Chapter 44 Unexplained Heartache
Murong Yi walked briskly, like a gust of wind, through the bustling streets, and straight to a quiet little corner. This place was like a miniature garden hidden in the hustle and bustle of the world, with flowers in full bloom and green grass as lush as a carpet. It was cleverly surrounded by verdant flowers and trees, like a natural green curtain, isolating it from the disturbances of the outside world.
Murong Yi stepped into this small space and immediately saw Su Wan'er standing there quietly. She wore a long, moon-white silk dress, her figure graceful yet exuding an indescribable loneliness, like a solitary figure deep in a secluded forest. Hearing footsteps, Su Wan'er slowly turned around, tears glistening in her beautiful eyes, like stars falling into a deep pool, evoking endless pity.
She parted her lips slightly, her voice tinged with a sob and bitterness: "Your Highness, I heard that your marriage to Miss Lin has not only been arranged, but has also been brought forward by a considerable amount of time. Is this true?"
Murong Yi stepped forward and grasped her soft hands tightly, his hands trembling slightly with guilt and unease. "Wan'er, this is the Emperor's decree. As a prince, I am like a bird trapped in a cage, with no room for resistance. But you must know that in my heart, you are a unique and irreplaceable pearl."
Su Wan'er burst into tears, which rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string: "Your Highness, although I am of humble origin and have no noble family background to rely on, have all the days and nights I have spent with you over the years been like fleeting clouds?"
Murong Yi felt a pang of heartache. He gently embraced Su Wan'er, as if protecting a priceless treasure with the strongest barrier in the world. "Wan'er, you are the love deep in my soul. Time has proven that our bond is as solid as a rock. How could I forget you? I swear, I will never betray you in this life."
After speaking, Murong Yi slowly lowered her head, her gaze gentle yet firm, like a star falling into the deep sea. Her lips gently touched Su Wan'er's lips, the touch like a spring breeze brushing against flower petals, soft yet full of deep affection.
At first, the kiss seemed like a comfort, a promise, but gradually, the emotions surged like a raging tide, becoming unstoppable.
Su Wan'er was also moved by this deep affection. She slowly raised her arms and wrapped them around Murong Yi's neck, her fingertips digging slightly into his hair.
Murong Yi picked her up as if he were carrying the whole world, and steadily walked to a quiet corner in the garden, gently setting her down. His fingers, filled with reverence and love, gently untied Su Wan'er's sash, every movement extremely tender, his eyes never leaving her face, the deep affection in his eyes seeming to drown her.
Su Wan'er's cheeks burned like fire. She closed her eyes shyly, her delicate body trembling slightly, completely immersed in Murong Yi's love.
At this moment, the main street outside the garden was still bustling with people, but in this small world, time seemed to stand still. Murong Yi and Su Wan'er, in this gentle vortex, forgot the troubles of the world and the gloom of impending storm, and only cherished the love and affection that intertwined between them at this moment.
In another corner of the market, Lin Xiaoqian and Murong Feng strolled side by side, chatting and laughing. Murong Feng was witty and humorous, his words brimming with clever remarks, which frequently brought a smile to Lin Xiaoqian's face.
With him by her side, Lin Xiaoqian's worries seemed to be gently dispelled by a breeze, and she gradually felt a little more at ease.
The two strolled leisurely, unknowingly entering a quiet flower garden. As Lin Xiaoqian looked up, she suddenly caught sight of Murong Yi and Su Wan'er not far ahead.
Murong Yi gently embraced Su Wan'er, their eyes locked in a tender, loving gaze, their intimate posture revealing a deep and lingering affection. Lin Xiaoqian's gaze inadvertently fell upon this scene, and instantly, her heart felt as if it had been gripped tightly by an invisible hand, a sharp pain spreading throughout her body. Her expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly turned her head away, forcing herself to calm down.
"Your Highness, look at those lanterns over there. They're exquisitely designed. Let's go take a look," Lin Xiaoqian said hurriedly, her voice trembling slightly as she tried to distract Murong Feng with a lighthearted tone.
Having said that, without waiting for Murong Feng's response, she turned and walked in another direction, her steps slightly hurried, as if she wanted to escape this scene that was causing her so much turmoil. Although Murong Feng felt it was a bit abrupt, he didn't think much of it and, with a little doubt, gladly followed Lin Xiaoqian.
Lin Xiaoqian walked silently, her expression calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil. She didn't understand why she felt so heartbroken; the scene had deeply pierced her eyes and stirred her emotions. She could only swallow this bitterness, forcing a smile as she continued walking with Murong Feng, hoping to quietly bury this inexplicable feeling.
