Her knees were scraped raw, but she felt nothing.
Propping herself up, she continued to run toward the castle where she lived.
Her high heels faltered on the ground, twisting her ankle painfully.
She took off the troublesome shoes and ran barefoot across the grass...
Sweating profusely when she reached her home, she leaned on the door frame, panting, "Where's Ansel?"
The maid in the living room, seeing her disheveled state, was too shocked to speak.
Jian Yufei pushed past them and rushed upstairs.
"Ansel, Ansel!"
There was no sign of Ansel in the bedroom...or the study...
Nor in her own bedroom.
Jian Yufei's heart was in turmoil as she pushed open each door one by one.
"Ansel, where are you, come out—"
Where had Ansel gone, wasn't he supposed to be back?
Hadn't they agreed that he would wait at home for her, where had he gone?
Fear fiercely gripped Jian Yufei's heart.
She turned to go look for Nangong Wenxiang but collided with Qi Ruisen by the stairs.
