Xing Zhan had previously noticed Xing Ru's feelings for Yue Bei Yang, and since he had to report everything to Xing Zhan, he would certainly know that Miss liked Yue Bei Yang.
But why was he asking like this now?
Xing Ru's body stiffened, and then her face turned red.
Xing Zhan quickly said, "It seems that Ah Die's little Ru'er is in love..."
Xing Ru's face turned even redder.
Xing Zhan looked at her, but the smile on his face did not reach his eyes.
I'm sorry, Ru'er, this is the path you chose yourself. Ah Die is just going with the flow...
In recent years, Yue Bei Yang had gained considerable prominence.
King Yue did not have many princes, and Yue Bei Yang originally had no hope of ascending the throne. However, in the years since his return to the palace, he had been very restrained and humble, which had suddenly made him stand out among the princes.
It even infringed upon his interests, thus generating a sense of caution.
No one could touch the power in his hands!
"Tell Ah Die, who is the person you have in your heart?"
While Xing Ru hesitated, she saw Xing Zhan turn his back and say, "Ru'er has grown up and has secrets from Ah Die..."
"Ah Die..."
"Ah Die, it is... it is His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
Xing Zhan was instantly overjoyed.
However, if it were the father of an ordinary person, upon hearing Yue Bei Yang's name, he would likely hurry to arrange a good marriage for his daughter and immediately make her give up any thoughts of him.
This was because this man was too cruel and heartless.
No one could truly enter his heart.
In the past, it wasn't that no one was moved by his appearance, but they were all dissuaded by his coldness.
However, Xing Zhan's reaction was completely different.
"Whatever Ru'er wants, Ah Die will find a way to satisfy you."
At first glance, these were very heartwarming words, but they instantly changed Ling Ye's expression.
This man was clearly pushing his daughter into a fiery pit!
But upon seeing the expression on the young girl's face, he seemed to feel that his worries were unnecessary.
She would be happy, wouldn't she...
As the only daughter of General Xing, her coming-of-age ceremony was naturally extraordinary.
Even the Queen of Yue, along with the princess, came from the palace.
"Sang Sang!"
As soon as Xing Ru saw Yue Nan Sang, she eagerly pulled her over.
"Ling Ye!"
Xing Ru called out to Ling Ye.
"I want to talk with Sang Sang here for a while, you should leave for now..." https:/
Ling Ye hesitated.
"Ling Ye~"
Because of their five years of interaction, Xing Ru was no longer as afraid of Ling Ye, and would even occasionally act spoiled with him.
Like now.
The young girl's face was always pale with a blush of pink, her small, palm-sized face was sweet and charming, and whenever this happened, his heart would pound relentlessly.
A shadow flashed and then disappeared from the spot.
"He really listens to you..."
Yue Nan Sang looked meaningfully at Xing Ru, and as soon as she turned her head, her eyes met Yue Nan Sang's.
In Yue Nan Sang's memory, she had seen Xing Ru, this dark guard, many times. Each time, she wore black, and half of her face was covered by a mask, making her seem cold and mysterious.
Even she dared not approach this man.
But Xing Ru could act spoiled in front of him.
Yue Nan Sang smiled, "Little Ru'er, you two..."
Almost the next second, Xing Ru pounced forward and covered her mouth.
"Sang Sang!"
Xing Ru said exasperatedly.
"Then, does Sang Sang happen to like my second brother?"
This time, Xing Ru merely had a spring blush on her face, but did not immediately respond.
It was as if... her thoughts had been revealed!
"Could it be that you truly like my second brother?"
Yue Nan Sang had long since noticed it. As a good sister, she understood Xing Ru very well.
Xing Ru, who usually wore plain clothes, would always change into a vibrant outfit and put on delicate makeup when entering the palace.
And this was always the case.
Yet, she had few opportunities to see Yue Bei Yang.
Yue Nan Sang sighed, "Little Ru'er, my second brother..."
She paused for a moment before continuing, "He is truly a cold-hearted person!"
"I know." Xing Ru did not deny it and readily agreed.
"You still like my second brother?"
Although Yue Nan Sang was bolder than Xing Ru, she had not yet fallen in love in her eighteen years, so she didn't quite understand.
However, her second brother was inherently indifferent, so it was likely that...
"Sang Sang, I..."
But perhaps, perhaps the lovely little Ru'er could melt that iceberg with her sincere heart?
Yue Nan Sang thought of this, and then said, "Little Ru'er, give it a try!"
This try led to an engagement.
Xing Ru was also shocked. She had just told her Ah Die her feelings, and the next moment her Ah Die had obtained an imperial decree from King Yue to grant her and Yue Bei Yang a marriage.
Xing Ru's heart was filled with fear, yet also with hope.
The wedding plans were made for half a month, and it was finally set for three months later.
That was the winter of another year.
Normally, winters had little snow, and Xing Ru thought this year would be the same.
But...
A hundred miles of red trousseau appeared exceptionally dazzling in the white snow.
This was the winter five years later. Xing Ru married the young man who had saved her back then.
It was also a rare occasion for her to see snow.
But it was also exceptionally cold.
On the wedding night, red candles flickered, and the leaping flames seemed to shine.
Thump! Thump!
Xing Ru's heart also pounded.
Her hands, due to excessive nervousness, kept twisting her black dress.
Black was honored, so the wedding attire was black.
"Creak!"
Her heart began to beat even more violently, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!"
Yue Bei Yang, dressed in ceremonial robes matching Xing Ru's, gradually approached the person on the wedding bed.
Her small figure trembled slightly at this moment.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he searched his memory for this woman's image.
Each time, she would follow behind Yue Nan Sang, peeking out her head.
She always looked so delicate and timid, which was irritating to see.
Moreover, he could clearly see his own reflection in her eyes.
"Wang Fei~" A Dai's voice called out.
Following that, another "creak."
Someone opened the door and left.
Xing Ru became even more nervous because she could feel a shadow standing before her, but the person made no sound.
It was Yue Bei Yang.
She would not mistake the aura emanating from him.
"Bei Yang Gege?" she tentatively called out.
This was the first time she had called him that when she first met Yue Bei Yang, taught by Yue Nan Sang.
But he had never properly responded.
Even though the room was quiet now, with only the two of them.
Yue Bei Yang showed no emotion. He even frowned upon hearing this "Bei Yang Gege."
He disliked this woman calling him that.
He abruptly lifted the veil from her head.
"Wang Fei."
As their eyes met, Xing Ru saw the man's thin lips part.
Then this cold and distant address entered her ears.
It carried a bone-chilling coldness, as if it were trying to freeze her alive.
It created an insurmountable distance between the two of them.
