Chapter 116 - 114. Let's Run Away III

Third person POV

Hong er went back to her chamber after her lesson with Laojin and Lu Ping. She sat on a chair and glanced at Huayun.

Hong er: " So, how is it?"

Huayun took out the letter from her sleeve and handed it over to Hong er.

Huayun: " He didn't dare to reveal his identity to us but he kept demanding to meet Young Miss."

Hong er: " And?"

Huayun: " And Meiyun drove him out."

Meiyun: " Hehehe~"

Hong er chuckled by her maids' playfulness, she opened the letter and read the beautifully written words. The more she read it the darker her face got, even Meiyun and Huayun didn't expect Hong er to get upset by a mere letter.

Meiyun: " What did he write, Young Miss?"

Huayun: " Meiyun! You are being brazen!"

Meiyun: " I mean, look! Even Young Miss is frowning, aren't you curious?"

Hong er: " It is fine, come here and let's look at it together."

Meiyun and Huayun quickly went to Hong er's side and read the letter. Their face went from smiling to disgusted face immediately, hairs on their body stood up.

Meiyun: " What the f-"

Huayun: " I know it is disgusting but refrain from cursing when Young Miss is around."

Even though Huayun said that, in heart she was cursing non-stop of how nauseating and disgusting the letter was. It could make anyone shudder just by reading it.

Meiyun: " Bu-but, how can this person confidently assume that Young Miss loves him and wants to marry him?! EEAAGGHHH!"

Huayun: " Ehem, that's true. Maybe he misinterpreted Young Miss' kindness to love. Truly, I have never seen someone more shameless than Meiyun."

Meiyun: " Right?!"

Huayun: " You… How shameless of you to admit yourself shameless."

Meiyun ignored Huayun's remark and continued to read the letter.

' Dear Miss Xu, I am sure you still remember the person that you helped when you were in the palace for the Bride Selection. To be frank, I had fallen for you from the first time we met in the alleyway.

I had paid attention to you when you were sitting beautifully in the garden, you were so beautiful that the flowers were ashamed, then I saw the loneliness in your lovely golden eyes.

I wanted to approach and comfort you but you had left the capital before I can even talk to you. I knew that you are obliged to marry that cold hearted emperor therefore I came to Xi An to bring you with me and explore this world, leaving our status and wealth and live happily with only the two of us.

Please consider this offer and your happiness. I will definitely make you happier than anyone else in this world. Come to the food stall near the west gate at 10 A.M tomorrow, I will be waiting for you. I am sure you will come.

Long Yang.'

Hong er crumpled the letter and burned it to ashes by using her fire magic. She didn't know that her action would cause trouble. Huayun and Meiyun were satisfied with Hong er's decision, Hong er was famous for her kindness and magnanimous but one thing that everyone didn't know was, Hong er was quite heartless. Being an elite force, no one could avoid their hands from being stained by blood, so does Hong er. She needs to kill to survive.

She was very lenient if it involves her but she would become ruthless if it was concerning to her beloved ones. In war, she would give the opponent a chance to resolve everything in peace thus no lives would be taken. If the opponent insisted on using the harsh way then she would be merciless.

In different cases, if the culprit's crime had been proven, she would immediately seize them without any word.

Hong er: " Report this matter to father and send some people to keep an eye on him until father decided on what we will do."

Huayun: " Yes, Young Miss."

Huayun bowed to Hong er then walked out of the room. Meiyun poured a cup of hot tea for Hong er and was gladly accepted by Hong er.

Meiyun: " Young Miss, so you are just gonna leave him like that?"

Hong er: " Then what am I supposed to do?"

Hong er glanced at Meiyun and smirked under the cup. Meiyun flinched when she saw Hong er's eyes.

Meiyun: " Yo-young Miss, wh-why are you angry?"

Hong er: " Hm? Do I look angry?"

Meiyun: " Uuhh, uumm. No? But yes?"

Hong er: " Ahahaha, nothing biggie. Just slightly pissed off by that prince's way of using words."

Meiyun: " Why?"

Hong er: " He said it like it was my father's fault for forcing me to marry Da Qi's emperor. You know me right?"

Meiyun: " Yes, Young Miss."

Meiyun: ' Never ever talk bad or hurt the people she loves.'

Hong er: " And…"

Meiyun: And?"

Hong er: " No one can make me happier than Sheng ge."

Meiyun was silent.

Hong er: " Even if I am married to Da Qi's emperor, my heart will always love Sheng ge."

Meiyun smiled gently at Hong er and bowed her head.

Meiyun: " Yes, Young Miss."

Hong er woke up and did her morning routine. Long Yang's offer had been thrown away to the back of her mind. The day passed by with Long Yang sitting alone in the food stall while looking around him, hoping that the white masked girl would show up. Unfortunately, the girl didn't show up. He didn't dare to leave his seat, afraid that when he was away, the girl would show up and leave if he wasn't there. He kept ordering food so he could sit for a day. Night came but he was still waiting for her, the owner of the food stall pitied him and decided to leave a chair for him to sit.

He felt devastated, he thought that Hong er loves him that's why she helped him. He didn't know what he had done wrong in his past life to be treated like this. But then a piece of paper out of nowhere fell in front of him. Suspicion built up inside his heart, he picked up the paper and saw a beautiful handwriting on the paper.

' Your Highness, I have to reject your offer. Please forgive this lowly one for being audacious but I have to clear this misunderstanding. I am not forced nor obliged to marry Da Qi's emperor, I am the one who accepted the decree in my own accord. Lastly, I can't accept Your Highness' feelings towards me as this heart has belonged to someone else.'

Long Yang widened his eyes when he read the last sentence. His hands gripped on the paper causing it to crumple. He couldn't believe this and didn't want to believe this. His mind was in disarray trying to think that it was all fake. Then his body froze at the thought.

Long Yang: ' Ye-yes, that's right! Maybe she was confined in her room and they found out about my letter so they decided to write this so I give up on her! How could I not think about that earlier?! Then the people who knew about this letter the two maids! How dare they lie to me! Miss Xu, please wait for me! I will definitely come back to save you!'

A wide smile crept up his face as he laughed maniacally.
