"I told you before that I didn't need anyone around me, but you insisted on bothering me and asking me to arrange some tasks for you. What, are you regretting it now?"
The man stared indifferently at the half-dead bat-like beauty in his hand.
“Master, Yan’er truly loves you,” the bat beauty pleaded. “She’s just an ordinary person and is not worthy of you at all.”
"Su Yan," the man's grip tightened, "I initially asked you to replace Su Han because I thought you were more sensible than her. Now you're really becoming more and more reckless. Do you really think you can replace Su Han?"
"Master?" The bat-woman looked at him with teary eyes.
The man said slowly, "Su Han has been with her from the beginning, so she wouldn't be so kind to me. I'm only letting you temporarily take the surname Su because of Su Han's influence. There's no need for a disobedient pet to exist anymore."
"Ah—" Su Yan really turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared here.
The man stepped forward and stared intently at Lu Qingyan's delicate face, saying apologetically, "Qingqing, I'm so sorry. I almost hurt you again. If I hadn't always remembered you, if Bai Su hadn't protected you in the end, I really would have killed you!"
"Qingqing, forget all those bad memories, let's start over, okay?"
The sleeping Lu Qingyan couldn't give him an answer, but the man smiled extremely happily: "Qingqing. This time, I'll take you away."
A wisp of blue smoke rose up, and soon they disappeared from the spot.
Lu Qingyan remembers nothing, but once he enters another parallel world, his memories will also be lost. He had envisioned a wonderful future for them; would reality turn out this way?
Lu Qingyan quietly slipped out of the palace alone, walking along the winding corridors. She saw the young man waiting under the acacia tree and smiled slightly.
She playfully ran over, tiptoed up behind him, and covered his eyes with her hands: "Guess who I am?"
"Ayan," the boy called out gently, his voice clear and melodious like a spring.
Lu Qingyan giggled, removed her hand from his eyes, and wrapped her arms around his waist: "Shen Jiyan, when are you going to marry me?"
Her voice held a hint of coquettish complaint, as well as a touch of bitterness.
The young man turned around, his slender chin resting on Lu Qingyan's forehead, and solemnly said, word by word, "Qingyan, don't worry. Right now, the only person I want to marry, the only person I will marry, is you."
The boy's embrace was tight, so tight that Lu Qingyan's bones ached slightly. But what she felt most was the deep warmth, a warmth that made her want to sleep forever, letting him shelter her from the wind and rain for the rest of her life. And she wouldn't have to think about anything, forever free from worries.
In fact, there is a significant difference in their social status. Lu Qingyan is a princess of the Lu Kingdom, while Shen Jiyan is the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo's mansion.
The Shen family was the late Empress's maternal family, and Shen Jiyan was the late Empress's nephew and Lu Qingyan's childhood sweetheart. Before Lu Qingyan's mother was married, she had a very close personal relationship with the late Empress, practically inseparable. Lu Qingyan and Shen Jiyan met freely; he taught her to read and ride horses. Often, her every word and action resembled Shen Jiyan's, and many people could immediately see the connection between them.
However, Lu Qingyan's mother was not favored, and the current empress's daughter had taken a liking to Shen Jiyan.
