From now on, I will never let go again.
An Youyou leaned against An Ji’s embrace, listening to the powerful and resonant heartbeat against his chest. She inexplicably felt at ease, inexplicably filled with happiness.
She finally understood the feelings between her father and her mother.
The kind of love that remains unwavering until death.
In this moment of embrace, she thought of eternity.
The two continued to hold each other tightly.
As if neither wanted to let go.
Just like that night after drinking, the uncontrollable emotions spiraled out of control...
The night grew later.
Inside the Imperial Palace, all was silent.
Except for each other’s frenzied heartbeat.
"An Ji." Eventually, An Youyou spoke first.
Even though she didn’t want to leave his warm embrace.
But they couldn’t just bear-hug like this forever.
"I’m here." An Ji’s voice was low and restrained.
"Let go of me." An Youyou said.
Instinctively, An Ji held her tighter.
Reluctant.
Reluctant to let her go.
"You can’t just hold me like this forever, the day will soon break." An Youyou expressed with some helplessness.
An Ji swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbing.
Slowly, he released An Youyou.
Such a warm An Youyou, after letting go, suddenly felt like half of his body was empty.
He had to exert immense self-control to avoid losing control and pulling An Youyou back into his arms.
"It’s late, you should go back and rest." An Youyou urged.
"Youyou." An Ji called her.
His voice was filled with an ambiguous tone.
An Youyou suppressed her accelerating heartbeat, looking at him.
Looking at An Ji under the night sky, even more handsome and captivating. freёwebnovel.com
"You haven’t answered me, are you willing to return to Beiyuan with me?" An Ji asked.
After confessing their feelings to each other, what mattered most was being together.
Being together forever.
An Youyou bit her lip.
She had never imagined An Ji liked her, nor had she imagined being with An Ji, so she hadn’t thought about what it would be like to follow him to Beiyuan?!
She didn’t even dare to guarantee that her father and mother would actually allow her to go to Beiyuan with him.
Beiyuan and Daxuan were, after all, two different countries.
Even neighboring nations, the two capitals were separated by countless mountains and rivers.
She didn’t know if her father and mother would support her.
If they didn’t, could she bear to defy her father and mother?!
An Youyou sighed.
Suddenly, she felt that even falling in love wasn’t easy.
At first, she thought the other person didn’t like her, and now that he finally did, she began to worry if her parents would agree.
"You don’t want to?" An Ji became visibly tense upon seeing An Youyou sigh.
He quickly grasped An Youyou’s hand.
Afraid she would refuse.
"It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just my father, mother, and brother..." An Youyou felt a bit distressed, "I’m worried they won’t let me go with you."
After An Youyou said that, An Ji suddenly realized.
He truly was blinded by love, having completely forgotten to consider other aspects.
Upon thinking carefully, An Youyou, who was loved and cherished by thousands, viewed as a treasure by the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager, how could they easily allow her to marry and go so far away?
He even remembered hearing Luming say that the Supreme Emperor intended to have Youyou marry a suitor who would stay with them, clearly not wanting her to leave their side.
"I’ll go plead with the Supreme Emperor and Empress Dowager." An Ji decided promptly.
"No, no, no." An Youyou quickly refused, "My brother’s issues already have my father and mother exhausted, we can’t go bother them now, I wouldn’t bear it."
An Ji understood An Youyou’s concerns.
An Youyou always appeared carefree and indifferent to everyone, yet she was actually most devoted to emotions and considerate of others.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have directly given up on him without trying.
"Let’s wait until my brother’s matters are settled, then we’ll discuss it."
"But I’m leaving Daxuan in a few days."
"Then just go back first," An Youyou said calmly.
"...Won’t you miss me?" An Ji felt a bit disappointed.
Even though he understood An Youyou’s considerations, he still felt a bit coldly treated.
"If two hearts stay true, why worry about the days apart?" An Youyou comforted.
"But I want to be with you every day and night." An Ji’s voice dropped a bit.
Clearly, many moving words couldn’t be spoken, yet he couldn’t help himself in front of An Youyou.
An Youyou smiled brightly, "After some time, when I’ve convinced my father and mother, I’ll come to Beiyuan to find you."
"How long will that be?" An Ji asked.
