Long Aixi had been nervously watching her the entire time, yet he didn't say much, understanding that she probably wanted some peace at that moment.
He got onto the carriage first and then pulled Xia Dabao up, the two sat inside the spacious coach, where there was no sense of urgency. Xia Dabao sat silently, and Long Aixi just kept watching her.
The journey was silent, and thus they returned to the General Residence.
After descending from the carriage, Long Aixi then escorted Xia Dabao to her room door. Their rooms were connected. After she entered, she locked the door.
Finally alone, she walked to the bed, lay down burying her face into it.
She wanted to cry, but tears wouldn't come out.
What was there to cry about?
When Tian Xiaobei had left Peach Blossom Village, she had already prepared herself for this, knowing their destinies were different and they would eventually drift apart.
