"I understand his intentions, but now I lack nothing, Eden. Help me take this back to him, so from now on, we owe each other nothing." Wei Anning closed the lid and handed the ornate box back.
Eden frowned, "Anning, this is Father's wish. You should accept it."
Wei Anning thought about it and eventually accepted it, treating it as a wedding gift from her father. However, in this lifetime, they probably won't have the chance to meet again.
The two sat for a while. Wei Anning saw Leng Youchen escorting Hamandan away and returning from the dock, so she pulled Eden up and walked towards the castle.
"Eden, can you stay with me for a couple more days here? I'm afraid there won't be another chance in the future."
It wasn't easy for Eden to come quietly, evading everyone this time. If they were to meet again next time, who knows when that might be.
