At the farewell, he was distant and indifferent, then halfway he sneaked up upon me. Had he not started speaking, Feng Yun may have thought she was dreaming...
Pei Jue was not the sort to indulge in such lover's affections.
She narrowed her eyes in scrutiny, sizing up Pei Jue from head to toe before asking with certainty, "Has something happened?"
Pei Jue grunted affirmatively.
Feng Yun sighed with relief.
"What troubles Your Majesty so deeply?"
Pei Jue bowed his head, slowly grasping the hand she placed on his knee and holding it in his palm, before suddenly lifting the corner of his lips.
"Missing Lady Yun."
Feng Yun's hand trembled.
Her entire body stiffened.
This was too out of character for Pei Jue.
Suddenly suspecting something untoward, she conjectured with unease, "Has something happened to Ayuan? You don't need to hide it from me. Tell me everything, don't play tricks and scare me."
