Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

She sat on the edge of the cliff, staring ahead with empty eyes.

Li Tianze stood behind her, but Leng Youran didn't notice at all.

Li Tianze knew that she was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so he did not disturb her and sat down quietly on the stone next to her.

I stayed with her until late at night.

Leng Youran said in a hoarse voice, "Should I... not have been born?"

"No, why would you think that?"

Leng Youran sneered, "You know everything about me, right?"

Li Tianze did not hide it, "Yes, I knew it a little earlier than you."

"So, why was I born like this? I didn't have a family since I was little. After I came back, I also hoped for a happy family, but today, I..."

"Little girl, do you know that everyone's birth in this world is destined? You are not wrong. The only mistake is that there are too many coincidences in your birth. Perhaps those coincidences are not because of you, but they are just preconceived."

Leng Youran shook her head. "You don't have to comfort me. Actually, I know that the late emperor passed away on the day I came back. I don't believe it if you say these are all accidents. It's just that I, it hurts so much here... I didn't do anything... Why... Why... Do you have to make me endure it..." Leng Youran grabbed her heart and curled up into a ball.

It looked like a porcelain doll that could break at any moment.

Seeing her like this, Li Tianze didn't know how to comfort her for a moment. He moved his body, held Leng Youran in his arms, and let her cry silently in his arms.

"You know what? You're like a ray of light, illuminating not only me but many others. Perhaps, perhaps your fate cannot be changed, but since you came back, do you think the fate they talked about can control you at will?"

"You're not the person they say will bring disaster to everyone. On the contrary, perhaps because of your appearance, you will lead the rest of us to a different life. Don't you think that since your return, many people have begun to change?"

"There's always been a kind of magic about you that's impossible to ignore, but it has nothing to do with what they call seductive eyes. It's your true nature, a light that radiates from within."

"But, but my family abandoned me...just left me like that...I..."

This is what Leng Youran can't accept the most.

In her previous life, she thought she was an orphan.

When she learned the meaning of orphan, she realized that it was a child that no one wanted.

She had been bullied and suffered countless ridicules.

All because she was born an unwanted child.

After she came back, she was overjoyed for a long time when she learned that they did not intend to abandon her. Now she had just gotten used to having her relatives around her.

But he also told her that she was really abandoned mercilessly back then.

It was abandoned by the person she respected the most after she came back.

Everything about her is controlled by others.

Even her name was chosen because it could just suppress her fate.

She didn't know what she had left.

None of this was what she had initially imagined, not at all.

Li Tianze was very anxious when he saw that she was trapped in her own world and couldn't get out.

But he really doesn't know how to say comforting words.

He could only stand there and let her sob softly with her head resting on his waist.

After a long time.

Leng Youran finally stopped crying, raised her head with red and swollen eyes, looked at Li Tianze standing straight in front of her, and said, "Are you interested in having a couple of drinks with me?"

"my pleasure."

Leng Youran smiled quietly, and this smile struck Li Tianze's heart.

His heart was pounding wildly.

Two jugs of wine appeared in Leng Youran's hands at some point, and he casually stuffed one into Li Tianze's hand.

Li Tianze suddenly woke up when he touched the wine jar.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now."

"Then I have to apologize too for getting your clothes wet." Leng Youran smiled slightly when her beautiful eyes touched the wet mark on his waist.

"No problem, it's an honor to be relied upon by you."

Leng Youran took a sip of the white wine and turned it around before swallowing it. It was not because she couldn't drink, but because Li Tianze's words "your support" touched her heart.

Neither of them spoke for the rest of the time, just drinking back and forth.

When the sky turned pale, more than a dozen empty wine jars were scattered all over the place behind the two men.

"Whoever said that a single drunk can relieve all worries, that's complete bullshit."

Li Tianze looked at her sideways. At this time, Leng Youran's cheeks were flushed, making her look even more charming against the backdrop of the morning glow.

This scene was deeply engraved in Li Tianze's heart.

Until a long, long time.

Of course, this is all later.

"Are you feeling better?" Li Tianze said hesitantly.

Leng Youran stood up, and perhaps because of the drinking or because he had been sitting for too long, his body swayed.

This frightened Li Tianze so much that he quickly hugged her in his arms and brought her to safety. He scolded her, "Why are you so careless? What if you fall?"

Leng Youran stared at him with her dark red eyes, making Li Tianze turn his head away in embarrassment.

Seeing that he suddenly felt like teasing her, Leng Youran stretched out a finger to hook his chin, and pulled it hard so that his face was facing her. She said incoherently: "Do you like me? Do you have any bad intentions towards me, huh?..." After the words fell, without waiting for Li Tianze to answer, Leng Youran staggered and fell into Li Tianze's arms.

Li Tianze held her waist with his hands stiffly, and the softness of her waist made him reluctant to let go.

He didn't even need to lower his head to smell the fragrance coming from her hair.

For a moment he was actually a little infatuated.

He bent down and placed a kiss on the top of her head.

The kiss landed, and my heart was startled.

When did he become so shameless?

He actually took advantage of someone who was drunk to do such a dirty thing.

His heart was pounding, and he didn't know what to do with his arms around her.

I do not know how long it has been.

Noticing that the breathing of the woman in his arms was becoming more and more steady, Li Tianze's stiff body slowly relaxed and his heart calmed down.

He stretched out his arms, picked up the person in his arms, and flew down the mountain.

When they caught up with the carriage, they had already met up with the people Leng Youran brought with him.

Everyone was looking around when Li Tianze came back carrying her.

Only after seeing them return safely did Old Master Leng hunch back into the carriage.

Li Tianze was afraid that she would be sad when she woke up and saw the Leng family, so he carried her to the carriage he was riding in.

Li Tianming was still sleeping soundly upstairs when Li Tianze kicked him down without any hesitation.

After settling Leng You down, Li Tianze ignored Li Tianming who was nagging beside him and went to Old Man Leng's carriage.

"Ran'er, are you okay?"

"Drank a lot of wine."
