Last time, when he asked Tangyuan to deliver the cake, he was thrilled, thinking that Tianyu still cared about him. He only took a bite, thinking that she would come to see him after finding out, but she never showed up. Later, he realized that she only saw him as Tangyuan's father. Now she was right beside him, chatting intently with Prince Wu, but he was furious. He hadn't wanted to come, but since Prince Wu had come to ask him to come along, he couldn't refuse. Outside the door, he saw Tianyu hiding at the second-floor window, looking out. No matter where she was, he seemed to be able to spot her immediately, but her eyes didn't see him.

Behind them was Prince Wu's hearty laughter. Tian Yu lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Moyan. Just like that, Zhao Moyan pulled her all the way out of Yanyu Tower through the back door. As soon as Tian Yu left Yanyu Tower, she was about to ask Zhao Moyan how he was so familiar with the place when Zhao Moyan pulled her to a corner and pressed her against the wall.
