The woman chatting with Dongfang Jian was named Dugu Xiu, the Emperor's favorite daughter.
It was precisely because he knew Dugu Xiu's true identity that Dongfang Jian deliberately sought her favor, doing everything he could to please her.
It must be said that Dongfang Jian really had a talent for charming women; no matter how difficult they were, in the end, they all tended to develop a fondness for him...
And sure enough, Dugu Xiu had developed a fondness for Dongfang Jian.
As the sun set, the sky slowly darkened, and candlelight began to illuminate the Snow Garden.
"It's getting late, I should take my leave," said Dongfang Jian, reluctant to part as he stood up, saluted Dugu Xiu with a fist, then turned to leave.
"Will you come tomorrow?" Dugu Xiu asked softly.
"Um, yes, I'll definitely come!" nodded Dongfang Jian without any hesitation.
"Good," Dugu Xiu replied with a slight smile: "I'll wait for you tomorrow."
