No wonder he could not find Chu Fei'er no matter how hard he tried. No wonder she would not agree to meet him, saying that her health was in bad condition.

An Yexuan was feeling more enraged the more he thought about it. His face turned red in anger, and he punched the bed frame, almost breaking it.

Xie s.h.i.+liu sincerely hoped that An Yexuan would punch it a few more times. Since it was wood anyway, his hand was the only thing that would get hurt.

But since she went through training, she knew that the real Chu Fei'er would throw a tantrum, so she raised her head to look at An Yexuan and said, "If you're angry at me, I think it's better for me to leave!"

An Yexuan grabbed Xie s.h.i.+liu's arm immediately. "No, I'm not angry at you. I'm angry at myself. Don't go. I… Although you may not remember, we used to be a couple, and now, this happened. I'll marry you. How about that?"

An Yexuan was afraid that his 'Chu Fei'er' would leave, so he grabbed her hand tightly.

Xie s.h.i.+liu only lowered her head without saying anything.

An Yexuan tried every way to convince her, saying that it was his fault and that he would take responsibility.

"If it's only to take responsibility, then you can save it."

"No, Fei'er. I've liked you and loved you for so many years. It's not just to take responsibility. I'm true to you and have always been looking for you."

"I heard that you have a relations.h.i.+p with Ding Wen'er."

An Yexuan turned green, and he tried to clear things up. "That was Yun Bixue setting it up. She did it on purpose. I have no ties with Ding Wen'er at all. She simply wanted to curry favor with the An family. Please trust me."

Xie s.h.i.+liu looked at the anxiousness on An Yexuan's face in disdain. An Yexuan was indeed a brainless fellow. In her eyes, he was not even worthy of carrying shoes for Young Master Xie.

However, for her mission, she would endure and stay with An Yexuan.

On the tenth day of the new year, a breaking news spread throughout the imperial city—Young Master An from the An family was going to marry. He had found the woman he was looking for, and the two were swiftly preparing to get married.

This news shocked many people. It was too sudden that it caused people to be speechless since there was no news of it before at all.

"Who would've thought that it would be so fast?"

"An Yexuan has found the person he loved for so long. It was rumored that she's dead, but she's still alive. Who knows which news is accurate?"

"The news has already reported about it. It's not fake."

"We don't know if those gossip news are true. An Yexuan does not wield any influence anymore, so which woman would be willing to follow him?"

"Hmph. Although he does not wield any power now, An Yexuan does have a certain influence. If he has the means to do it, it's possible for him to get the whole An family back."

"The An family is so big, so it's not something one can simply obtain. What kind of joke is that?"

"It's not a joke. The An family was not like it was before. It's chaotic in their family right now, so let's just wait for the good show!"

…

An Yexuan had no idea about the rumors in the imperial capital since he was happily preparing his and 'Chu Fei'er''s event.

When Master An heard about the news, he was furious and immediately called An Yexuan back to reprimand him. "Yexuan, you're a disappointment!"

An Yexuan stubbornly replied, "Father, you've abandoned me already. Do I not have the right to decide on my own marriage now?"
