“Because our young master has instructed us to so that you can see for yourself, what kind of young lady you have given up on.
“I know you’re in pain and regret, but nothing can help you now. Even if you did not give her up, did you think… that our Paramount’s master would have eyes for a tramp like you now?”
Paramount’s… master?
Liu Yuchen looked up at the manager, lost.
It was only known that Feng Ruqing had deep connections with Paramount, but to be Paramount’s master… what was going on?
“You will never know everything she owns. She was once our young master’s important guest and now Paramount’s master. The spirit herb dishes here are all supplied by her. Her mother is the master of Fengyun Manor, her fiance is Young Master Nan Xian of Tian Shen Manor, and her admirer is the master’s daughter of Tian Shen Manor!
“How could an insignificant person like you even begin to compete with these people?”
The manager’s every sentence was like a needle, viciously stabbed into Liu Yuchen’s heart.
He laughed out loud, his voice laced with madness.
However, he said nothing. He took the bottle of wine with him and left.
He should have left long ago, but he still wanted to see her one last time.
Just this one look was good enough for him.
After all… he was the one who had mistaken a pearl for a fish ball and lost her forever.
***
At Paramount.
In a luxurious suite room.
A man lay in bed. Sunlight poured through the windows, illuminating his handsome face.
His mask had already been tossed away and the lightning mark below his eye gave off a bizarre aura.
His purple long robes swayed gently in the breeze, increasing his devilish charms and exuberance.
Even if the man was only laying down, he still carried an air of malevolence and dominance.
Creak!
The door was pushed open and a young woman stepped in. Her red dress swayed gently while her beauty could bring cities to their knees.
Feng Chen followed quietly behind her, step by step like a little follower.
“Jiu Ming.” Feng Ruqing walked over to the bed and sat down next to it. She then said helplessly, “I know you have saved me and I should be taking care of you, but I cannot put you in the princess’s manor. You know that I only have handmaidens and spirit beasts in my manor, and they won’t be able to take good care of you. So, I had Paramount take you in. I definitely didn’t do this because I was afraid you’d seduce the state preceptor!”
The person on the bed did not answer her. The empty room was silent.
“The state preceptor and I will be getting married soon. Even though you tried to s.n.a.t.c.h the state preceptor from me, you and I have known each other for so many years, so… we’re still considered friends. That’s why, I hope you can attend our ceremony when that day comes.”
Jiu Ming was still quiet, there was no response.
Concern flashed in Feng Ruqing’s eyes. “Fu Chen, even you can’t tell what’s going on with Jiu Ming? How will he be able to wake up?”
“Mother…” After a moment, Fu Chen’s voice rang from within the medium. “I have no idea either. We can only wait for him to wake up by himself.”
But once he woke up, would he still be the Jiu Ming they all knew? Or would he become someone else…
That was still a mystery!
“Three months… I hope in these three months, Jiu Ming will wake up.”
The state preceptor had suggested three months because a wedding would require a lot of time for preparation.
Her suggestion for three months, however… was not only to be in sync with the state preceptor but also with hopes that Jiu Ming could attend the wedding ceremony.
She wanted Jiu Ming to watch the state preceptor marry her with his own eyes. That way, he could give up completely and stop thinking about her state preceptor!
