Please..."
"Just let me stay here, I promise I won't disturb you and Miss Ji!"
Kolov glanced coldly at her arm: "Let go."
He didn't dislike Katya, but he didn't like her either.
Katya puffed out her cheeks and said "Oh".
Just as Kolov was about to refuse, Ji Wanwan came out from inside.
As she walked this way, Kolov assumed she was coming to find him and was about to call out to her.
But to his surprise, she walked straight past him and headed towards Katya.
Dmitry stood in front of Katya, his eyes becoming wary. Only after realizing that Ji Wanwan posed no threat did he step back.
Ji Wanwan smiled, took Katya's hand, and pinched her cute cheek.
"Come live with me!"
Kolov's hand, which was about to hug her, froze in mid-air before he pulled it back, his expression darkening as he looked at Katya.
Damn it, another competitor!
Katya laughed out loud when she saw Kolov's expression.
"Sister, you must be Miss Ji."
Ji Wanwan hummed in agreement, raised their clasped hands, and showed them off to Kolov with a slight raised eyebrow.
"She sleeps with me."
Ji Wanwan just overheard inside that Katya is Kolov's fiancée.
Since that's the case, her status must be noble, and Kolov wouldn't dare to touch her.
He suggested she sleep with him, which would both alleviate Clover's intense desires and give him a companion.
Ji Wanwan is quite good at identifying manipulative women. Anna is a manipulative woman, but Katya is not.
Katya's eyes were pure and clear, and she was lively, cheerful, and innocent.
I've been well protected from childhood to adulthood.
Ji Wanwan took one look at Katya and liked her very much.
What a lucky break for that bastard Kolov!
