At the moment of parting, his hand suddenly gripped her chin, forcefully, as his lips and tongue invaded, instantly seizing her breath.
After a while of lingering devouring, he reluctantly let her go.
In Xie Huai'an's dark eyes, there surged an indescribable emotion, and his slightly breathy words fell into her ear.
"Wait for me."
...
After their farewell, she waited for news to come, to handle his "aftermath."
As planned, the day after she returned to the house, Vice Minister Dong, with two young servants, hurriedly came to inform her.
At that time, Ruan Mian happened to be with Mrs. Zhang and others working on the products of Guishe Fang, and Vice Minister Dong, filled with sorrow, spoke up.
"Madam! Sir he... passed away!"
As soon as these words were uttered, Mrs. Zhang, Ruan Qing, and the others were stunned, looking on in disbelief.
"How...how could it be?! Lord Vice Minister, you must be joking with us, right?"
