It was past midnight.
Now, it was the wee hours of the morning.
Most people had already gone to bed during this time.
But the lamp in Yexuan's study was still lit.
As he entered the courtyard and saw the study door from afar, Yexuan hesitated for a moment.
Subconsciously, he wanted to flee from everyone here, from everything here.
If only he could roam the ends of the earth with Lili, how wonderful that would be.
"Prince, the lady is waiting for you," Ding Chen whispered.
Yexuan didn't respond and walked over.
Before he could knock, the door was already flung open by Nanny Cui.
Hua Rong was sitting quietly on a chair nearby, not even drinking tea, as if resting.
But her face lacked the peace of someone at rest.
Seeing Yexuan enter, anger flickered in her eyes, "For that woman, you dared to provoke Nangong Shuya? You know she's our enemy, yet you still called her 'Mother'!"
