"My lord..."
When the Shadow Guard stepped forward, this was the scene that greeted him.
He quickly turned away. "My lord, it's time to go."
'He just didn't get it. The Princess Consort wasn't going anywhere; she was being watched by Xuan Mei and the men! Everything outside was a complete disaster, yet his lord insisted on making this trip. No amount of persuasion could stop him!'
Song Lianhe swatted his hand away and rubbed her chin, which he had squeezed until it hurt. "You should just go."
Zhou Cangyan gazed at her. She was standing right in front of him, yet she always seemed so unreal.
As if... she could vanish at any moment.
He hated this feeling. With a cold, stern expression, he took another step forward. Forced by the height difference, Song Lianhe had to tilt her head up to look at him.
"Don't overthink things," he said suddenly.
She froze.
Then she quickly averted her gaze.
"Once I've taken care of everything out there, I'll come back for you."
"Oh."
