After many days, he finally got to see it.
Zhang Tongyang rushed over.
What I saw was a man who appeared aloof and refined, yet with a smile on his lips as he selected fabrics, seemingly lost in thought.
It was as alluring as a lotus blooming on a snow-capped mountain.
Zhang Tongyang thought, no wonder Wei Wangqing likes him. But so this is the kind of person she likes. It seems that he and she are far apart.
Is it too late for him to change now?
But that was just a thought; changing him was impossible. He wasn't like that, and he couldn't become like that. Otherwise, it would just be a poor imitation.
Moreover, with such a fine example before her, why would she choose a counterfeit?
He couldn't even imagine himself becoming clear and cold.
Zhang Tongyang went inside.
Chen Zhiyan spotted the man at a glance. There was no other reason than that the cloth shop was not very big, and this man was too... uh, flamboyant.
But upon looking over, he recognized the man; it was him, the man sitting in the prince's sedan chair.
In an instant, as the two locked eyes, an invisible flame flickered.
Finally, Zhang Tongyang spoke first: "This must be Young Master Chen. Brother Wei mentioned you to me."
Chen Zhiyan frowned. "Brother Wei? What kind of address is that?"
Is she showing off to him?
"But His Highness has never mentioned you to me."
You're not important to me!
Zhang Tongyang gritted his teeth, realizing that this person was not as elegant and unparalleled as he appeared on the surface.
Both of them are equally despicable!
"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find a teahouse and have a proper chat."
Chen Zhiyan hesitated for a moment, but still agreed.
But we'll have to choose this fabric another time.
Last time, he decided to embroider another sachet for His Highness. He was particularly happy to see His Highness always wearing the purse he gave him, so he wanted to give him a few more so that His Highness could wear them in rotation.
Moreover, after the marriage, the thought of His Highness wearing clothes sewn by him makes him feel so happy.
However, the man in front of us needs to be dealt with first.
Although some discerning individuals may recognize his talent, he would rather his talent remain hidden and unrecognized.
I'm always afraid that one day His Highness will be taken away by someone.
Thinking it over, he glanced at the person again, albeit subtly.
The two found a teahouse and booked a private room.
"Speak, what do you want to do?" Chen Zhiyan never had much patience for other people, especially rivals in love.
"I like Brother Wei."
As expected, but thanks to Wei Wangqing's careful protection, Chen Zhiyan finally gained some confidence.
He told His Highness that things were different, and that His Highness would not abandon him.
Moreover, His Highness even gave him a hairpin.
Thinking about it, she touched the hairpin in her hair.
This action instantly drew Zhang Tongyang's attention.
What does he mean by this? Did she give him this hairpin?
Was he trying to tell him that Brother Wei only liked him?
Perhaps that is indeed the case, but he was unwilling to accept it. Yes, unwilling.
He fell in love with a woman for the first time, and he couldn't understand how she could be so heartless as to reject him without any mercy, while being so caring towards her fiancé.
He didn't understand where he went wrong.
Thinking about it, he blurted out what was on his mind.
After his initial surprise came Chen Zhiyan's delight; his prince had gone to such lengths for him.
He felt he was growing to like His Highness more and more, and he was determined to treat His Highness very, very well!
"Perhaps you've come too late; we're already engaged."
Yes, Chen Zhiyan attributes all of this to luck.
He was lucky to have met His Highness in Jiangcheng.
He was even grateful for that assassination attempt, because it was because of it that he was able to save His Highness and allow His Highness to see him.
Yes, he was late, but is that really the case?
He didn't know either.
Perhaps it's really time to give up, otherwise continuing like this won't be good for anyone.
The moment he saw Chen Zhiyan, he knew he had lost.
Because he deserves it.
"Thank you, I'm leaving now."
You should treat her well.
Zhang Tongyang felt he had never been so serious before.
Chen Zhiyan remained silent; of course, he would treat his prince well.
His Highness is his!
Zhang Tongyang is gone, truly gone.
They left the Great Wei and returned to the Southern Dynasty.
He came here specifically for Wei Wangqing, and there was no point in staying any longer, so he naturally left.
He left only one letter for Wei Wangqing.
"Brother Wei, I'm leaving. Your Northern Dynasty isn't very fun, and the girls there aren't very exciting either. Our Southern Dynasty is much better."
I'm leaving by myself; you don't need to see me off. I can't stand seeing people cry and wailing, but you certainly won't cry—you're so heartless!
If you ever come to the Southern Dynasty again, I'll treat you the same way you treated me, don't worry. And don't even think about staying at my mansion!
Alright, that's enough rambling. Farewell, Brother Wei, until we meet again in the martial world.
Seeing this, Wei Wangqing understood that Zhang Tongyang had let go. Putting all that aside, Wei Wangqing still admired his personality; he was carefree, unburdened, and acted on his thoughts without hesitation.
Unlike Nanlin, who was arrogant and acted recklessly based on power, Nanlin was arrogant and acted recklessly.
Zhang Tongyang, on the other hand, is truly free-spirited; that's just his personality.
After Zhang Tongyang left, Wei Wangqing returned to his peaceful life.
But to be honest, it feels a little strange and I'm a little reluctant to part with the sudden absence of people to bicker with.
After all, the two had been spending every day together on their way back to Beijing.
Perhaps even without Chen Zhiyan, choosing him would be a good option.
Wei Wangqing immediately stopped himself from thinking like that. There was no possibility!
