Song Lianhe could only relax after she finally found him.
She saw Zhou Cangyan's face was as black as thunder, clearly provoked by someone. He looked as if he wouldn't rest until he'd chopped down the entire forest.
If the trees could protest, they'd have beaten the imperial grievance drum to shreds!
What had they ever done to deserve such a fate?
On the way back, Song Lianhe watched him cautiously. "Who did you go see?"
Zhou Cangyan stopped short.
She stopped with him.
Zhou Cangyan turned to her, his brow furrowed, and asked abruptly, "If I were to die, would you marry another?"
"If you... Bah!"
Song Lianhe jabbed a finger into his chest. "What nonsense is this? Bite your tongue! Go on, do it!"
But Zhou Cangyan grabbed her hand, his gaze unwavering. "You haven't answered me. Would you marry another?"
Seeing he wasn't joking, Song Lianhe laughed in exasperation. She coaxed him, "Of course not!"
