In the distance, rolling hills are covered with lush green trees and babbling brooks.
"Nannan, come on, have some water," Dongfang Yerong said softly, holding a water bottle with the lid already open, and slowly handing it to Li Baobei beside her.
His eyes were filled with endless tenderness and care, as if they could melt a person's heart.
Li Baobei smiled slightly, reached out and took the kettle, her movements light and elegant.
She parted her lips slightly and carefully took a sip of water. The cool, sweet taste instantly filled her senses, making her feel refreshed.
The two sat side by side by the stream, enjoying a moment of peace and tranquility.
Li Baobei opened her eyes wide and gazed curiously at the beautiful scenery around her.
For her, every new place is full of novelty and mystery, and this urge to explore the unknown always excites her.
"Nannan, at our current speed, we should be able to reach the capital of Yi Kingdom this afternoon," Dongfang Yerong said to Li Baobei with a smile.
Upon hearing the news, Li Baobei turned her head sharply, her eyes sparkling with joy.
"Is it finally here? I'm actually a little nervous!" she murmured to herself, her face beaming with anticipation and excitement.
After all, they had been bouncing around in the carriage for almost half a month.
This long journey made Li Baobei truly feel the hardships of travel, and she really wanted to lie down for a few days.
Sitting in a carriage for long periods of time every day can indeed make one feel exhausted.
However, thinking about reaching her destination soon, Li Baobei felt that all the hardships had become worthwhile.
＊
The capital of the state of Yi.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people.
A beautifully decorated carriage slowly made its way along the bustling street. A corner of the curtain at the carriage window was gently lifted, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
Li Baobei gazed curiously out the window, marveling at the bustling city.
This place was once her familiar hometown, but now it feels somewhat unfamiliar.
Looking at the hustle and bustle before me, a nameless sadness welled up in my heart.
Li Baobei silently lowered the curtains, her mood gradually becoming somewhat lost.
Noticing her change in mood, Dongfang Yerong, who was sitting next to her, asked with concern, "What's wrong? Nannan, are you feeling unwell?"
Li Baobei forced a smile, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous."
Dongfang Yerong reached out and gently took her hand. The warmth from her palm made Li Baobei feel much more at ease.
He whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here for you."
Li Baobei nodded slightly, a hint of relief in her eyes.
The carriage continued on its way, and her thoughts churned like a surging tide, filled with confusion and unease about what was to come.
Not long after, the carriage came to a steady stop.
Dongfang Yerong carefully helped Li Baobei out of the car.
Li Baobei was wearing a light and elegant light blue dress, her figure graceful.
She wore a pure white veiled hat, and her face, partially obscured by the thin veil, appeared even more mysterious and captivating.
Although her full appearance could not be seen, her stunning beauty could still be glimpsed from her hazy outline.
Li Baobei slowly raised her head, and in her field of vision, a magnificent and towering building stood majestically before her.
The building is magnificent and inspires awe.
Above the entrance to the building hangs a plaque with two large characters written in a flamboyant style: Dream Tower.
"Dream Tower..."
Li Baobei murmured softly, a strange feeling welling up in her heart.
The name seems to contain endless profound meaning, evoking images of dreamlike scenes and an ever-changing world.
Everything was as illusory and unreal as a dream, yet full of mysterious charm.
"Yes, what a dreamlike name..." she thought to herself.
Just then, Dongfang Yerong gently helped her and led her into the building.
As soon as he entered, a waiter hurriedly came to greet him, his face beaming with joy as he stared intently at Dongfang Yerong.
"Master, you're finally back!" the waiter exclaimed excitedly, his voice filled with barely concealed joy.
Upon hearing this, Li Baobei was immediately at a loss.
"The Dong family? Could it be that this Dream Pavilion is actually owned by the Dong family?" She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
From that moment on, she began to realize that the background of the East was probably far more complex than she had imagined.
To be able to open such a large restaurant in the capital of Yi Kingdom, the financial resources, material resources, and human resources required must be extremely abundant.
Clearly, the families in the East possess considerable strength and influence.
As a result, Li Baobei's curiosity about the East grew even stronger.
Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.
After all, the mansion where she and Dongfang once lived was far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
At the time, she did not question Dongfang about this matter. Looking back now, Dongfang may indeed have been quite wealthy.
I never imagined my future husband would be so low-key, reserved, and possess such extraordinary skills. He's truly something else!
Li Baobei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, before she continued to follow Dongfang upstairs.
