Carl reluctantly let go of her lips, looked down at her, and his eyes were full of emotion.
"The Southern Battlefield is too far, this kiss isn't enough."
Only then did Qiao Suisui understand what he meant by 'labor dispatch fee', her cheeks flushing red.
She lowered her head to hide her expression, thrust an envelope into his hand, and said, "Come back soon."
Carl held her hand against his chest, leaned in unexpectedly to kiss her once more, chuckled mischievously, and said, "Wait for me to come back."
He had slipped out from a mission to have this romance; he couldn't stay long.
Watching Carl walk into the void, Qiao Suisui suddenly felt a void in her heart. Almost instantly, she was left alone in the vast palace, feeling its enormity and her isolation more acutely than ever before.
Days passed as usual.
