"Long time no see..."
Ai Fan chuckled softly.
The shadow of the wisteria flowers fell on her face, like a hazy dream.
It has indeed been a long time since we parted at Star Harbor.
It was so long that the girl opposite, whose mind was full of love, had supported the entire empire alone, it was so long that she had taken deep roots in Baisha Star, and even Pei Ji had grown up.
So long that they are about to have grandchildren.
"I thought you would answer later."
Ai Fan's tone was casual, as if they had just met not decades ago but just now and were chatting again.
Then Carolina felt that familiar feeling again.
She wanted to tell the person opposite her all the bad things that happened today, act like a spoiled child, roll around on the ground, and ask her to make decisions for her.
Or you can ask her if she has eaten anything delicious recently or if she has heard any good songs.
But she just pursed her lips, kept a straight face, and sat upright.
Just like sitting on the throne and facing the ministers.
She was used to it.
However, the next sentence from the person opposite her broke her defense.
Ai Fan: "I think you should be browsing the Star Network at this time."
Carolina slammed the table and said, "What are you talking about? There's nothing interesting going on lately, just gossip or scandals. I should fire Owen and clean up StarNet!"
"I don't care which duke is marrying which lord. How could I not know about their marriage?"
"And that Pei Ji! He's already trending even though his suspension is almost up."
"I don't know where these CP fans popped up online, supporting him and our Dede. They're heartbroken that we have to stay alone in an empty house. What kind of empty house are we staying in? Divorce! Divorce right away!"
"What's so good about an Alpha who doesn't go home twice a year?!"
She suddenly choked.
Damn it, I forgot Pei Ji is Ai Fan’s biological son.
Carolina: "Uh... We're not in such a hurry to get a divorce."
Ai Fan burst out laughing. "You and Pei Li seem to have a good understanding. He was also talking about divorce today."
Carolina: "Bullshit! There's no way that idiot and I have any tacit understanding. Even if the Messiah's seawater is completely dried up! It's impossible!"
Ai Fan: “Well…”
Ai Fan: "But I did come to you to discuss divorce."
Carolina was suddenly stunned, and her whole body seemed to be frozen.
"You...are looking for me for business?"
Ai Fan gave her a smile that was too gentle for her. "Do you think... this is official business?"
Carolina maintained a stunned expression, "It depends on how you define it."
Ai Fan sighed: "Are you going to beat around the bush with me, Nana?"
Hearing the familiar name, Carolina clenched her fists on the table.
After a while, she slowly relaxed her shoulders and her expression changed from tense to relieved.
She smiled loosely.
"You still remember it."
Ai Fan looked at her seriously: "Of course I remember. Not only me, but Pei Li also remembers it. It's impossible for us to forget it, Nana."
Carolina lowered her eyes, "You didn't even tell Pei Ji."
Ai Fan: "We all feel that it would be more appropriate for Shen Que to tell him in person."
Carolina sighed softly.
The breeze blew up the fallen leaves and passed by her figure sitting alone.
The autumn sycamore trees in Messiah are in the leaf-changing period, and the leaves all over the yard look like heavy rain.
Carolina was like a forgotten statue, slowly becoming hard and cold in this rain where she was alone.
At that moment, Ai Fan seemed to see again her lonely figure standing in front of the harbor.
Behind her, there was no one except the huge stone statue and the towering dome.
Carolina spoke slowly, "I still think it's better for both of them to separate."
Her voice regained its composure and rationality.
"Baishaxing may not participate in the Messiah's struggle, but Shen is indeed my man, and he must come back."
Ai Fan's deep gaze fell on her from the light curtain.
Carolina returned her gaze. "Shen Que told Pei Ji in person, and then Pei Ji rejected it in person. This is too cruel."
That's how Pei Li and Ai Fan rejected her in person back then.
Carolina understood that in that horrific insect swarm, Pei Li and Ai Fan would never give up Baisha Star to help her save Messiah.
Even if there were no insect swarms, there was no precedent for the successive lords of Baisha Star to participate in the struggle against the imperial court.
But when I heard the rejection with my own ears and saw their backs as they left, I couldn't help but shed tears.
She cried all night long.
That was the last time she shed tears.
"If you don't want to be the bad guy, I'll do it."
Carolina raised her chin slightly, her brows cold.
"I will order Shen Que to return to Messiah. If I'm not mistaken, the two of them should not have been completely marked yet. Everything is still in time."
Ai Fan sighed: "Why are you so sure Pei Ji will refuse, Your Majesty?"
She suddenly changed her address.
Carolina paused slightly.
Ai Fan: "Do you know him?"
"As a mother, I can't even be sure of his choice, so why can you?"
Carolina choked, "Because..."
He is very similar to Pei Li.
From what she knew about Pei Ji, he was exactly like his stupid father, whether it was his obsession with his hometown or...
She was stunned for a moment.
...obsession with Ai Fan.
Carolina fell silent.
Although they didn't have much contact, she saw the changes in Shen Que after he went to Baisha Star.
