She lifted her delicate hand and hooked it tightly around his neck, like a lost little white rabbit returning home, and said in a coquettish whimper, "I thought you had let me go, I thought you didn't like me anymore!"
"What a heartless little thing! I love you so much, I think about you every day, how could I possibly let you go?"
He lowered his head, cupped her head in one hand, and kissed her deeply, sobbing uncontrollably, "Yu Qianqian, you're never allowed to leave me again..."
He had a lot to say to her, but he was choked up and could only lower his lips to kiss her again and again, savoring her sweet fragrance. Their lips intertwined for a long time without end.
The long-awaited reunion is both bittersweet. The torment of longing that has been raging for so long bursts forth like a raging flood, causing those involved to lose their minds and become trapped in a state of utter turmoil from which they cannot extricate themselves.
So this is what it feels like to be in love at its deepest. His love for her was as hot as a raging fire, intense, obsessive, and reckless. They would rather drown in their love than let each other go.
After enduring for so long, he finally got to taste the sweetness of love. Once that fire was ignited, it was so uncontrollable. Mu Beichen had been missing her so much that he had thrown all his reason and self-discipline to the back of his mind. Now he only wanted to pamper her with his life, cherish her to the core, and completely possess her.
Su Yu and Leng Yuexi stood there, watching in disbelief as the two embraced and kissed passionately. An indescribable scene filled their eyes, and they were stunned. These two were so unconcerned about their image. In broad daylight, they were openly kissing and hugging. Did they even consider how others felt?
The scene of their tender affection continued to unfold before their eyes. They were genuinely shocked by it, but dared not utter a sound until their kiss ended. Only then did they look at each other with extremely complicated emotions on their faces.
Leng Yuexi smiled knowingly, glancing meaningfully at Mu Beichen and Yu Qianqian, and chuckled lightly, "Is it pretty? Don't you feel particularly envious?"
"It was windy just now, I couldn't see clearly." Su Yu turned his face away, then casually lifted his robe, turned his back to Leng Yuexi and the two people who were embracing each other, and strode away without looking back.
—The Imperial Palace
Upon hearing that Yu Qianqian had been personally brought back from Ziyan by Mu Beichen, who had traveled thousands of miles away, and that the news had spread like wildfire throughout the city the moment they stepped through the city gates, Ye Xiyan was terrified when she first learned of this. She rushed back to the Marquis's residence that very night, kneeling and begging her parents for help.
In the backyard of the Marquis's residence, Ye's matriarch, Gu Xueru, relentlessly pursued the Marquis of Beiding, saying, "Our daughter is now facing such bad luck, and it's all your fault. You insisted on sending her to the palace to serve that cold-blooded and ruthless little emperor. Look at you now, that vixen surnamed Yu has been personally brought back to the palace by the emperor. This time, Xiyan is definitely not going to have a good time!"
"Ye Xiao, let me tell you, if you don't properly resolve this mess for our daughter today, I'm not done with you!"
Ye Xiao was in a terrible predicament. On one hand, he blamed Mu Beichen for betraying him, and on the other hand, he blamed his daughter, whom he had painstakingly raised, for being so disappointing and now running back and causing chaos in the entire Marquis's mansion. While fleeing from Gu Xueru, he complained with a disheveled face, "How can there be such an unreasonable shrew like you in the world? Since ancient times, when the emperor chooses his concubines, have his subjects ever had the right to interfere? Now that something has happened, why is it all my fault? Ye, don't you have any shame?"
