Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic.

"Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAQI2VMKLViw
"I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do."
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8ngDngUx0K
I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAyKQPzi1S12
"I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now."

The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge.

Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you."
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWjnevmrjy6
"I forgive you, you crazy jerk."
61Please respect copyright.PENANAq5atrgF7If
"You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her.

Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care.

Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance.

The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst."
61Please respect copyright.PENANAopq31ZEGzG
I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAzrqsYM6epF
I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up"
61Please respect copyright.PENANAlPJVSCFZdz
"And next time, don't enter my room without permission."
