After the departure of the old monarch and the Elder Queen, Helian Chengyan's heart became weighed down.
Yes, he hoped for his grandparents' reconciliation and wished to spend time alone with Chi Xingye. However, he couldn't help but worry that she would leave him once again, especially since the only reason she had agreed to stay a little longer was due to the health concerns of his grandmother...
As he feared.
When Helian Chengyan emerged, now dressed in casual home clothes, Chi Xingye was already waiting for him in the drawing room, a severe look on her face.
Chi Xingye bit her lip and began, "Chengyan, I need to talk to you."
"Alright, we can discuss it after dinner," Helian Chengyan replied indifferently.
"...I'd rather we talk now." If she didn't speak her mind, Chi Xingye felt she wouldn't be at peace and wouldn't be able to eat.
"What do you want to discuss?" He knew the question even before he asked it.
