Chapter 769: Chapter 769 Never Be Apart The man reversed his grip to hold her small hand and slowed his pace. “You look sullen, I thought you were unhappy.” “Perhaps it’s because I didn’t sleep well last night.” Ye Yiheng spoke without a ripple, yet inside, a storm was brewing. Last night in his dream, he actually… Could it be that one’s daydreams turn into night dreams? “An inn naturally can’t compare with home,” Leng Yu Yan said with a smile, “The weather has indeed become cooler, both the night and early morning feel much more comfortable.” Hearing her say “home,” the corners of Ye Yiheng’s lips curled into a smile. “Shall we hurry home?” “Before returning home, I’d like to stop by Linqing Pavilion first. There are matters to attend to, and I’ll take Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter with us. Is that alright, Your Highness?” Ye Yiheng nodded and tightened his grip on her hand. All of them were young, and aside from Miao Zhusongguo, who was almost devoid of any physical skill, the others were all quite capable. Song Guo not only had to serve Ye Yiheng but also managed the extensive Eastern Palace, which meant a significant workload every day. Such training had made her physically very strong. Moreover, Miao Zhu was strong; climbing a mountain was a minor matter for both of them. Thus, the group quickly reached the mountain’s summit. Arriving in front of Yuelao Temple, Leng Yu Yan followed Ye Yiheng and stood still. Watching the young men and women coming and going, seeking blessings for marriage, Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but whisper, “It seems that finding a favored other half is something everyone looks forward to.” Ye Yiheng, however, asked, “Haven’t you ever thought of it?” She countered, “We are already married, what else would I think about?” He asked again, “Before we got married, you never thought about it?” She admitted honestly, “I truly never did.” At that time, she thought that having suddenly traveled to this world, she might suddenly return to the modern era after a while. So, while girls her age dreamt of love, she truly never gave it any thought. “Do you want to hear the truth?” He nodded, “Naturally.” She sighed, “I once thought of myself as a passerby in this world, uncertain when I might return. So, when it came to matters of love, I really never considered them.” No matter the era, everyone dreams of a passionate love affair. Before she met him, she didn’t think about such things at all. In her view, no matter who she fell in love with, her eventual departure would be a hurt to that person. Unexpectedly, she was later given in marriage. Ye Yiheng grasped the essence of her words precisely, uncertain when she might return. So, she would leave, leave the world where he was? His heart suddenly sank, he squeezed her hand tighter and muttered, “Yanyan, will you truly go back?” Leng Yu Yan was startled, her lips parted, unsure of how to answer. Just then, Miao Zhu came up playfully, “Master, let’s go offer our prayers first.” Ye Yiheng let go of Leng Yu Yan’s hand, smiling gently, “Let’s go.” Inside Yuelao Temple, Leng Yu Yan and Miao Zhu knelt on the cushions and prayed with sincerity. Afterwards, Leng Yu Yan d some money for the oil lamps and went looking for Ye Yiheng. Song Guo, seeing Miao Zhu still in the temple, went inside to find her. Not to be outdone, Mo Chen Ruofeng quickly followed the two inside. Seeing the three of them , Leng Yu Yan couldn’t help but smile, yet from the corner of her eye, she caught sight of someone looking deeply pensive, as if weighed down by thoughts. Yuelao Temple was crowded inside and out, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they changed their terms of address. Song Guo and the others called them “Master.” Just as Leng Yu Yan was about to call him “Your Highness,” she hesitated and quickly corrected herself, “Husband, what are you thinking about?” Ye Yiheng’s lips twitched slightly, he had thought that even if she fled to the ends of the earth, he could find her. Even if she escaped back to the modern era, he would find her. But reality and reason told him that if she really returned to the modern era, he would be powerless. Hearing her call him “husband,” Ye Yiheng smiled faintly, yet he couldn’t help but ask, “Would you go back?” Leng Yu Yan shook her head, “It’s been more than six years. If I could have gone back, I would have done so long ago, wouldn’t I?” “What I mean is, if you had the chance to go back, would you?” Leng Yu Yan looked up at him and countered, “Would you want me to go back?” Ye Yiheng embraced her and said solemnly in her ear, “I hope you are always by my side!” People inside and outside Yuelao Temple looked towards them. A handsome man and a beautiful woman hugging each other was quite a rarity, and in no time, the number of onlookers increased. Leng Yu Yan patted his back and whispered, “There are too many people here. It’s inappropriate for us to be hugging . Let me go first.” His arms, however, tightened, “Promise me, then I’ll let go.” Why was he acting so childishly? Leng Yu Yan found it both amusing and ridiculous, yet on second thought, did he really fall for her? “I won’t go back.” ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱 The truth was, whether or not she could go back wasn’t for her to decide. Just like her initial transition wasn’t something she could control. Hearing the answer he wanted, Ye Yiheng finally let her go. Miao Zhu came running out, holding a piece of red silk, excitedly saying, “Masters, why don’t you toss a red silk?” Leng Yu Yan asked her, “Aren’t you going to toss one yourself?” Miao Zhu looked toward Mo Chen, Ruofeng, and Song Guo emerging from the temple’s entrance, her face flushing red, “All three of them want to write on a red silk with me, but I’m just one person. How can I write with three people together? So I won’t toss.” After all, she had already asked Yuelao inside Yuelao Temple to help her find an excellent husband! Leng Yu Yan waved her hand, “There’s no need. Everyone here is seeking a romantic match, and my husband and I are already married, so there’s no need to toss the red silk, right?” Ye Yiheng took the red silk from Miao Zhu and went straight to the table for writing on red silk, and began to write. This action caught the attention of many onlookers. One woman whispered a complaint to the man by her side, “Look at him, so handsome and willingly writing on a red silk. You don’t want to write with me, do you have another woman in your heart?” Many others directed envious gazes towards Leng Yu Yan, and she had no choice but to step up beside him. She saw he had written “Li Yu Yanyan forever together” on the red silk. Their current identity necessitated it; it was inappropriate to write their full names for all the public to see. But the fact that he wrote this made her heart tremor. Miao Zhu ran over, pointing to the highest part of the marriage tree, “Masters, they say the higher you toss, the more effective it is!” The wind was strong on the mountain, making it a bit tough to get the red silk to catch on a branch, let alone the highest point. Many people had to toss several times before they succeeded, and in the end, as long as it caught on a branch, they were satisfied. Ye Yiheng picked up the red silk, placed it on his slender fingers, and turned his head to ask Leng Yu Yan, “Should I toss it higher or lower?” “You’re asking strange questions. If we’re going to toss it, it has to be at the highest point!” Leng Yu Yan pointed to the treetop. To Ye Yiheng, her words meant she was willing to be with him forever. With that, he pushed off on his tiptoes and leaped, effortlessly hanging the red silk on the highest branch. Fearing it would be blown down by the wind, he directly tied a knot. The kind of knot that could never be untied!
