âWhereâs my wife?â asked Di Cang with a frown after turning around.
âSire, I am incompetent, failed to bring Her Highness back with me, but rest assured, she and the prince is very safe. Theyâre currently staying with the queenâs mother.â
âYan Yanâs mother?â Raising his brow, âYan Yanâs mother is also there⦠can it be⦠sheâs found her birth mother?â
If this is the case, Yan Yanâs most worried subject can finally be put to rest.
âButâ¦â First Elder then looked up to meet the loosening expression of the king, âApparently the queenâs mother has some kind of misconception about you Sire, she demands you to go pick up the queen yourself if you wish to retrieve her.â
Expressionless still, âI understand, you can go back first.â
âYes, Sire.â
When the elderâs old figure finally departed, Di Cang also went ahead to take his leave, heading straight into the dense shrubbery for his intended destination.
â¦â¦
Inside a well-hidden cave of a valley where combat took place, Ning Yuan was struggling to get himself up from the dirty ground when he pulled at his wounds again, causing a layer of sweat to come forward as result.
âThat fucking bitch, sooner or later Iâll snap and break her apart for what she did to me!â After swearing that to himself, this scum who wanted to take Bai Yanâs life but got injured instead turned sinister in his face, âButâ¦. I have already given Yuâer that poison. I bet sheâs succeeded by now. Once that bitch is gone then no one will ever know what I have done.â
Itâs a shame though, perhaps this time I will have to sacrifice Yuâer. But thatâs fine, as long as I can get Ningâer to stay by my side forever then sacrificing a daughter is nothing, I can always make more like her!
Itâs then a slight rustling sound came from the front entranceway of the cave.
âHow did the matter go with Yuâer?â Ning Yuan snickers and asked the figure who entered into his view.
The newcomer was a woman wearing a long yellow dress, her skin fair and white, and that face truly worthy of a prize without any blemishes. If thereâs any fault, it would be that expression thatâs tinged with the look of grief.
âBrother Yuan, Bai Ning never liked you from the start, why do you⦠keep clinging onto her?â
âYou will never understand my feelings. From the very first day I met Ningâer, I have vowed to make her mine, even if the price is great, I will have her as mine.â Thereâs absolute determination in those eyes when the scum said that.
Clenching her fist in frustration from that statement, the woman in yellow pleads again: âBut Yuâer is your daughter, isnât it too dangerous to have her carry out a task like that?â
âSo are you implying you can and she canât?â Ning Yuan glances and sneered at the lady across from himself, âDonât forget, I saved you only because I wanted you to help care for my daughter while Ningâer is not around. You are to never show yourself before her! If she ever learns of your existence then I will not let you off, understand?!â
I was wrong from the very beginning.
I should not have gone to fuck another woman in a vain attempt at rousing jealousy from Ningâer. That only backfired and ruined any chances I had!
Thankfully she eventually lost her memory and forget everything. I wonât let this second chance pass me again, never!
