The summer air was filled with a warm atmosphere as the wind blew over. In the center of the pond, a delicate pink lotus swayed, its subtle fragrance floating and drifting.

Attendant Ming Qing was somewhat filled with worry and hesitation before going forward, asking, “Young Master, is this really good? Do you not regret it?”

“Ming Qing.” The man dazedly gazed at the edge of the pond, at the blurry specks of light on the emerald green willow leaves. As if answering him, he mumbled to himself. “She, I don’t understand her the slightest bit.”

Reaching out his hands, he lightly touched the seemingly glimmering green light on the willow leaves. “She never put me in her heart. She and I knew each other and grew up together since childhood for ten years. In these ten years, the interactions between us were pathetically few. My feelings for her had also gone from the initial pounding to heartache and to numbness.”

“Young master.” Ming Qing’s face was filled with worry, quietly calling him.

He followed the young master from an early age, thus the feelings between them, he had watched from beginning to end.

He also saw how the young master’s initial longing towards Young Miss Mu became heartache, until it came to despair, also causing the young master and Young Miss Mu’s friendship to fade away to nothing. 

He didn’t believe it. He never once believed that Young Miss Mu was not in the young master’s heart anymore.

But now, between them… There really was no more friendship whatsoever.

And the one who caused the feelings between them to end, is indeed that person… The younger sister of Young Miss Mu, Second Young Miss Mu.

“Therefore, I gave up, because I already found the one my heart is adamant for, once again pouring vitality into my life… Allowing me to love someone again.” The man’s highly refined appearance showed a trace of a sweet smile.

Ming Qing was silent.

To tell the truth, he was gradually even more unconvinced by Second Young Miss Mu. He didn’t believe that she was sincere to the young master.

She’s taking advantage of the young master. Taking advantage of the young master’s identity and the Liu Family’s position to benefit her.

However, no matter what clear hints he gave, the young master didn’t believe him at all. Perhaps not even the family head would believe him! 

After all, Second Young Miss Mu appeared so “cultured and refined, humble and courteous”.

“Young master, perhaps it’s a misunderstanding! Young Miss Mu isn’t that kind of person. She really cares about young master. She’s just extremely busy, extremely busy. After all, she’s the eldest miss of the Mu House. Not to mention the difference between men and women. Therefore, she can’t always accompany young master left and right.” Ming Qing thought of this, and began to persuade him just like what he did the previous few days: “Furthermore, Young Miss Mu would come to see young master whenever she’s free, bringing gifts bought for young master. So is it really possible that Young Miss Mu doesn’t care about young master? Young Master, please reconsider. Don’t let yourself regret.” 

Liu Yunxi was silent, bowing his head, as though he was contemplating something.

Yes, what Ming Qing said wasn’t wrong. She was really good to him. Every time she had time, she would come to walk with him. Moreover, no matter where she went, she would always come back with a present afterwards. 

He’d feel happy for quite a while every time he thought of it.

However, the long wait of waiting for her to find him again felt endless.

He didn’t want her to give him gifts. He just wanted her to accompany him as long as possible, nothing more.

That was why, he didn’t want to wait any longer. 

Thinking of her, Liu Yunxi only felt a moment of sweetness. 

He met her, and that was the happiest thing he ever felt.

Now, whenever he thought of that person’s kindness, her patience, her concern, and her consideration, he felt that this person was his lifetime companion. His lifetime spouse.

The gentle breeze blew his clothes, fluttering the corners of his robe, with his long ink-like hair scattering from the wind’s blow. His significantly refined appearance showed a sweet smile, carrying a hint of resolve.

When Ming Qing saw his sweet smile, he could only feel his heart abruptly sink and sighed. 

At the moment, he only hoped that all the things he thought of were wrong. Second Young Miss Mu will be good for the young master, definitely will…
