“Child will choose a spoonful of water from a wide ocean. If child has someone he likes, he will naturally get married.”


  Leng Jun Yu sounded very confident, but his words were quite confusing. The audience couldn’t tell whether he already had someone else in mind or not.

  The Dowager Empress was unhappy with this response, but there was nothing she could do.

  At this moment, Nian Sulan’s face turned pale. Disappointment could be seen in her eyes.

  Because, clearly, even if Leng Jun Yu liked someone, that person wasn’t her. Or else, he would’ve went along with the Dowager Empress. Yet, he refused. Was it really only a one-sided love from her?

  At the same time, Le Yao Yao was wondering. What do the King of Hell’s words mean?

  Does he like someone already or not?

  But whatever he meant, one thing was for certain. The King of Hell was actually an affectionate person!

  Choose a spoonful of water from a wide ocean eh….

  —–


  After the Dowager Empress couldn’t get what she wanted. She ate a few snacks and wanted to retire for the night.

  After all, old people had far less energy compared to youths. Seeing this, the Empress behaved like the virtuous wife she was supposed to be and left with the Dowager Empress. The Emperor also decided to return back to the Palace.

  So, the Imperial guards left with the Dowager Empress, Emperor and Empress.

  Now that the big bosses were gone, the atmosphere was much more casual than before.

  Dongfang Bai suggested Le Yao Yao to sit down for some snacks. Le Yao Yao didn’t reject his offer. After all, she had been standing for a long time! She was tired.

  After filling her stomach with snacks, Le Yao Yao suggested that they head to the lake to put the lanterns in.

  After all, they were still holding onto their lanterns!

  Many stunning lanterns were floating on the dark lake. The candlelight made it seem as if the lotus flowers were blooming. It was a gorgeous sight.

  After finding a good spot, Le Yao Yao lit her lantern and placed it on the lake. As the lantern floated smoothly down the lake, she clasped her hands together and sincerely made her wish. Then, she opened her eyes again.

  Le Yao Yao noticed that Dongfang Bai was bending down to place his own lantern on the lake. Out of curiosity, Le Yao Yao asked, “Brother Bai, what did you wish for this year?”


  But before Dongfang Bai could reply, Nangong Jun Xi chirped in from the side, “Obviously, he wishes to find his long lost sister!”


  After all, that had been Dongfang Bai’s only wish for all these years.

  “Aww, you still haven’t found your sister?”


  What if he doesn’t find her this lifetime? Dongfang Bai would be so disappointed…


  Dongfang Bai lightly shook his head. His eyes revealed his sorrows.

  Le Yao Yao wanted to comfort Dongfang Bai. So without thinking, she commented, “If only I was your sister….”


  Then, he wouldn’t have to suffer so much.

  Actually, Le Yao Yao was just saying it. She didn’t think such a coincidence would exist. What were the chances that she could be Dongfang Bai’s sister?

  Unexpectedly, her words had a powerful effect on Dongfang Bai. He seemed a bit shaken.

  “Haha! You silly servant! How could you be Dongfang Bai’s sister? His sister is female! You’re a eunuch!” snickered Nangong Jun Xi.

  “Humph! I was just saying it! Why can’t I try to cheer him up?”


  Her words must seem ridiculous. After all, everyone thought she was a eunuch. Dongfang Bai was the only one who knew she was female.

  Le Yao Yao was mad at Nangong Jun Xi for making her look bad and went to bicker with him.

  As for Dongfang Bai, he dismissed everything with a smile. Such coincidence wouldn’t happen in this world…


  In comparison to Nangong Jun Xi and Le Yao Yao, Nian Sulan was extremely quiet tonight.

  Leng Jun Yu was standing by the lake as he silently gazed at the scenery. He had his hands behind his back, and his black clothing merged in with the night.

  The wind breeze caused his hair to blow to the side. His sleeves were also fluttering; revealing his dominance and power.

  Nian Sulan was observing Leng Jun Yu. He was such a remarkable man. She had loved him ever since he was little. But all along, it was one sided.

  Could it be that she wasn’t good enough?

  Nian Sulan knew Leng Jun Yu enjoyed watching his mother dance. When Leng Jun Yu was little, he would secretly watch his mother practice and she would be standing quietly next to him.

  She decided to pursue dancing because he liked it.

  But now that she had returned and mastered her skills, Leng Jun Yu’s eyes still wouldn’t remain on her.

  Why?

  While Nian Sulan was being upset, she noticed that Leng Jun Yu’s eyes were focused elsewhere.

  She was curious so she followed his gaze. But she realized Leng Jun Yu was watching the 7th Prince and the little servant bicker.

  Suddenly, it was as if reality slapped her across the face.

  Oh God! Could it be that it wasn’t due to her lack of abilities? Could cousin Yu already like someone else? Could he be in love with a man instead of a woman?!

  Thinking of this possibility, Nian Sulan was in shock.

  —–


  The next day, Le Yao Yao got up early in the morning because she had completely healed. After getting ready, she went to serve the King of Hell.

  After the King of Hell went to the Imperial Court, Le Yao Yao went to tidy Ya Feng Ge.

  Since she cleaned daily, there was really nothing to clean.

  However, Le Yao Yao still did her usual routine. She wiped and swept everything.

  Now, it was around noon. The Sun was shining brightly. It was so powerful that the ground looked like it was being roasted.

  Le Yao Yao recalled that a new batch of Chinese peony have arrived at the front courtyard. She decided to grab the water bucket and water the flowers.

  There were no one in the front courtyard. After all, only four people lived in Ya Feng Ge. Each day, the King of Hell would head to the Imperial Court. In addition, Mei and Xing have different tasks and duties to complete. Sometimes, they wouldn’t be back for days.

  So, Le Yao Yao was quite free to do whatever she wanted after she was done her job.

  While Le Yao Yao was watering the peonies, she couldn’t help but think of a person.

  The peonies reminded her of Nian Sulan. They were equally stunning.

  Thinking of this, Le Yao Yao put down the bucket and began to sniff the peonies.

  Unexpectedly, the flower suddenly became a beauty. Le Yao Yao was so shocked that she yelled a “ah”! She took a step back and almost fell on her bum.

  At first, she thought it was a flower demon!

  But after she calmed down and looked at the lady in red, she realized it was Nian Sulan!
