Lansheng was being watched the entire time, and Florana stepped out, interrupting the conversation between Lansheng and Shi Aiqiao.
"Your Highness, it's time for you to return," Florana reminded Lansheng.
Lansheng looked toward Shi Aiqiao.
Shi Aiqiao knew he had no control over his situation, and nodded slightly, "You should hurry back."
Lansheng reluctantly got into the car, and as the window lowered, he gazed at Shi Aiqiao.
Shi Aiqiao waved to him.
The window slowly rose, obstructing their view of each other.
...
The engagement date between Lansheng and Eve had already been set, widely announced and even inviting leaders from other countries.
Shi Aiqiao was staying at Eve's manor and could feel the hustle and bustle of the servants, with people coming and going, and an air of festivity all around.
Everyone was immersed in joy, and the royal palace frequently sent over jewelry and ornaments.
