408 Epilogue 2: Ming City and Yuan Kingdom

Ming City

Ming Hui watched Yan working with a dark face. It has been around two years since the incident of the trade happened and he still didn't live in the Yuan Kingdom permanently. Fan Lanying encountered some problems and she hadn't returned yet, which made him reluctant to live in that place.

Seeing how Ming Yan was extremely excited to finish his work, his mood dampened even more. After a lot of persuading by many sides, Yan finally got married to Xiao Meng. Although at first their relationship seemed stiff because of the different culture, it has gradually turned better and now Yan was head over heels over the woman.

Yan noticed Ming Hui's worsened mood and he grinned mischievously, "In the end, you're still the last one."

Ming Hui glared at the other party and took out a needle, "There is one spot where I can make you lost your ability as a man. Do you want to try?"

"…Do you have to be so ruthless to your brother?" Yan sighed. It seemed like Ming Hui's patience has almost run out. Who wouldn't be after being forced to wait for almost three years?

Ming Hui scoffed and put the needle back. He didn't have any intention to hurt Yan for real as he only wanted to meet his wife very badly. The frustration of not being able to meet with his wife has started to become intolerable. If not because Jun Hua was in the middle of her confinement period after giving birth to her second son, he would surely come to ask her or Soujin when he could meet with his wife.

"When will Soujin be willing to leave his wife?"

"I doubt anytime soon," Yan answered unconfidently. Because he had missed the time of Jun Hua's first confinement period, it was unlikely he would want to leave her alone again.

The man's face turned dark. Does it mean he still needed to wait for a long time?

Yan took out a scroll, "Jun Hua tells me to give this to you should you threaten me during the time the two of them are busy."

Grabbing the scroll hurriedly, Ming Hui scanned the message before his eyes gleamed in excitement. He abruptly stood up, "I need to go now, see you later."

Ming Yan shook his head when he saw that, but when he looked at the pile of documents on Ming Hui's table, his face turned dark. Can't that man at least finish his work first?

While Ming Yan was busy struggling to finish his work, Jun Hua and Nanglong Soujin were idling in their residence.

"It has been so long since I have the chance to enjoy myself," Jun Hua rocked the little boy in her arm. She seemed to have a child too quickly as she still wanted to have more time for herself.

Nanglong Soujin chuckled and took out a map in front of her, "I heard there is a good hot spring here. Do you want to go there once your confinement period is over?"

"There are only two more days until it's over, but I don't think it would be a good idea to just suddenly leave," Jun Hua peered towards the map. The location was not far, and they could bring their children too if they wanted or just ask Qin Shie to watch over the kids for a few days.

Nanglong Soujin leaned in and kissed her, "Don't worry. Yan could handle the problem just well. Besides, there are already many talented officials working now."

Jun Hua nodded. The officials they chose were already starting to work even better now and the kingdom started to flourish. After all, the rebels have been put off in many areas. "Then let's arrange the time to travel sometime soon."

"Before that, stop paying so much attention to him and look at me,"

Jun Hua was speechless at this man's sudden conduct, but she smiled in return and snuggled into his embrace. Her eyes looked towards the map as she wondered if there will come the time when she could explore more of the place, this time with Nanglong Soujin.

That future would be really interesting.

…

Yuan Kingdom

Fan Lanying was already bestowed the rank of a general by Jun Hua not long ago using a decree. However, there were still some battles near the previous border that she needed to take care off, so she hadn't had the chance to return to the capital yet.

"General, there's someone waiting for you," Fan Ying greeted his sister with a smile.

Fan Lanying flushed at the mention of her rank. It was always her dream to become a general and now that she reached it, she felt really happy, "You're also a general, brother. Don't call me with that."

Fan Ying laughed, "Go there, he's already waiting for you."

"Who?" Fan Lanying didn't manage to get the answer out of Fan Ying as she followed after her brother lead. She saw a doctor standing with a medical box and luggage being carried by his servants.

The man stopped instructing his servants and looked towards Fan Lanying before walking to the girl's side step by step. Fan Lanying was still stunned in her place, but the corner of her lips curved up to make a pretty smile.

"Ming Hui."

"It has been three years now," Ming Hui smiled and pulled the girl to his embrace. Jun Hua said that it might take two years, but it seemed the time moved back by a year. He had longed to embrace this little wife of his for a long time now.

Fan Lanying evaded her eyes, "The war isn't over yet."

Ming Hui kept Fan Lanying in his embrace as the other soldiers tactfully retreated. Fan Ying also walked away. Since his sister was busy, it would be better for him to not bother with the other party and just do his job or return home to his wife.

The girl stayed in her husband's embrace for a while before raising her head, "Why did you come here? Has the matter in the capital finished?"

"There's no other matter to do in the capital anymore. I'm just staying there to wait for you to finish your conquest," Ming Hui muttered.

Fan Lanying caressed the man's hair. It was indeed her fault for leaving this man for a long time. It was not like she didn't miss him too, but she just didn't want to return before she finished the war. With this, everything should be over, and Yan would have full control of the entire land here.

"So, do you want to stay here for the time being?"

"Not for the time being, I will stay with you here forever," Ming Hui corrected her.

Fan Lanying was stunned then she smiled, right, they were going to stay with each other for their entire lifetime. She lowered her eyes a bit, "Then I will prepare a residence for us."

"There's no need for that," Ming Hui pointed to the palace, "We are going to stay there."

Fan Lanying stared with mouth open, "What?"

"Here," he stuffed a scroll to the girl's hand, "This is the formal announcement that we are going to become the ruler in this place."

She looked towards the scroll in her hand as Ming Hui released her from his embrace. It meant they were going to stay in this place for a long time, together. That would surely be interesting. She can't wait for their time together here.
