After supper, Helian Xiao still hadn’t appeared. An Feng couldn’t help but start worrying about it.

  Staring at the Old Madam and Nan Zhi who were enjoying their food, An Feng put down her spoon and said softly, “I should go out and take a look!”


  Seeing how concerned her daughter-in-law was for her son, the Old Madam nodded with satisfaction. “Go, go. That brat must have been so happy tonight that he became a fool.”


  An Feng left the dining room.

  She walked to the door and saw the butler. She asked with worry, “Butler, have you seen your Master?”


  The butler pointed towards the garden. “I saw Master head there earlier.”


  An Feng nodded, walking towards the garden.

  An Feng hadn’t stayed in the castle the last few days, so she was surprised when she saw a new greenhouse in the garden.

  The lights were turned off in the greenhouse, so An Feng couldn’t see anything inside.

  She couldn’t find Helian Xiao in the entire garden either.

  Where was he?

  Just as An Feng was about to leave, different colors of lights lit up in the garden. The lights seemed to continue towards the door of the greenhouse.

  An Feng walked towards the greenhouse. The moment she opened the door, the lights in the greenhouse were turned on as well.

  An Feng stared at the sight before her and gasped. Surprise, shock, and many other emotions mixed together, until her tears swarmed her eyes……

  This was a greenhouse that was completely covered in glass, looking extremely pretty and grand under the night lights. The greenhouse was filled with all sorts of flowers, in pinks, reds, blues and many other colors, attracting her full attention.

  She didn’t need to take a deep breath to be able to smell the strong floral fragrance.

  As the roof of the greenhouse was glass as well, she could see the pretty starry skies the moment she looked up. Entering the greenhouse made her feel like she had walked into an innocent and beautiful oasis.

  An Feng cupped her mouth, walking in front slowly.

  In the middle of the greenhouse, there was a very big swing.

  This was a scene she had dreamed of when she was young – a starry sky, a greenhouse filled with flowers and a swing……

  There was also a Prince Charming that made her heart flutter.

  The man that had left in a rush earlier was standing by a corner in the greenhouse. As her footsteps rang, he slowly turned around and looked at her.

  He had changed into a white suit unconsciously, his hair combed back neatly to expose his full forehead. His eyebrows were straight, as he looked mature and handsome. Even if he was only standing there and wasn’t doing anything, he was still so dazzling that she couldn’t look away.

  An urge to cry surged in An Feng. She pursed her lips tightly to control her emotions. She looked away and suddenly saw the thing he was holding.

  It was a mask.

  An Feng felt it looked extremely familiar. She took a closer look at it. Wasn’t this the mask she wore at the masked ball back then?

  An Feng walked in front of Helian Xiao, her eyes fixed on the mask he was holding. “It has been so many years, but you still kept this?”


  “I kept it since your best friend came to me and acted as you.” The man raised his hand and placed the mask on her face. He stared at her with dark eyes. “I don’t know if you believe me, but ever since I touched you back then, I had always missed you.”


  An Feng flushed from his words, her heart fluttering terribly. Seeing the bright tears in her eyes, Helian Xiao took out a folded gray handkerchief from his pocket.

  When An Feng took it and held it in her palm, she realized that there was something in the handkerchief. She opened it, and saw a ruby ring.

  It was pretty, luxurious and dazzling, so bright that it blinded anyone who looked at it.

  An Feng stared at Helian Xiao with her jaw agape, stumbling on her words, “W-why would there be a ring in the handkerchief?”


  “This is the ring only the Madam of the Helian family deserves to wear. My Mom gave it to me a few days ago, telling me that I must let you wear it.” Helian Xiao suddenly knelt down, grabbing An Feng’s slender hand. “Ah Feng, marry me.”


  Since he had already announced her to be the Helian family’s Madam, she never thought that he would propose to her in such a romantic manner.

  An Feng opened her mouth, wanting to say something when she heard a soft groan of pain.

  The Old Madam and Nan Zhi, who had been hiding and peeking at them from behind the swing, had accidentally exposed themselves.

  An Feng glared at Nan Zhi, who seemed slightly awkward after she was found out “You naughty girl, you acted like you didn’t know where your Dad went when I asked you earlier?”


  Nan Zhi caressed her nose, smiling brightly. “If I told you, there wouldn’t be a surprise, would there?”


  “Ah Feng, accept the proposal quick!” The Old Madam said hurriedly. For her to be able to see her son get married at her age, she really had to pray and thank the Gods!

  Nan Zhi agreed. “Mom, accept Dad!”


  The butler and the servants walked in as well, all of them shouting, “Accept him, accept him!”


  An Feng nodded with tears in her eyes. “I accept.”
……

  That night, An Feng only slept very late at night.

  The next morning, she was woken up by a kiss from the man. Staring at the man, who was dressed properly, An Feng rubbed her eyes. “Why are you awake so early?”


  “Get up and go somewhere with me.”


  Seeing that the sun had just risen, An Feng was slightly confused. “Where are we going so early?”


  The only response she had was a kiss. “You will know when we get there.”


  So An Feng had no choice but to get up from the bed.

  When they left the castle, the Old Madam and Nan Zhi were still asleep.

  Helian Xiao drove himself. Since An Feng hadn’t slept properly last night, she fell asleep once more in the car.

  When she woke up, she found herself at the Registry of Marriage.

  An Feng was shocked, thinking that she was still dreaming until Helian Xiao’s handsome face appeared in front of her. “Are you awake?”


  An Feng hurriedly looked up from Helian Xiao’s arms to meet his deep eyes. “You brought me here to register our marriage?”


  Helian Xiao hummed softly, taking the registration form the staff passed to him. “You’re not allowed to go back on your words after you accepted my proposal last night.”


  An Feng stared at the marriage registration form, before she took it and filled her particulars seriously.

  Helian Xiao had taken a special route, and they got their certificate of marriage within half an hour.

  On the way back to the castle, An Feng seemed to have thought of something. She furrowed her eyebrows as she said, “Didn’t we agree to wait until Zhizhi and Sihan got married? Why did we do it before them?”


  An Feng felt both happy and scared. It had only been such a short while since Helian Xiao and her gotten together and now they were already married, while they still hadn’t understood each other completely.

  Were they rushing into things?

  When they returned to the castle, An Feng went upstairs. Nan Zhi happened to walk out of her room and An Feng grabbed Nan Zhi’s hand, saying softly, “Zhizhi, I have something to tell you. Your Dad brought me to……”


  Seeing An Feng hesitate, Nan Zhi narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly. “Mom, we’re family, why are you beating around the bush?”


  “Your Dad brought me to register our marriage. We agreed earlier that we would wait until Sihan and you registered your marriage.”


  Nan Zhi froze, staring at An Feng quietly.

  “Zhizhi, do you think that it’s too quick between us too……”


  Before An Feng could finish speaking, Nan Zhi hugged her tightly. “Mom, this is a good thing! Dad is so eager to marry you because he’s afraid of you going back on your words and running away. I couldn’t be any happier that he cares so much about you!”
