Chapter 138

Her white dress decorated with sparkling gemstones reflected the light of the swaying lantern. She put a thin coat over her slender shoulders and a golden dragon hairpin and ornate floral and butterfly ornaments in her black hair. Rouge had been applied to her little white face.

Her hair ornaments swayed in the wind coming from somewhere.

Small jewels hit against each other and clinked.

A soft and sweet fragrance came out of the incense sachet hung somewhere in the room.

She was so beautiful the sight of her broke his heart.

"Why do you have those ornaments in your hair?"

"Are you sneering at me now?" She asked in a sullen voice, trying not to cry.

"Why should I sneer at you?"

"I…" She couldn't finish her words.

Nonetheless, he chuckled, which made her shiver.

He always wanted to see her face to face, but he couldn't even hug her. She was so beautiful tonight.

He turned around and came to her bed. When he stopped before her, she flinched and trembled.
