"If you dislike me so much, then leave. Anyway, I'm just like this, doing whatever it takes to achieve my goals, cold and heartless. Am I right?" Hua Yueye looked down at her haughtily, a hint of mockery glinting in his pitch - black eyes.
Hearing this, surprise flickered in Su Qingwen's eyes. She took a step forward, as if she wanted to reach out and grab Hua Yueye.
But he was like a wounded animal and wouldn't let her touch him no matter what.
At that moment, Su Qingwen's heart sank. Was he really angry this time?
"I didn't mean it." Su Qingwen lowered her head, admitting her mistake like a child. "Do you think I'm being really ungrateful?"
"No." Hua Yueye sneered and shifted his gaze away from her. "I'm just thinking that maybe you've never really understood me or known the efforts I've made for you."
After saying this, he lifted his eyes desolately, then turned around resolutely.
Watching his back, Su Qingwen's heart suddenly felt empty. She was afraid to let him go again. Immediately, she tiptoed and rushed behind Hua Yueye, quickly hugging his waist tightly. "Hua Yueye... It's not like that. I just can't accept it for the time being..."
Her voice was trembling non - stop, as if she had suffered a great deal of grievance.
Hua Yueye frowned deeply. He clenched his fists, desperately trying to be cruel to her, but he couldn't do it. Sure enough, he couldn't let her go. With a sigh, he suddenly turned back and hugged her petite body. He directly picked up Su Qingwen in a princess carry and headed towards her imperial chamber.
He rather roughly threw her onto the soft couch, then pressed himself down on her and frantically kissed her lips.
Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, Su Qingwen gritted her teeth and didn't resist him.
Realizing her deliberate submission, Hua Yueye suddenly didn't want to be cruel to her anymore. He just gently tidied up her clothes and stroked her forehead with his long fingers. "If you make this mistake again, it won't be so easy for you to be forgiven. Do you understand?"
"Okay." Su Qingwen nodded obediently. She lay on her side in his arms and said, "Hua Yueye, can we be good to each other from now on?"
"Sure." Hua Yueye hugged her warm body. "You have to believe that everything I do is for your own good..."
Su Qingwen reached out and covered Hua Yueye's lips, blocking the words he was about to say. She shook her head. "This matter is over. Don't mention it anymore. Now, I want you to accompany me to watch the lanterns."
She didn't know why, but this thought suddenly popped into her mind. Su Qingwen just wanted to watch the lanterns. The weather was just right. Although it wasn't the Hungry Ghost Festival, didn't TV shows and novels always write like this? The hero and the heroine would surely have some story when watching the lanterns.
The man's eyes were full of doting. "Okay." As he said this, he lowered his head and stroked Su Qingwen's hair, then put his arm around her waist and picked her up.
"Um, what are we going to do now?" Su Qingwen asked in shock.
"Don't you want to watch the lanterns?" Hua Yueye squinted his eyes and looked at her with great interest. "Hurry up and put on your shoes. I'll let you have a good look later."
Goodness, was this man so efficient? Su Qingwen glanced at him in surprise, then quickly put on a rather "decent" dress.
The royal - blue long - sleeved flowing fairy dress made her waist look so slender that it seemed one could hold it with one hand. Her skin was fair, and her figure was excellent. Su Qingwen even put on a bit of rouge on purpose. In this way, she looked much more energetic.
There seemed to be a glimmer of light in her eyes. She smiled at herself in the mirror. Su Qingwen felt like a little girl going on a date for the first time. Her heart was really filled with longing and joy.
It was getting a bit dark. Su Qingwen nervously smoothed out every wrinkle on her dress and slowly walked out.
"Your Highness, please follow this servant." At this time, a eunuch walked up to Su Qingwen and bowed his head.
"That's not right. Shouldn't we go out of the palace?" Su Qingwen raised her eyebrows and asked with a bit of confusion. How could one watch the lanterns without going out of the palace?
"This is the Emperor's order." Without much explanation, the man bowed his head slightly.
Su Qingwen couldn't help covering her lips and smiling. This Hua Yueye was really something. He just liked to do these strange things.
She found that this seemed to be the way to the imperial garden. She guessed in her heart that maybe Hua Yueye had arranged a small lantern display for her in the imperial garden.
But she was wrong.
Before she got closer, Su Qingwen was surprised to find that there seemed to be tiny glimmers of light in the imperial garden. The lights were very small and could move. What were they?
"Fireflies?" Su Qingwen quickened her pace in shock. Hua Yueye was really capable. He could even get fireflies at this time of the year.
Walking into the flower bushes, Su Qingwen felt as if she had stepped into a fairytale world. The fireflies around were flying, as if the Milky Way had been brought into reality. Moreover, the fragrance of the flowers filled the air. Everything was so quiet and beautiful.
"Hua Yueye, where are you?" It was getting late, but Hua Yueye still didn't show up. Su Qingwen was a bit anxious and helplessly called his name.
At this time, sky lanterns appeared in the sky, one after another, almost lighting up the dark sky. There were also lights in the lotus pond.
"This..." The scene was really too beautiful. The warm yellow light shone on Su Qingwen. She blinked her eyes, feeling that everything was so unreal.
"Qingwen." Hua Yueye's voice came from behind her. Su Qingwen turned around in shock and saw Hua Yueye walking towards her with a lotus lantern in his hand.
The lotus lantern was made so vividly that it looked like a real lotus. Su Qingwen looked down at the lotus and was surprised to find that even the veins on the petals were carved out.
"Don't you want to watch the lanterns? Which one do you like here? Just pick whatever you want." Someone said "dominantly" like the owner of a fishpond.
Su Qingwen was amused by him. She pointed at the lotus lantern in his hand. "I don't like any of the others. I just like the one in your hand."
"Okay." The man doted on the woman in front of him and stuffed the lotus lantern into her hand. "Sure, it's just a lantern. Here you are."
The lotus lantern was quite heavy, and there seemed to be something inside. When Su Qingwen took it, it even moved.
"Oh my god, what's this?" Someone asked in a frightened voice.
