Thousands of Love

The damp and cold sea breeze instantly swept through the entire room.

Yu Zhizhi seemed to see a black shadow. She slowly tightened her dress and saw the vague outline, which looked like a snake.

A black snake.

It looked a little painful. Yu Zhizhi didn't even have time to see its entire face before she saw the black snake's figure slowly disappearing.

The black snake was swallowed by the white mist.

The golden lotus carved in the window was lifelike. Mist swayed, slowly converging two meters from the bed, forming a human figure.

Yu Zhizhi saw his appearance clearly.

"Your Majesty the Duke...?"

The attendant who brought her here said he wanted to see the city lord, but she didn't agree, so he used forceful means.

Yu Zhizhi thought of the black snake again...

Could that be the mayor of Silan City?

So, it was the Duke who took action just now?

Yu Zhizhi suddenly thought of something, she raised her hands and touched the mask on her face.

The mask is still there.

He also drank the potion that concealed his breath.

that……

She looked at the figure not far in front of her in a daze, unable to tell whether it was the real person or a clone?

The Duke should be in the banquet hall right now...

The bedroom fell into silence.

Yu Zhizhi didn't dare look directly into the eyes of the man in the white mist. No matter whether it was a clone or the real body, the Duke appeared here, he must have recognized her.

I just don't know when he knew that she had also come to Silan City.

Yu Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She mustered her courage and looked at the man's golden pupils in the mist. "Congratulations."

He is getting married tomorrow.

Apart from saying "congratulations", Yu Zhizhi didn't know what else to say.

As soon as the words fell, Yu Zhizhi seemed to hear the man chuckle.

The Duke's tone was the same as when they first met, lazy and with a hint of indifference: "How dare you come back?"

Yu Zhizhi's breathing was slightly choked.

She thought about the Duke's previous attitude. Would he choose a beastly husband from the Valoran Empire for her after the wedding tomorrow?

"I...I'm with Lord Shenhe."

Her voice got lower and lower.

Not very confident.

Yu Zhizhi didn't expect to have private contact with the Duke.

After he gets married, they will never see each other again.

The Duke hasn't contacted her for such a long time. Perhaps he has already thought it through and doesn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.

On this planet, beastly husbands must be loyal to their wives.

He will only be loyal to his wife.

The Duke's expression remained unchanged when Yu Zhizhi mentioned "Shen He." White mist curled and swayed in the wind. His golden pupils stared intently at the little female beside the bed. After a long moment, he turned and left.

The Duke said nothing.

It was like everything about her had nothing to do with him anymore.

When Yu Zhizhi saw this, her heart skipped a beat. Before she could react, the man had already rushed out.

"Your Majesty the Duke."

Yu Zhizhi reached out and grabbed his sleeve in the mist. If she didn't ask some questions clearly, she might never have the chance to say them again in the future.

Perhaps this was her last meeting with the Duke.

The Duke turned around, his golden pupils fell on the little female's white mask, and he stared at her without saying a word.

Yu Zhizhi grasped his sleeve, her fingertips trembling slightly: "Do you... do you like her?"

Does he like that lady Elaphe?

"I like it, so what."

There was no extra emotion in the Duke's tone, which was different from before. His temper had not been very good before, and Yu Zhizhi had seen him angry too many times.

She felt a little bitter in her heart.

Just as imagined, the Duke chose to marry Miss Rattan Snake because he liked her.

That's why I left the imperial capital.

and so……

It's not like before, when he always tried to find ways to catch her.

Favorability dropped to zero?

Yu Zhizhi felt her head buzzing, as if she was struggling to survive. She murmured, "Can I not like her..."

In fact, what she wanted to say was—

Can you like me?

But she has no right to say such things now.

Yu Zhizhi slowly let go of her hand.

She realized that the mission could no longer be completed and she would remain in this world forever.

Yu Zhizhi's nose felt sore.

She took two steps back.

The Duke's golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly. He saw a crystal clear tear sliding down the chin under the mask. The little female's shoulders shrank slightly, crying silently, with great forbearance.

He suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the white mask on her face.

Take it off.

He saw the little rabbit's red eyes, looking at him in panic.

"Why are you crying?" he asked.

Yu Zhizhi stared at the man in front of her in a daze.

Without the mask, her emotions had nowhere to hide.

Yu Zhizhi quickly turned sideways and wiped the tears from her chin with the back of her hand: "I, I... I just feel a little sad..."

--sad?

The Duke stared closely at the little female in front of him: "Why didn't you seem sad when you wanted to commit suicide because of that loser?"

Yu Zhizhi said nothing.

The Duke sneered.

What did she just ask?

Is it possible to not like someone else?

"Yes," the Duke said word by word, "release the territory, divorce them, and return to me."

Yu Zhizhi was stunned.

The Duke had an expression that said, "I knew this would be the reaction." He slowly turned around, and the snake's tail swam slowly in the white mist.

He didn't say anything else and left the bedroom.

Yu Zhizhi pinched the hem of her skirt tightly.

Everything was over between her and the Duke.

As the Duke was leaving, he heard sobbing behind him. He paused slightly, a hint of anger gradually appearing in his golden pupils. He pursed his lips tightly and chose not to return immediately.

After a long time, he left without looking back.

Yu Zhizhi cried very sadly this time.

She sat on the cold ground, leaning against the bed, holding a soft white pillow in her arms.

At his curled-up feet was the white mask thrown away by the Duke.

Bree came outside at some point and listened to Miss Rabbit's crying with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

He couldn't help but look back and look at Lord Shen He beside him.

The other party stood in the shadows and did not make any move.

it's getting dark.

Bri saw Lord Shenhe sigh, he walked into the bedroom and walked behind Miss Rabbit.

"How long will you keep crying?" Shen He's tone was not gentle, but it was warmer than usual.

He squatted down and placed his large palm on the little female's head.

"It's just a marriage, what's the big deal?"

Yu Zhizhi raised her wet rabbit eyes and looked at the huge shark that suddenly appeared. For some reason, she wanted to cry even more.

Shen He felt that the little female rabbit in front of him was the most troublesome creature in the world.

She is weak, cries easily, attracts many men, and is fickle.

He has seen many people cry.

Whether it's excitement, passion, fear, or pain...

Those who crawled on the ground and begged for mercy tremblingly could never make him soften his heart.

But it's different now.

He didn't want to see her cry.
