Nan Chiyou was dumbfounded. Did her mother mean that the man in red had hunted down Nan Ming for so long, just for this love letter?
She looked back at the man in red behind her and suddenly felt that he had died somewhat unjustly.
“Let’s go…”
Feng Ruqing turned to Nan Xian and smiled gently.
State Preceptor Nan Xian raised his hand and gently wrapped his arm around her waist. His smile was as warm as a clear spring, just like when they had first met.
Nan Chiyou followed Feng Ruqing, staring at the two people in front of her. She pursed her lips, turned to Nan Ming, and asked, “Ten years ago, that wolf was also you. Why did you not tell me that at first?”
She became furious as she thought of that.
‘This damn Nan Ming has lied to me not only once or twice…’
Nan Ming raised his hand and held Nan Chiyou’s hand. “Back then, you never thought of me as a wolf.”
He was afraid that even if he said that, Nan Chiyou might not believe him.
Moreover, the things which happened ten years ago had already passed, and what he wanted now was the current Nan Chiyou.
“Nan Ming!” Nan Chiyou gritted her teeth and grabbed Nan Ming’s lapel. “You have lied to me so many times. If you want me to forgive you, that is never possible. You still…”
Nan Ming subconsciously frowned and seemed to be somewhat physically uncomfortable.
Seeing his expression, Nan Chiyou froze for a moment, panicked.
However, she tried not to show it. She snorted and arrogantly said, “For the sake of your injury, I’ll… forgive you this time.”
A gentle smile grew upon Nan Ming’s face as he heard these words.
“Xia Xia…”
He raised his hand and pulled Nan Chiyou into his arms, hugging her tightly.
As if the girl in his arms was his world, and he would never let her go.
“It is an honor for me to meet you in this life.”
A bright smile bloomed upon his face.
“Ten years ago, when Mother came to pick me up, you left without saying goodbye. So this time, will you still leave?”
“I won’t.”
Ten years ago, he was seriously injured and did not want to drag Xia Xia down with him.
Now, he had no more reason to leave her.
He would never leave her.
“Oh…” Nan Chiyou left his embrace and raised her head. The smile on that little face of hers carried an innocent splendor. “This is your promise to me. If you leave without saying goodbye again next time, in the future, you will never see me again.”
Nan Ming bowed his head. His gentle gaze fell upon the young girl’s exquisite and beautiful face.
“Never.”
“Pinky swear?”
The young girl smiled faintly and extended her finger.
Nan Ming froze. He was a little confused but still followed the young girl’s gesture and hooked her finger.
The morning sun warmed the ground that had been turned into ruins.
It warmed Nan Chiyou’s heart today.
Perhaps, they were destined to be together since the first encounter ten years ago. Now, they were holding each other’s hands together and never letting go again.
After walking up ahead, Feng Ruqing looked back again and saw the two people under the sunlight. She smiled faintly, turned around, and walked back to Liu Yun Kingdom.
Her figure gradually faded away, leaving only the young girl standing in the sunlight…
