“Ms. Ye, how could I blame you for that?” Wales grabbed a document from the lawyer who was standing behind him and said, “This is a gift of gratitude that I’ve prepared for you, Ms. Ye.”

Ye Tianxin received the document. Before he opened the pouch, she thought that she didn’t save him because she wanted something in return.

When she opened the document pouch and looked at the gift inside, she couldn’t bring herself to reject it.

“Mr. Wales, this gift is too precious.”

The gift that Wales had given to Ye Tianxin were precious relics that belonged to the Empire but were taken by invaders.

When Wales gave these two relics to Ye Tianxin, all she could think about was how she had to donate these relics to the Forbidden City.

“Ms. Ye, you should know that money was never a concern for me. It’s pretty much all that I have left. In this world, any problem or issue that can be resolved with money is just too simple for me.”

Ye Tianxin raised her eyebrows as she looked at these relics.

“I will accept this gift. Thank you, Mr. Wales.”

“You’re very welcome, Ms. Ye.”

Ye Tianxin and Wales engaged in small talk for a while more before Wales bade her farewell. Ye Tianxin took the documents with her and returned to the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom, Li Qingcang was long gone.

She wasn’t sure when it happened, but he had just sneaked away silently.

There was an intense feeling of disappointment that welled up in Ye Tianxin’s heart.

He left again.

When would be the next time they could meet again?

“Qingcang?”

“Dear.”

Ye Tianxin searched around the entire bathroom and bedroom, but she still couldn’t find Li Qingcang.

She had no choice but to call Jing Zhichen instead. “Zhichen, this is Tianxin. Wales gave me two very precious gifts as an expression of his gratitude for me saving his life previously. I want to ask, do you know any dependable security companies? We need to contact a security company and tell them to help us bring these items back to the Empire… Ah…”

Just as Ye Tianxin was engrossed in the conversation on the phone, Li Qingcang suddenly hugged her slender waist from behind.

“Tianxin, what’s wrong?”

Jing Zhichen heard Ye Tianxin gasp in surprise, he was immediately worried whether some accident had happened to Ye Tianxin.

“Tianxin? Are you alright?”

Tianxin’s face turned red as she said to Jing Zhichen through the phone, “I’m fine. Zhichen, something else came up just now, I’ll hang up first.”

Tianxin couldn’t wait for another second to hang up the phone. After hanging up, she tossed the phone aside, turned around, and hugged Li Qingcang’s neck.

“Qingcang, my dear, didn’t you leave?”

Just now, when she called out to Li Qingcang and heard no answer, her heart was brimming with disappointment.

He left again without making any sound or letting her know.

“My little sweetheart. We’re so high up the building, where am I supposed to go? I can’t jump down through the window, can I?”

Ye Tianxin giggled and said, “Qingcang, can you tell me how you left back then from the Capital University? Also, why are you wearing a mask now? Did you injure your face in the explosion?”

Li Qingcang couldn’t help but laugh at her questions. He lowered his voice and said, “My little sweetheart, you are overthinking things. I didn’t disfigure my face.”

“I don’t believe you unless you open up the mask and show me.”

Ye Tianxin reached over and touched the mask on Li Qingcang’s face, as though she was going to take it off. Li Qingcang raised his hand and grabbed Ye Tianxin’s tender palm.
