“Early in the morning, Ye Wǎnwǎn woke up from a nightmare.
“Oh no, oh no!” Startled, Ye Wǎnwǎn quickly sat up, her face full of panic.
Sì Yèhán, who was beside her, frowned and looked at the girl. A trace of nervousness flickered in his eyes as he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn exclaimed, “My little darling! Where’s my little baby!!!”
Sì Yèhán’s expression froze, “Little baby…?”
Anxiously gesturing, Ye Wǎnwǎn explained, “It’s that big stone covered in red cloth, the Chi Yàn Academy monument that Jiang Li hated losing to me! It’s gone!”
Sì Yèhán said, “You…”
After the intimate moment they had just shared, her first thought upon waking up was about a piece of stone?
Sì Yèhán took a deep breath, preventing himself from pushing her back onto the bed, “Is that all you want to say?”
As Ye Wǎnwǎn was still anxious, she suddenly caught sight of the dark clouds on Sì Yèhán’s face, and belatedly realized what had happened.
Oh no…
Hastily, she moved closer with a conciliatory expression, “Well… if it’s gone, it’s gone. It was just a piece of stone after all!”
Although she said this, her heart was bleeding; she had lost fifteen thousand honor points!
“It was taken by your subordinate,” Sì Yèhán said.
Ye Wǎnwǎn’s eyes brightened, finally relieved that her ‘little baby’ was safe.
Now that she knew her ‘little baby’ was safe, Ye Wǎnwǎn remembered the main issue and excitedly said, “Actually, I wanted to say, darling, you see, our love gu has been lifted. Now you should believe me, right? I’ve said that I only like you.”
She believed that even with her memories restored, her feelings wouldn’t change.
With the academy monument in hand, she was only one ten-thousand-honor-point away from finding the dean for the third hypnosis session.
Sì Yèhán greedily looked at the girl in front of him, gazing at the cufflink hanging from a red string around her collarbone.
The bloodline on their bodies had vanished without a trace; they were safe. This meant that she did indeed like him, at least at this moment.
This realization brought immense joy to him, even though it was accompanied by great turmoil.
After a moment of silence, Sì Yèhán took something out of the drawer by the bedside and handed it to Ye Wǎnwǎn.
“What’s this?” Ye Wǎnwǎn blinked, skeptically accepting it.
To her surprise, when she opened the box, she found an extremely familiar ring inside…
“I can’t believe it, isn’t this the ring that Emperor Jì auctioned at the charity event?” Ye Wǎnwǎn exclaimed, trying to conceal the spark of greed in her eyes.
Sì Yèhán glanced at her, “Didn’t you want it?”
Ye Wǎnwǎn shook her head decisively, looking wary, “No, I don’t want it!”
Seeing her struggling to refuse the gift, a smile replaced the coldness in Sì Yèhán’s eyes, and the last trace of concern disappeared, “Are you sure?”
Her pounding heart made it impossible for her to say “no.” She cautiously asked, “Why are you suddenly giving this to me?”
Clearly, they had argued about this ring last time…
Muttering to herself, Ye Wǎnwǎn added in a low voice, “Could it be because I performed well last night?”
Sì Yèhán’s face stiffened at her words, suddenly becoming a little awkward, “There’s no reason, it’s just a ring.”
Ye Wǎnwǎn: “…”
Oops…
His attitude changed so drastically?
Actually, it should have been like this from the beginning. She was devoted to him, so there was no need for her to feel jealous over a ring.
Hmm, could it be that after this day and night, he finally realized that he truly had a place in her heart as the main consort?
How sinful! If she had known, she would have done everything to seduce him sooner, sparing herself from so much trouble…
