"Princess, may I take a few days of leave?" Fan Lanying asked with hesitation.
Ming Hui looked up. When he looked at the flustered young girl, his lips unknowingly formed a smile. "What is it?"
"My brother took leave for a week. I want to spend this time with him," Fan Lanying answered. Her brother rarely goes home and even if he did, it will only be for a short time. When they were still young, she loved to play with her brother. Because of that, she highly missed her brother. She didn't wish to miss this chance.
"Sure, give me a heads up when you're about to return," Ming Hui nodded.
"Thank you, Princess! I will return soon," Fan Lanying said excitedly. She didn't realize that the eyes of the 'princess' in front of her turned a bit dark. He's sad that she will leave, but he cannot confine her inside the palace and refrain her from meeting with her family. She won't be happy that way.
