Chapter 246 – The Grand Finale

Chapter 246 - The Grand Finale

After Zhou Bānbān decided to stay, Mo Cangyan promptly issued an edict for their wedding, fearing she might escape.

Before Zhou Bānbān could grasp the situation, she found herself married to Mo Cangyan and seated on the throne as the Empress.

During these few days of living together, her heart would involuntarily race whenever she saw Mo Cangyan. That inexplicable sense of familiarity grew stronger whenever she saw him, especially when he was with Mo Fuyao.

She was now certain that she was the person Mo Cangyan had been waiting for, the mother whom Mo Fuyao had constantly yearned for. It was just a matter of time before she regained her memories.

...

Learning that the one the Emperor had been waiting for had returned, Mo Lingyun and Zhang Luoyi brought their children to visit her.

Upon arriving at Fengchun Palace, they found Jiang Jue and Mo Qingcheng were already there.

Mo Fuyao, after waiting so eagerly for her mother's return, clung to her affectionately.

Yet, she also adored Consort Li and would sneak into the Embroidered Spring Palace at night to sleep with her.

It seemed that her love was evenly divided!

Looking at this woman who bore no resemblance to Feng Xiyao, Jiang Jue felt a mix of emotions swirling within him.

It was only after Feng Xiyao's departure that he realized the true Feng Xiyao had vanished long ago.

"..."

Feeling Mo Qingcheng's melancholy, she reached out and held his hand.

A warm sensation transmitted from her palm, causing Jiang Jue to curve his lips into a smile.

In these five years, Mo Lingyun and Zhang Luoyi had another son, whom they named Mo Qizhi.

Mo Qizhi was now four years old and spent his days mischievously roaming around the mansion with his elder sister.

Mo Zhenzhu led Mo Qizhi to Zhou Bannan, addressing him in a childish voice.

"Auntie, how lovely to see you!"

Admiring the adorable innocence of the two, Zhou Banban couldn't help but dote on them, showering them with numerous treasures.

It was nightfall.

Mo Cangyan arrived at Fengchun Palace and found Zhou Bannian on the bed, her bottom in the air as she counted something.

It was no surprise to him what she was doing; he couldn't help but smile wryly.

Both Feng Xiyao and Zhou Bannian were money enthusiasts.

"So much money!"

Zhou Bannian turned around, her eyes sparkling with delight at the sight of the man who had entered.

"Mo Cangyan, I never expected that marrying you would be so profitable!"

The man strolled over, casting a glance at the bed filled with gold and silver treasures. A self-satisfied smile tugged at the corners of his lips.

He raised his hand to pinch her cheek. "Being married to Your Majesty is worth far more than all these!"

Zhou Bannan's laughter twinkled in her eyes as she turned back to continue counting the money.

With such a heap of treasures on the bed, it was impossible to finish counting them anytime soon.

With great effort, Mo Cangyan had finally managed to send his daughter away, longing for some intimate moments with her. He was not about to let this precious time slip away.

He reached out and pulled the woman, who was attentively counting her money, into his embrace. Gently grasping her chin, he initiated a deep kiss...

Zhou Bannian was overwhelmed by the kiss, wrapping her arms around the man's neck and surrendering to his affection willingly.

"..."

After a long and passionate kiss, Zhou Bannian gasped for air. Suddenly, her hand was seized by the man and placed upon his abdomen...

Feeling the solid touch, Zhou Bannan's cheeks flushed instantly.

"Beast!"

The man captured her earlobe between his lips, his voice muffled.

"It's been five years; I've been holding back too long..."

Staring at the man before her, both familiar and foreign, Zhou Bannan wondered what emotions he had carried all these years while waiting for her. She tenderly kissed his forehead, feeling his pain.

"Considering you waited so many years for me, I'll let you have your way tonight!"

"Alright!"

Mo Cangyan was about to press her onto the bed, but noticing the obstructing items on it, he carried the woman in his arms and spun around, settling her on the couch instead.

"Let's try it here!"

The couch was positioned against a window, and blushing, Zhou Bannan shook her head.

"Mm..."

Without waiting for her rejection, the man pounced on her like a wolf and a tiger.

...

Chapter 1: Qin Fang

Upon learning of Feng Xiyao's return, Qin Fang hastened his journey back.

He watched from afar as the two figures, hand in hand, strolled under the setting sun, a relieved smile curving at the corners of his lips.

Only after they disappeared from sight did he withdraw his gaze.

He had been stationed in Province North previously, and this visit was to catch another glimpse of the one who dwelled deeply in his heart.

Seeing her now living happily made him content.

Considering his father's persistent advice, he realized it was truly time to let go.

After visiting his father, Qin Fang returned to Province North.

Gazing at the people coming and going beneath the city walls, he smiled genuinely.

Xiao Feng is now also a high-ranking official in the court, he thought.

Perhaps Province North is where he truly belongs. Here, he might find someone to spend the rest of his life with...

2 Feng Haonan and Lin Fei'er:

After Zhou Banban regained her memory, she was astonished to learn that her brother had married Lin Fei'er.

Finding out that her introverted brother had been the one to pursue Lin Fei'er, her eyes widened in disbelief.

"My usually reserved brother actually took the initiative to pursue someone he liked!"

Lin Fei'er chuckled secretly, for in reality, it was all part of her well-laid plan.

After that day when Feng Haonan saved her, she stayed by his side as his little maid.

Over time, she realized she had fallen in love with him.

But she knew Feng Haonan's character; confessing directly would be futile.

So she secretly courted him, only to abruptly withdraw when he was hooked, leaving him longing and urging him to confess his feelings for her.

And just like that, she effortlessly captured the heart of this pillar of the nation, making him willingly submit to her.

"..."

Seeing Lin Fei'er's triumphant smile, Feng Haonan chuckled affectionately.

3 Lin Mingli.

Ever since learning that Feng Xiyao had vanished five years ago, Lin Mingli's heart sank.

He understood that he would never see her again in this lifetime...

Another year, another Lantern Festival.

Lin Mingli found himself standing on the very bridge where he first encountered Feng Xiyao. Gazing at the river of lanterns and passing pedestrians, a pang of sorrow washed over him, causing his gaze to droop.

Just as he turned to leave, a young maiden stumbled towards him.

Reacting swiftly, Lin Mingli caught her in his arms.

"Are you alright, Miss?"

Cheng Chuqi lifted her head to look at the gentleman who had come to her aid, her lips curving into a delightful smile.

"Thank you, Sir. This is for you!"

She reached into her possession and offered him a mask.

Staring at the mask in her hand, Lin Mingli was momentarily taken aback.

Cheng Chuqi couldn't help but let a hint of saliva escape her mouth as she gazed upon the strikingly handsome man before her.

"Folks, who understands? Handsome guys truly abounded in ancient times!"

As the man took the mask, she gazed at him with a bright smile.

"I've never seen such artifacts before. I'm thinking of exploring a bit. Would you like to come along?"

Lin Mingli looked at her, dazed for a moment, then a hint of a smile tugged at his lips.

"Sure, why not!"
