Upon seeing Shao Zifan, a hint of delight appeared on Bai Li Hongzhuang's face. Since coming to Canglan Academy, she had been busy with her cultivation and rarely saw Shao Zifan.
"Yeah, there's nowhere to go during the break, so we might as well go back," Bai Li Hongzhuang smiled lightly. "Are you also going back? Why don't we go together?"
Hearing her words, Shao Zifan glanced at Emperor Beichen and smiled, "It would be too much of a disturbance if I were to go with you. I just came here to say hello."
Bai Li Hongzhuang nodded slightly. In fact, if Shao Zifan were to go back with them, it would probably be quite awkward for him as well.
Not far away, Xuan Yuanhuan's gaze also fell upon Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen. In the imperial city, he used to be the center of attention, but since coming to Canglan Academy, he seemed to have faded away, and Bai Li Hongzhuang and Emperor Beichen had become the focus of everyone's attention.
Ever since he sent the news of Emperor Beichen standing up back to the imperial city some time ago, his father had repeatedly urged him not to offend Emperor Beichen under any circumstances.
The constant reminders clearly indicated that Emperor Beichen had an extraordinary background.
He couldn't understand why Emperor Beichen, who used to be nothing more than a muddy existence in his eyes, had now become someone he couldn't afford to provoke.
His father hadn't clearly explained the reason to him, only hoping that he would understand the underlying cause after this trip back.
Regarding Bai Li Hongzhuang, there was also a touch of sadness in Xuan Yuanhuan's expression. Bai Li Hongzhuang was supposed to be his fiancée, but now she had become Emperor Beichen's rightful partner.
With Bai Li Hongzhuang's growing strength, he increasingly felt that her charm was irresistible. Although he was still attached to her in his heart, he understood that there was no longer any possibility between them.
In a way, this was the biggest regret of his life.
Feeling the burning gaze behind her, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but turn around and look back. When she saw Xuan Yuanhuan's figure, a trace of indifference appeared in her phoenix-like eyes.
"Wife, let's go."
Emperor Beichen mounted his horse, extended his hand, and looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang with a smile.
The golden sunlight bathed Emperor Beichen, adding an extra halo to his figure. His handsome face and extraordinary temperament dazzled Bai Li Hongzhuang's eyes.
However, in the next second, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but frown. "Where is my horse?"
They had clearly bought two horses, so why was there only one now?
She had only pondered about something for a moment, so how could the horse disappear?
Upon hearing Bai Li Hongzhuang's question, Emperor Beichen's smile widened. "My wife, I saw that Shao Zifan was alone and hadn't prepared a horse, so I gave him yours. After all, the two of us can ride together on one horse, don't you think?"
Bai Li Hongzhuang shifted her gaze and, sure enough, Shao Zifan was holding her horse not far away!
Turning her head back, Bai Li Hongzhuang narrowed her eyes and stared at Emperor Beichen on the horse. This guy's audacity had grown even thicker.
"Riding together on one horse is a bit uncomfortable. I'd better go buy another horse."
However, just as Bai Li Hongzhuang turned around to prepare to buy another horse, Emperor Beichen directly grabbed her hand and pulled her onto his own horse.
Caught off guard, Bai Li Hongzhuang exclaimed, "Emperor Beichen, you!"
