Xi Ying felt unwilling to go to Xi Manor now. His heart was feeling so heavy.
She must have left. Why would she not?
He never gave her any reason to stay in the past four years.
It felt surreal when he thought that he really lives the past four years without seeing her when she was in his manor.
Now living without her seemed to kill him.
A part of his heart still wished for her to stay in Xi Manor selfishly.
He slowly rode his horse to Xi Manor. It was dark when he reached Xi Manor. Getting down from his horse, he stepped inside Xi Manor and walked towards the Plum Courtyard.
The maids and servants who saw him lowered their heads and greeted him.
The Plum Courtyard was silent and lit with red lamps reducing its desolateness from the manor. His steps halted when he was just outside Li Rui's sleeping room.
