Broken Hearts
Days passed and Xing knew for sure that Chenglei is preventing her from leaving the manor for some reason. Even the way to the mountains was damaged.
"His highness wanted to build a lake here with viewing pavilions and so we have dug this place up", Lin Mubai bowed his head as he explained Xing. But seeing her dejected snort, he felt extremely guilty and was unable to explain further.
Of course there is another lake in their Manor and there won't be any need to build another one exactly in the way their Princess Consort goes to the mountains. Even he didn't understand why his brother wolf is acting weird these days.
Xing tried to talk to Chenglei but he was not willing to talk to her and even started to complain that he had work and mostly he slept in his study.
There was one day when he even walked out right in the middle of dinner without eating when she tried to talk to him. And Xing stopped asking him what bothers him after that.
