Qin Yiyuan coughed twice, his pale face turning even paler. He looked so weak that he seemed about to vanish into thin air, making Yun Yi feel so sorry for him that she wanted to reach out and pat his back.

However, Qin Yiyuan raised his hand to stop him: "Thank you for your concern, sir. I am fine. May I ask what important matter brings you here, Lord City Lord? Ahem, how about we move to the front hall so I can tidy up before we discuss this?"

Yun Yi withdrew his hand, straightened up, and casually sat down next to him: "Can't you come and see your savior if there's nothing wrong?"

"Lord City Lord, you flatter me. It was nothing to repay you with such a life-saving favor. You have been working tirelessly to govern Youran City, and I have only done what I could. Cough cough."

Tsk, this kid is really good with words.

She refused to believe it, not even...

Connect to what?

Yun Yi frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

"Lord City Lord, is there something amiss?"

Qin Yiyuan spoke up, interrupting Yun Yi's thoughts. In an instant, he shook off the strange feeling in his heart and waved his hand: "It's nothing. But you, why did you refuse my thank-you gift? Don't tell me you look down on my little gift?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yiyuan pursed his lips, stood up, and bowed slightly in greeting.

This time, Yunyi didn't stop him.

"Lord of the City, I am unworthy of such a title, and I have no intention of being disrespectful in the slightest."

"Forget these empty formalities and I don't want to hear any high-sounding words. I, the city lord, only want one thing from you: will you marry me? I promise..."

"Will you marry me? I promise I'll always cherish you..."

"I promise I'll keep you in my heart..."

"I'll treat you well, be honest with you, and care about everything you do..."

"Being good to you, treating you honestly, and..."

what happened?

The words that suddenly popped into Yunyi's mind left her bewildered. Why did that fleeting figure of Zhuozhuo seem so familiar?

(I do want to marry you.)

(I trust you.)

(Yunyi, we will always be behind you.)

(lady.)

(daughter in law!)

(My wife.)

(Daddy~)

(Wife owner.)

"Shangguan..."

Suddenly, a hand appeared before her eyes and, while Yun Yi was lost in her memories and completely unprepared, gently touched her brow. The next second, everything went black before Yun Yi's eyes, and she lost consciousness.

Unconscious, Yunyi fell to the ground and was immediately embraced.

A person walked in from outside the courtyard gate; it was Naqu Qin.

He bowed respectfully and said to Qin Yiyuan, who was holding Yunyi, "Lord God, she seems to have regained her memories."

Qin Yiyuan, having shed his previous image of a weak and sickly beauty, placed Yun Yi, whom he was holding, on a rocking chair beside him. Looking down at her with an air of cold disdain, he said, "I didn't expect she could break my spell."

Qu Qin took two steps closer: "My Lord, I don't understand why you didn't just end her directly? Your foresight is not a manifestation; she will ruin your plans."

Qin Yiyuan looked up: "Is it better that it's broken?"

Qu Qin was puzzled.

"Alright, take her back. The plan remains unchanged."

Qu Qin hesitated for a moment, then finally replied with a "yes," before picking up the unconscious Yun Yi and leaving the Qin residence.

City Lord's Mansion.

Yunyi's eyelids twitched slightly, and she slowly opened her eyes, followed by a throbbing pain in her temples.

"hiss--"

He sat up while rubbing his temples with his hand.

Why does my head hurt so much?

"Colorful butterfly!"

The voice wasn't loud, but Cai Die, who was waiting outside the door, heard it and immediately opened the door to enter: "Lord, you're awake. Would you like to wash up and have a meal?"

"Ah."

As Yunyi responded, a group of people entered to help her wash up, change clothes, and tidy up the bed.

But Yunyi felt that something was wrong.

I don't know what's wrong.

My head hurts too much.

After getting ready, she stepped out the door. Qu Qin was still standing at the door. The moment he saw her, he cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Greetings, City Lord."

"Qu Qin, you really are diligent..."

Ouch, my head hurts so much.

Why does this scene feel strangely familiar?

"Lord, I have something to report, as well as the city's harvest this time..."

"Alright, alright, let's eat first and then talk."

For some reason, her headache lessened whenever she heard Qu Qin talking about business.

Did you not sleep well?

Or is the illness not cured?

After finishing breakfast, Qu Qin said, "City Lord, Young Master Qin has sent a message inviting you to a gathering at Zuixianlou tomorrow."

Yunyi paused.

A bizarre thought flashed through my mind: Huh? Why is today different?

But those words vanished in an instant, replaced by surprise: "Really! Could it be that he's come to his senses?!"

"This... I don't know, but since Young Master Qin's attitude has softened, perhaps he also intends to do so?"

Ignoring her full stomach, Yun Yi slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Great! That's wonderful!"

"Butterfly! Butterfly! Come on, come on, let's go to the Treasure Pavilion and buy some things for your future son-in-law!"

Qu Qin: ...

It seems he meant to meet at a restaurant, not an engagement party, right?

Besides, how could the God Lord really marry her? It's just part of a plan!

By the time Qu Qin was about to say something, Yun Yi had already disappeared. Qu Qin gritted his teeth: "You're not doing your official duties again!"

As Yun Yi walked down the bustling street, everyone who passed by would respectfully address her as "Lord City Lord".

Yunyi, as if it were a common occurrence, nodded in response while surveying his territory, leading the colorful butterfly following behind him all the way to the Treasure Pavilion.

He would even hum off-key tunes from time to time when he was in a good mood.

"Oh, Lord City Lord, what an honor to have you here! We are truly sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

Before even stepping into the Treasure Pavilion, a person quickly came out; it was the manager of the Treasure Pavilion, surnamed Liang.

"Manager Liang, business has been good lately."

Following Manager Liang's respectful guidance, Yunyi stepped into the Treasure Pavilion and glanced around, seeing many people making selections.

However, because of Manager Liang's loud shouts, they all turned around and bowed respectfully to her.

Yunyi waved his hand at these people: "You all do your thing, just watch what you're doing."

After saying this, the people bowed again before continuing to read.

It seemed like she was used to her coming to the Treasure Pavilion.

Yunyi herself felt that this was not her first time here, but she always felt both strange and familiar.

However, he was quickly interrupted by the news that "Young Master Qin invited me to a gathering at Zuixianlou". He said to Manager Liang with great joy, "Manager Liang, you are too kind. I came today to pick out some good things for Young Master Qin. Please don't try to fool me with ordinary goods."

Shopkeeper Liang knew this was a joke, so he naturally laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare. Please come upstairs, City Lord. My shop just received a few new items, which haven't been announced yet..."

The last sentence was whispered to Yunyi, which made Yunyi raise an eyebrow.

The Treasure Pavilion holds a top-tier position in Youran City, even the Qin family gives it deference. The name 'Treasure Pavilion' is well-deserved, as it houses a vast collection of rare and precious treasures.

For Manager Liang to say such a thing, this new product must indeed be of good quality.

Yunyi immediately became interested.
