"Thank you for trusting me. You know, I stayed for a few days in the room where you used to live in the Imperial Court... Rong Heng, from now on, neither of us will be alone."
Rong Heng hugged her contentedly, the exhaustion and fatigue of the past few days vanished completely. His heart was full, and after hearing her words, he realized something, and his heart ached: "The Imperial Court... it was very cold there, Lanlan, I won't let you suffer anymore."
"I won't either."
Rong Heng's nose tingled, and his tone betrayed a bit of grievance: "But you lied to me, how should I be compensated?"
Gu Lan was taken aback: "Besides that matter, when did I ever lie to you?"
"You said that after I finished those candies, you would be able to reach the Southern Border—"
Before he left the Marquis Mansion, Gu Lan specifically packed a jar of candies for him, saying that she should arrive at the Southern Border once he finished them.
