“This is my final decision. You can leave now,” the emperor said expressionlessly.

Murong Qing looked at the emperor, but he did not say anything. He simply turned around and left.

The disappointment in his eyes was so obvious.

It made the emperor"s heart ached.

Once Murong Qing"s figure disappeared, the emperor still had not returned to his senses, gazing in the direction he left. “Have I made a mistake? But everything I do is for his well being.”

Qing"er was still young and naive. He would never allow anyone to hurt his son.

Therefore, he would not allow that girl to enter the imperial family!

The emperor"s gaze became calmer as he thought of this.

‘One day, Qing"er will understand that everything I do now is for him."

After leaving the imperial study room, Murong Qing went straight back to his manor.

From a distance, he saw Nan Chiyou sitting in the courtyard.

The little girl looked so beautiful. It was as if she stepped out of the paintings. Simply stunning.

It seemed that the little girl also felt his gaze and turned to him. She frowned, somewhat confused.

“Maiden Xia Xia…” Murong Qing finally asked, “Can you… Stay in my manor forever?”

‘As long as she is willing to stay by my side… Even if Father disagrees, I will still fight for her."

Ever since he met Xia Xia, it was impossible for him to like any other woman.

Nan Chiyou froze, pursed her lips, and said, “I"ll go home when my father isn"t angry with me anymore.”

“Then… After you go back, will you still come here?” Murong Qing lifted his handsome face, staring at Nan Chiyou expectantly.

Nan Chiyou thought about it for a while before shaking her head. “I"ll leave after you"ve recovered. I also promised Nan Ming to travel with him through these thousands of mountains, and I can go home after the tour.”

This was not a place she could stay for a long time, but she had made a promise before to wait for his recovery, so she had to stay for a while.

“Why?” Murong Qing"s face turned pale as he smiled bitterly. “Is it because I"m not good enough here? Just say it, I can give you anything you want.”

Nan Chiyou looked up at Murong Qing calmly.

There were no emotions in her calm eyes.

“This is not my home, so why should I stay here forever?”

Indeed. This was not her home, so why should she stay?

Murong Qing lowered his gaze. He wanted to tell her that this place could be her home. However, he was not able to say it out loud.

At this moment, he was even more envious of that wolf king.

The wolf king could always follow Maiden Xia Xia without worrying about when she would leave it.

“Maiden Xia Xia, I"m sorry.” Murong Qing"s eyes were filled with guilt. “My aunt was too rude before, and she made you…”

“Ah Ming!”

Murong Qing was not done speaking, but Nan Chiyou had turned and saw the wolf king walking toward her.

The wolf king walked elegantly as if it was the king of this world.

However, its expression instantly turned as gentle as the spring breeze after it saw Nan Chiyou.

Nan Chiyou ran toward the wolf king smilingly and hugged its warm body. “Have you sent the letter?”

“Mhm…”

The wolf king smiled warmly.
