Chapter 367: Chapter 368: You’re Lying

The more I can’t stay, the lonelier it gets.

The tenderness left unfinished, only a departure song remains.

——Sin Band "Departure Song"

...

...

"Where are you going?!" Huangfu Jue asked in confusion.

Where to go?

She didn’t know either!

"Probably... start by finding a job, and then we’ll see."

A job?

A look of surprise flashed across Huangfu Jue’s eyes, which was immediately followed by a smile.

"You have a point, it’s really quite boring to be cooped up at home." He knew she was not one to sit idle; for her to stay home as a full-time wife certainly wasn’t what she wanted, and after a thought, Huangfu Jue spoke indulgently, "I recently invested in a new hotel in the city center, why don’t you go manage that?"

She had the experience and the ability; she should be able to handle it with ease.

Gan Yuan pursed her lips, "I... I didn’t mean that."

"Then... okay!" He was still gentle, "You find it yourself, I won’t interfere."

She was always proud; it wasn’t surprising that she wasn’t willing to accept his arrangement.

Gan Yuan clenched her fists, facing such a face, how was she supposed to speak?

She bit her teeth and suddenly pulled off the blanket from her body, grabbing the clothes beside her and forcefully putting them on.

The clothes, chilled by the spring night, felt cold against her skin.

"You didn’t understand. I’m leaving, I want to leave this place, leave A Country, leave..." She took a deep breath and struggled to spit out the word, "you!"

"It’s cold outside..." Huangfu Jue stood up with concern, reaching for the blanket to wrap her in it, but as he heard the last word, his movement froze mid-air, "What did you say?"

She dared not look into his eyes, "I have thought it over seriously, we... cannot get married."

"Why?" The man’s brow furrowed deeper.

"I... I can’t adapt to life here, you were born to be a prince, but I was never meant to be a Princess Consort."

The man frowned, "Did someone say something to you?"

She had already accepted his proposal, yet now she was changing her mind; Huangfu Jue knew there must be some complication.

She shook her head.

"Impossible!" Huangfu Jue grasped her shoulders firmly, "Gan Yuan, listen carefully, I want to marry you, that’s my decision, and no one can change it, not anyone, not even my parents!"

"Ajue!" she suddenly lifted her face, "How can you not understand, we are people from two different worlds..."

"Is it my father, right?" he guessed.

The person capable of changing her mind had to be significant; apart from parents, Huangfu Jue could think of no one else.

"I tried!" She took a deep breath, "I truly tried, and I didn’t want to give up..."

"Then don’t give up."

"If only things were that simple." She could hardly speak, still forcefully controlling herself, "Stop it, it’s impossible for us, let’s... break up!"

"Is it him threatening you?" Huangfu Jue’s face darkened, "I will go and see him now!"

He strode toward the tent exit.

"Huangfu Jue!"

Gan Yuan called out to him sharply, and as Huangfu Jue turned around, he saw her spreading out her palms toward him. Moonlight streamed in through the transparent roof of the tent, lighting up her palm where the ring with the red diamond sparkled brilliantly.

"This is my own decision, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. This... take it back!"

Huangfu Jue brushed aside her palm with a sweep of his hand, "You’re lying."

Instinctively, she closed her fingers, clasping the ring tightly.
