Chapter 62: CH 30.2

Wen Liang couldn’t say anything to refute, only tears kept rolling down his face.

In the end, Wen Liang couldn’t remember how he got out and he returned to the mansion in a daze.

The two maids who were waiting for him to come back, were poking their heads in front of the courtyard. When they saw his figure from afar, they rushed to welcome him.

“Young Master, you are finally back.”

“Young Master, have you eaten yet?”

Wen Liang opened his mouth but couldn’t make a sound, his mouth was full of the bitter taste of tears.

He shook his head silently and kept walking forward.

The two maids soon discovered that something was wrong with Wen Liang and surrounded him from left to right.

“Young Master, what’s wrong with you?”

“Young Master, is something wrong?”

It’s a pity that no matter what the two maids asked, Wen Liang kept silent.

It was not until they entered the room, in the light of the candle, that the two maids saw Wen Liang’s tears and the scratches on his face and hands.

They were so frightened that they hurried to find gauze and medicinal wine to bandage Wen Liang’s wound.

Wen Liang didn’t know what happened to him. He was inexplicably hit by something and fell down countless times. His body was covered with bruises and scratches. The two maids worked for a long time to clean up the injured areas.

It was definitely impossible to take a bath in such a state, Wen Liang could only barely scrub his body with warm water.

After finishing everything, he let the two maids retreat and lie on the bed quietly.

At this time, an inhuman voice suddenly sounded in his mind: “Find a way to go to the peach blossom banquet.”

Wen Liang blinked dully and said blankly, “Now without my father’s help, I can’t go to the Peach Blossom Banquet.”

The system said: “You can go.”

Wen Liang asked, “How can I go?”

It was quiet for a moment before the system said: “Go find the son of the Li family, he will be willing to take you there.”

“But Li Xu he…” Wen Liang hesitated, his expression seemed reluctant but after some hesitation, he compromised, “Okay, I’ll go find him tomorrow.”

Seeing that Wen Liang was so obedient, the system put a few images in his mind to encourage him – At the peach blossom banquet, the fourth prince, Shi Jin, was standing gracefully beside a running water, holding him in his arms who was pale from excessive shock.

Wen Liang looked at those pictures carefully and he felt a little hopeful. He said carefully, “Does the fourth prince really like me?”

The system said: “He is the one destined for you.”

Wen Liang asked suspiciously, “Why must it be him?”

“Your wish is to stay away from Shi Ye and I was born based on your wish.” The system replied in a straight-forward manner, “When you made this wish, I knew the destiny of you and Shi Ye. You have your destined person, Shi Ye also has his destined person, only when both of you complete your respective destiny line, your wish will be truly fulfilled.”

Wen Liang was a little hesitant.

The system sensed his emotions and comforted: “The peach blossom banquet is the best time for you to get to meet Shi Jin, don’t miss it, with me, everything will go smoothly.”

With the system’s comfort, Wen Liang’s restless mood gradually calmed down. But when he remembered what had happened these days, his eyes were sore again and his voice was unconsciously tinged with sobs: “Wen Chi is too much, he hates me. It’s okay to hate my mother but why should he vent all those hatreds on my father? I’d rather he come at me directly…”

Speaking of Wen Chi, the system suddenly fell silent.

As the saying goes, pull one hair and the whole body is affected1, all these changes were caused by Wen Chi. With the existence of Wen Chi, the outcome that the system had long predicted changed little by little.

Why was that?

The system couldn’t guess the reason, the only thing it knows is – if it let it go on, then its mission can never be completed.

The next day.

When Wen Chi opened his eyes, it was pitch black in front of him.

He was stunned for a while, only to realize that he was buried in the quilt and he seemed to be holding something in his hand. He subconsciously touched it and felt the well-defined muscles and when he touched all the way down, he touched what felt like the root of the thigh.

Wen Chi: “…”

He suspected that he was hugging a person.

Wen Chi was startled by this guess, he stretched out his hand to push the person he was hugging away but as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt his collar was violently grabbed by a hand.

That hand suddenly lifted him upward.

Wen Chi’s hands were still against the person’s legs, so he was forced to feel his way up and finally touched a face.

A cold and icy face looked at Wen Chi.
