He had already been squatting in front of his prince's door for three days and three nights. Ever since his prince had come back from the palace that day, he had always been in his room, never coming out again. The only thing that could be determined was that his prince was alive, and there was the constant sound of something shattering coming from inside.

However, even that sound was gone, and Housekeeper Zhou guessed that by now, everything in the room should have been lost.

Before, he still had a sliver of luck, but now, he was completely sure that his prince was …

Within the room.

Bei Chen Han was like an anxious beast, pacing back and forth, and the ground was already a mess.

He didn't understand why his Nono hadn't returned yet. His Nono was very obedient and supported him in everything. Whatever he said, Nono would do it obediently. Why wasn't his Nono back yet? Why wasn't she back yet?

Bei Chenghan felt like something was knocking against his head. It was moving back and forth, fiercely and irregularly. It kept bumping into him recklessly, causing his head to ache. He could not think of anything.

He didn't understand what was going on. He was just thinking about how his' no 'had not come back.

He knew that others had taken his eros, his eros, his eros, that no one else could touch, but now that they had been taken away, he knew that it must be those people, those people, who were looking at him with mockery and cold eyes. He couldn't see what those people looked like, but he knew that they were definitely the same people.

He could not, absolutely could not let his daughter be taken away by others. It belonged to him alone, and was his only possession. Thus, he absolutely could not let anyone else take it away from him.

Absolutely not.

Bei Chen Han's eyes turned bloodshot, and the crazy thoughts in his mind started to grow even more unbridled, as though they were going to burst out of his brain like this.

The head guard reported from outside, "Second Prince."

When Bei Chenghan heard this voice, he immediately opened the door and said, "Found it." His eyes were abnormally warm.

The captain shook his head. "Not yet, two —"

Before the head guard could say another word, Bei Chen Han had already grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up, his eyes instantly turning blood-red: "We haven't found him yet, it's been so long we can't find him." Looking at the captain of the guards, his gaze was filled with terror and coldness. "You deserve to die, all of you deserve to die." As he said that, he exerted force in his hand and the sound of bones breaking was heard. The head guard immediately stopped breathing and looked at Bei Chen Han in disbelief.

Housekeeper Zhou saw this scene clearly. From the beginning to the end, he didn't miss a single detail. At this moment, he had absolutely no idea how to describe his mood. It could be said that it was ice-cold, not because he wanted to kill someone for his family's prince, but — this loss of composure was more serious than he had imagined, more serious than it had been in the past.

Bei Chen Han threw the guard captain onto the ground and looked at Housekeeper Zhou, who felt as if his entire body was soaked in ice. "If you can't find Nono, then all of you will die." After saying that, he went back into the house.

The door was just closed, without leaving a single crack. Just like Beichen's heart, it was tightly shut, so tight, so tight that only darkness remained.

A long voice came from the courtyard. Looking over, one could see Duke Bei Chen standing there with his brush in his hand, staring at Su Nuo.

Sue avoided his eyes.

Duke Bei Chen moved his body closer to Su Nuo: "Xiao Nuo, just let me paint."

Su Nuo immediately retreated backward. She truly felt that it was impossible for a lowly slave girl like her to be painted on paper like this. In her heart, anyone that was painted on paper was a devastatingly beautiful beauty, and someone like her was truly unsuitable.

But — Su Nuo looked at the person in front of her who refused to let go the whole morning. She was a little forced to the point of helplessness.

This person was the same as before. At that time, she and this person were both 13 years old, this person met a master that taught him how to draw, and then this person rushed over in a hurry to draw her. She didn't agree at that time, but this person just kept pestering her and didn't give up.

"Little Nono." Lord Beichen had come over, looking at her with his peach blossom eyes that were filled with light.

Su Nuo finally sighed. "I know, Third Marquis."

Duke Bei Chen laughed out loud, hugged Su Nuo and said, "Little Nuo, you are so nice."

Su Nuo smiled. Actually, no matter if it was before or now, this person had always been someone who was easily satisfied. As long as she treated him a little better, she would be so happy that she would never know where she was.

Su Nuo's smile became wider, but there was a hint of bitterness in the middle of it. Actually, how could she not be like this? As long as her master treated her slightly better, she would lose all sense of direction and become more and more greedy.

But — Su Nuo's smile slowly froze. If she were to leave these past few days, would the master look for her?

Will it?

It should be! With her master's temper, even if he didn't want her, he still had to bring her back and punish her for being disobedient. What's more, she was following this person like this right now.

If her master knew, he would definitely kill her this time!

Su Nuo thought, then laughed again. It was light, like the clouds in the sky, light and without any trace.

If that was the case, then Su Nuo looked at the map that showed her, Duke Bei Chen. If that was the case, maybe it would be better for him.

In this way, it would be a relief to her as well as to this person!

As for her master, when Su Nuo thought of Bei Chen Han, her heart began to throb in pain, but her smile became more and more pronounced. After she finished venting her anger, she should have quickly forgotten about him!

However, perhaps to her, even if she died, she wouldn't be able to forget her master. She also didn't know if she would be able to forget the bowl of Grandma Meng's Elixir on the Bridge of Helplessness.

However, if it was possible, she still didn't want to drink it. Even if it was painful and despairing, she still wanted to remember her master like this!

I still want to remember.

Su Nuo raised her head, but just in time to meet Duke Bei Chen's eyes. Su Nuo returned his gaze with a smile, faint and gentle.

It could only be said that such a peaceful autumn afternoon was beautiful, quiet, and would never happen again.

Indeed, she did not dare say how far he would go in the future, and how out of place from her current thoughts. However, whenever she thought of the Duke of Bei Chen and this peaceful and beautiful afternoon, tears would always fall uncontrollably.

That was because it was a loss that he would never be able to return to.

However, from beginning to end, she had been unable to do anything!

By the time Duke Bei Chen finished his painting, the sky was already dark. Su Nuo could only make some simple food, and the two of them ate as they pleased.

Su Nuo looked at the painting Duke Bei Chen had given her, and felt that the person in the painting was unrelated to her. Although the person in the painting was not a devastatingly beautiful woman like her, she had a feeling, and Su Nuo could not tell what that feeling was, but that feeling was very profound, as if a knife was carved into her heart.

However, when she finally understood the feeling from the person in the painting years later, everything had already changed and she was no longer her.

Su Nuo returned the painting to Duke Bei Chen, "Third Prince, you're not drawing me, are you?"

The Duke of Beichen hurriedly replied, "Of course it's Little Nuo. Other than Little Nuo, I won't draw anything."

Su Nuo smiled. She suddenly thought of something and asked, "Third Prince, do you still remember the first time you painted for Nore?"

"Of course I do." Then, he looked at Su Nuo with a somewhat aggrieved expression, like a child who had just been wronged, "At that time, I was busy with it, so I drew it for Xiao Nuo."

Su Nuo laughed. It was exactly as she had expected.

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the courtyard. He took a glance inside, then took another glance at Su Nuo before quickly leaving.

After the man in black left, Duke Bei Zhen's gaze fell upon the place where the man in black had just stood. A light flashed in his eyes, but Su Nuo was looking away and did not see it.

A blue firework streaked across the night sky, blooming with brilliant light before disappearing in an instant.

Second Marquis Mansion.

Steward Zhou saw the blue signal and his whole body seemed to come alive. He jumped up from his squatting position and rushed to the door, saying, "I found the prince. I found him."

The door opened and Beichen emerged, "Prepare the horse."

Su Nuo stood up and prepared to go back to sleep, but Duke Bei Chen held her hand. Su Nuo turned around and asked, "Third Marquis, what's wrong?"

Vaguely, Su Nuo felt that this was all about to come to an end. It was about to end. She was about to separate from this person.

But this time, Su Nuo could feel that the separation was long and sad.

Lord Bei Chen's grip on Su Nuo's hand was so tight. This kind of action made Su Nuo uncomfortable, but she did not know what to say, because there were a lot of things that could not be said.

"Little Nono." His voice was not the slightest bit frivolous, it was a deep unease and reluctance.

Su Nuo replied and could only grip his hand even more forcefully.

What was she supposed to do with such a person? However, what could she do? Other than constantly indulging herself and doing whatever she wanted to do for a limited amount of time, what else could she do?

Her heart, her love, was no longer with her, it was given to her master, she could not take it back!

If she could, she would immediately take it back and return it to him. Really, she would really do that.

But — No!

"Little Nuo, come with me. No matter where we go, I'll always accompany you." The Duke of Beichen stared straight at Su Nuo, his soulful gaze seeming to pierce into the depths of her soul.

Su Nuo didn't say a word.

That being the case, this person had still blurted it out in the end. This person must also have reached his limit. He must have been in so much pain that he finally told her this naked.

Lord Beichen stood up, and hugged Su Nuo tightly, "Little Nuo, come with me. You know, I will treat you well. Very good, you know."
