There were three more paintings, and Liu Yan opened them one by one. The last painting was a scene of them releasing lanterns in the river during the Lantern Festival last year.
There are two sentences written on the painting: I wish to hold your hand and grow old with you.
The painting in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Liu Yan's hand was shaking as she held the painting. She raised her hand to cover her aching heart.
At this moment, Liu Yan truly felt the feelings Xu Jinyi had for him in the past.
But it was too late. She was going to marry the prince and would never come back. She no longer belonged to him.
Liu Yan shook her head absentmindedly and murmured, "It's not too late, it must be too late."
After putting the painting into the box, Liu Yan ran towards the palace with the box in her arms. Seeing that the door of the palace was wide open, she rushed in directly.
Xu Jinyi has been staying in the palace these days, so he came here to look for someone.
The guards at the gate were not stupid. When someone broke into the palace, they naturally stepped forward to stop them.
"I am Lord Liu, please let me go. I'm looking for Xu Jinyi. Please let me go, let me go!" Liu Yan struggled hard.
But the guards still restrained him, not letting him take another step forward.
There were already many people watching the show gathered at the gate of the palace.
But Liu Yan didn't care about all that and just wanted to see Xu Jinyi right away.
He wanted to tell her how much he loved her, he wanted her to come back to him, and he would never lose her again.
He will cherish her, love her and protect her.
"Prime Minister, Miss Xu is out and not in the mansion." The guard was worried that Liu Yan would disturb the prince, so he spoke kindly.
Liu Yan didn't believe it and shouted loudly: "Yier, I'm Liu Yan, I'm here to see you."
"Yier, come out, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
In the palace, Liu Yan's voice reached Qi Yichen's ears, and his face instantly became gloomy.
"Are all the people dead? A mere civil servant couldn't stop them, so why not send them away?"
Eunuch Deng quickly arranged for people to go outside to see what was going on.
After a while, the sound stopped, but the person was not sent away.
Eunuch Deng said with a bitter face: "The princess just came back and happened to meet him."
Qi Yichen's eyes became fierce as he glared at the trembling Eunuch Deng, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
His hands reacted quickly by placing them on the two wheels of the wheelchair, and then froze again.
He is afraid!
He was afraid that if Liu Yan turned around, Xu Jinyi would come back to him.
He was afraid that if he went out now, he would see the two of them holding hands.
My hands gripping the wheelchair tightened, and my heart began to lift.
Eunuch Deng knew that the prince wanted to go out, so he asked quietly, "I heard that the princess bought a lot of things. Your Highness, should we go over and see what they have?"
Qi Yichen hummed softly.
Eunuch Deng was also tactful and pushed Qi Yichen out with big strides.
When Xu Jinyi came back, she saw that the palace was surrounded by people. The environment was noisy and she seemed to hear someone calling her name.
Someone in the crowd saw her and silently made way for her.
Xu Jinyi walked forward and found that it was Liu Yan who was making a fuss at the door and wanted to see her.
He walked over expressionlessly: "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Hearing Xu Jinyi's voice coming from behind, Liu Yan smiled in surprise, turned around, and looked at her with shining eyes.
"Yier, you're back, I..." Liu Yan was about to take a step forward and get closer to Xu Jinyi, but the two guards had not let him go.
Xu Jinyi said calmly: "Let him go."
These words made Liu Yan very happy, thinking that Xu Jinyi still cared about him.
He happily took the box and walked forward to open it: "Yier, I really know I was wrong. Come home with me. I saw all this. I'm sorry. It was all my fault before."
"Yier, from now on I will only take care of you and won't think about anything else. Come home with me."
When she came, Liu Yan looked at all the papers under the painting.
Recorded on it are every scene in which Xu Jinyi's heart was moved.
Looking at the pictures one by one, Liu Yan didn't know how to describe her feelings.
It turned out that he had never clearly understood Xu Jinyi, and her feelings for him were so passionate.
Seeing Xu Jinyi step forward and take the box, Liu Yan grinned.
Xu Jinyi stared into his eyes, raised the box high with both hands, and then dropped it heavily to the ground.
With a snap, the scroll inside rolled out and the sheets of paper scattered all over the floor.
Xu Jinyi's expression was cold, and the words he uttered made Liu Yan even more heartbroken.
Liu Yan was stunned and stared at Xu Jinyi blankly.
Her gaze was like a sharp blade, piercing his heart fiercely, causing the blood to flow continuously.
"Did I not make myself clear? Liu Yan and I can't go back. The moment you decided to abandon me for your future, Xu Jinyi, who loved you, was already dead."
"He's dead!"
"You are just a stranger to me now. Your clingy attitude only annoys me."
Beneath her calm words, every word uttered pierced his heart.
Liu Yan's eyes were red and her lips were trembling: "Yier, there's still time. I already know I was wrong. Come back with me."
"Please!"
These few words were so humble that even the audience were moved.
But there was no trace of emotion on Xu Jinyi's face.
Xu Jinyi smiled at this and said, "Liu Yan, some damage has already been done. I don't have to forgive you for everything just because you say sorry."
"People always have to take responsibility for their own actions. Since you've already given me the divorce papers, why don't we just be free and easy, part ways, and live our own lives, okay?"
Liu Yan shook her head violently, tears finally falling: "I regret it, Yi'er, I regret it, I regret letting you go."
"Please give me another chance, I will love you well in the future."
Liu Yan grabbed Xu Jinyi's hand, her expression extremely humble, as if she was the one being abandoned.
Xu Jinyi sneered: "No one will wait for you here forever. Do you know how many silent nights I have spent in that small, shabby courtyard waiting for your arrival, waiting for you to tell me that you will not marry the princess anymore, and that you only want me in the future."
“But what did I wait for in the end?”
Liu Yan froze there, her face pale, and a strong sense of panic surged in her heart.
"Yier, please, don't do this. Give me one more chance, just one time. I will never let go of your hand again."
"Don't leave me, okay?"
"I really can't live without you!"
"Leave, and don't come back again."
Xu Jinyi walked into the palace with a firm step and walked in without looking back.
It’s useless for Liu Yan to shout outside.
At the corner of the rockery, Qi Yichen's lips curled up slightly, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.
Hearing Liu Yan still shouting at the top of her lungs outside, Qi Yichen gave Eunuch Deng a look.
