Chapter 27: Reunion with Annie

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The residence that the Monarch had once bestowed on Ye Tian in the capital.

This place still retained its original appearance. There were special people in charge of the flowers and plants.

The people living inside were still those who had served Ye Tian before.

The door of a room in the backyard opened, and a beautiful woman with a mature temperament walked out. She had a beautiful face, and her figure was evenly distributed. She was wearing simple clothes.

The woman’s hair was casually combed and tied behind her head. She was about 30 years old and was in an extremely good state of mind.

She touched her face with her right hand, and a pool of light blue water slid past, removing some stains on her face, making her fair and rosy face even more charming.

This person was Annie.

“Ye Tian, where did you go?”

Anne sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, her hands resting on the tabletop to support her chin, her gaze fixed on the distant sunlight.

Back then, when Ye Tian left without a word, Annie was sad for a long time. She did not understand why and thought hard for a long time, wondering if she had done something wrong.

Initially, she thought that she would be able to return to her home after Ye Tian left. However, her parents seemed to have tacitly agreed that she had an indescribable relationship with him.

They wanted her to continue staying in Ye Tian’s mansion.

At that time, Annie felt very lonely and helpless. She felt like a child who had been abandoned by the entire world.

In the following days, Annie stayed here. When she had nothing to do, she would rummage through the things Ye Tian had left behind, accidentally finding the magic book.

Annie practiced with the intention of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, the effect was very good.

She was also a mage now, and her strength was not low.

Annie had thought of searching for traces of Ye Tian, but even the Monarch could not find any clues. What could a woman like her do?

In the end, Annie chose to wait silently in Ye Tian’s mansion. In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.

There was a sudden noise outside. Annie was forced to retract her wandering thoughts and get up to check on the situation.

Just as she got up from the stool and turned around, a familiar figure that was almost engraved in the depths of her mind suddenly barged into Annie’s sight.

“Uh… long time no see.”

The sunlight shone through the door and landed on a figure as Ye Tian spoke slowly with a smile.

She was stunned for a moment before her eyes widened and her pupils trembled slightly as she slammed into Ye Tian’s arms.

Annie held Ye Tian tightly as if she was afraid that she was dreaming and that Ye Tian would disappear again in the next second.

Feeling the delicate body in his arms tremble, Ye Tian’s raised hands hesitated for a second before slowly landing on Annie’s back.

…

In the evening.

Servants carried food into the backyard and placed it on the table.

When the food was served, before the last servant left, he informed the family head in the room.

Ye Tian replied and sent the servant away. He turned to look at Annie, whose eyes were still slightly red, and extended his hand.

“Let’s go. We can talk while we eat.”

Annie hummed softly and placed her hand in Ye Tian’s palm. Feeling the warmth, she could not help but tighten her grip.

The two of them sat down opposite each other. Annie looked at Ye Tian and asked curiously,

“Why did you leave so suddenly at that time? You didn’t even leave a word.”

In fact, this question had been pent up in Annie’s heart for a full ten years.

At that time, he had already seen through everything. It was as if he was not interested in anything other than increasing his strength. Moreover, he was very resistant to relationships, so he naturally did not want to leave behind any worries.

Ye Tian replied in his heart. The real answer was too hurtful.

“Breakthrough.”

“I see.”

Annie believed him and didn’t probe further.

Ye Tian nodded.

“You’ve been living here since I left?”

Annie paused in her action of picking up the meat, then recovered. She put the meat in her mouth and chewed before swallowing. Then, she said in a low voice,

“Back then, the Monarch ordered me to stay in this manor. My parents always thought that I had sex with you. Later on, when I wanted to go back, they said that a married daughter was like spilled water and told me not to go back. I had nowhere to go, so I stayed here.”

‘I’m afraid it’s not that simple.’

Ye Tian frowned slightly. Given the Monarch’s attitude towards him, it was obvious that he valued him greatly.

When he left silently, the Monarch might have suspected that the people in the residence had done something wrong to make him angry.

However, the Monarch definitely did not dare to be angry or punish them directly. If he guessed wrongly, he might have to bear his anger.

Therefore, there was a high chance that the Monarch was putting pressure on the families and parents of these people in the residence.

After figuring this out, Ye Tian could not help but feel a little guilty.

He had always remembered the education in his previous life and maintained an equal attitude towards people. Even though he was powerful now, he restrained himself from doing whatever he wanted.

It was precisely because of this that so many people were implicated because of a small action of his. Even if they were servants or maids, they would still feel embarrassed.

Ye Tian reached out and gently held one of Annie’s hands, looking into her eyes.

“I’ll find an opportunity to explain this misunderstanding to your parents.”

But Annie shook her head.

“Forget it, Ye Tian. Ten years have passed. There’s no need to explain.”

After saying that, a blush appeared on her pretty face. She was a little shy and did not dare to look straight at him.

“Ye-Ye Tian, I want to be your woman. I’ve liked you for ten years.”

Swoosh!

Ye Tian retracted his hand immediately, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Actually, he did not doubt the truth in Annie’s words.

However, he would be letting Windsor down if he did that.

Annie stood up and threw herself into Ye Tian’s arms again.

“Ye Tian, please don’t abandon me again. Perhaps I’m not worthy of you, but I’ll work hard. I’m also a mage now. I’ll work harder in the future.”

“I… I don’t want to spend another ten years alone. Every night, I always feel lonely and uncomfortable…”

To Ye Tian who had an unlimited lifespan, ten years was negligible to him. He could not feel the passage of time and almost did not experience any changes.

However, Annie was different. She was just an ordinary person. After experiencing the feeling of suffering day and night, she did not want to experience it again.

With this firm thought in mind, Annie did not know if she would have a second chance to meet Ye Tian in the future.

Therefore, she did not hold back and vented all her emotions.

Ye Tian caressed Annie’s hair with mixed feelings and comforted her gently.

At this moment, he thought of Windsor and how much he missed her all these years.

At least for this moment, Ye Tian felt that he could empathize with Annie’s emotions.

“Don’t you… regret it?”

After a long while, Ye Tian lowered his head.

Annie’s body trembled and she raised her head, revealing her tear-stained face as she answered Ye Tian’s question with a determined gaze.

Under the night sky, the shadows of the two people on the ground got closer and closer.
