Qiao Yisha's face was already in tears. Her throat was dry. She moved her lips and spoke with difficulty, "I... I solemnly swear..."

Nangong Xianyue encouraged her with her eyes to continue speaking, but she couldn't say it no matter what.

"I..." She looked at Nangong Xianyue, and the long-suppressed tears overflowed from her mouth, "—I can't, I can't get married, I can't swear, I'm sorry."

She pulled her hand back.

"You can, Isa."

Qiao Yisha shook her head and broke down crying, "I'm sorry, I can't do it, don't force me..."

Nangong Xianyue couldn't bear to force her to continue talking when he saw her extreme pain, so he hugged her and said distressedly: "Okay, we won't get married. When you want to get married, we can get married again and have a formal wedding. We can invite all your friends. Don't cry, Isa, we're not getting married today." As he spoke, his voice gradually choked up.

The priest frowned, looking at this absurdity.

A shot of anesthetic could not sustain Qiao Yisha's energy for long, and coupled with her drastic emotional fluctuations, she soon began to be unable to stand, so Nangong Xianyue carried her upstairs.

The host of the ball left, and the guests also left one after another.

Zhu Qingsi and Bo Luoxun walked out together, both of them were silent. Today's scene made them feel weird and confused.

Why has Qiao Yisha changed so much? Hasn't she always loved Nangong Xianyue? Why is she unwilling to marry him now? But they still seem to be in love.

He saw that Bo Luoxun was not going to the main exit, and followed him curiously, "Where are you going?"

"This place is closer to my home." Bo Luoxun replied calmly.

"You can't get out here." Zhu Qingsi said, "The exit is over there, and the car that will take you away is also over there." He pointed in the direction of the gate.

Bo Luoxun ignored her, walked to a place with fewer people, jumped, and the wings behind him instantly spread out and flapped, taking him high into the sky.

Zhu Qingsi was stunned. What did he just see? A person? With wings? Flying away?

Bo Luoxun's face looked ugly, because he smelled a strong scent of illness on Qiao Yisha. Her hugs to him and Zhu Qingsi were both farewells to them.

He looked back at the main castle area of ​​Firth which was getting farther and farther away, and reminded himself to remember the route.

Living room on the third floor of the main castle area.

After removing her makeup, Qiao Yisha fell asleep. Nangong Xianyue personally changed her nightgown.

He felt no desire when he saw Joysha's body. All he saw were the distinct ribs, the sunken belly, the blue and purple skin, and the wrists that would almost break with the slightest force. He felt so painful in his heart that he couldn't describe it. He couldn't imagine how much pain Joysha was going through.

He took a deep breath and put pajamas on Joysa. He changed into a bathrobe and lay beside her, hugging her without daring to use any strength for fear of breaking any of her bones.

There was a slight knock on the door. Nangong Xianyue frowned, got out of bed quietly and opened the door. It was Nangong Jinxing.

"How's Issa?"

"Fell asleep."

Nangong Jinxing sighed softly and handed the velvet ring box in his hand to Nangong Xianyue, "Brother, keep it for yourself and find a chance to put it on Isa."

This was the wedding ring that they had originally planned to have the flower girl hand over to them today, but they hadn't had time to get to that stage yet.

Nangong Xianyue took the ring box and opened it. Two rings lay there quietly. The men's one was extremely simple, with only "Isha" engraved on the inner circle.

The other women's version is obviously much more elaborate, with a simple ring setting featuring an 8.22 carat pink diamond, and some small moon and star-shaped diamonds dotted around it. August 8.22 is Joysha's birthday.

"Brother, you designed Isa's wedding ring and wedding dress so beautifully, but you don't care about your own?" Nangong Jinxing asked casually when he saw the huge difference between the two rings.

"There's no time, and it's good this way anyway." He smiled.

When Joysa first mentioned the dance, he had no idea of ​​turning it into a wedding. It was not until Joysa told him that the sooner the better that he realized that Joysa might not have much time left, and he selfishly decided to marry Joysa.

Due to the rush of time and the fear of Qiaosha finding out, the event was not held in a grand manner and the venue still looked like a dance party. Although it was obviously a failure today, he did not regret the decision.

Nangong Jinxing felt sad when she saw his lost look. The atmosphere in Firth was indeed a bit depressing recently.

She walked forward and hugged Nangong Xianyue, "Brother, I will always be with you."

Nangong Xianyue patted her on the back.

"Thank you for treating me like your own sister even after knowing the truth." Nangong Jinxing said with emotion. She later learned about everything that happened in the Nangong family, and also knew that she was not a biological child. She was deeply moved by Nangong Xianyue's care for her like a biological sister over the years.

"In my heart, you are my sister, no need to say these things."

Nangong Jinxing let him go, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, "Spend more time with Yisha, she really loves you, she is the person who loves you the most I have ever met."

Nangong Xianyue nodded: "I know, it's getting late, go and get some rest."

Nangong Jinxing turned around and went back to her living room. As soon as she opened the door, Lan Yu'an smiled at her and said, "The bath water is ready. It's neither too hot nor too cold. Go ahead."

"Thank you." Nangong Jinxing nodded.

-

Half a month later, Xu Zheyi dealt with the elder's funeral and some trivial matters, and resigned from the position of elder's successor to atone for his sins.

He convened a meeting in the Council of Elders, and all the directors of the Council of Elders were present, including Nangong Xianyue and Long Junshen.

Hundreds of directors of the Council of Elders voted on the spot for an old director who was outstanding in ability, neither humble nor arrogant, and had worked in the Council of Elders for many years to become the new elder.

The peace treaty between the Nangong family and the Long family became a tripartite treaty, involving the Nangong family, the Long family, and the Council of Elders. If any party violates the contract, they will be unconditionally expelled from the country.

After the meeting, Nangong Xianyue stood up first and strode out of the meeting room. He looked anxious and walked hurriedly. Hundreds of people in the meeting room looked at his receding back in surprise.

Long Junshen stood up nonchalantly, and his silent phone lit up. It was a message from Ning Wanrou: [When will you be home? ]

He moved his fingers and replied: [Now.]

Then he also hurried out of the meeting room, leaving the directors confused.

Nangong Xianyue sat in a black car, looking down at his watch from time to time, and ordered in a cold voice: "Drive faster."

"Yes." The driver responded.

Qiu Yi, the co-pilot, comforted him, "Master, we won't be out for long. Hua Ting will be with Miss Yisha, so don't worry."

Nangong Xianyue looked at the speeding street scene outside the window in silence. Qiao Yisha had begun to suffer from intermittent blindness. Ever since she fell ill, she was afraid of the dark. He was worried even when going to the bathroom, for fear that Qiao Yisha would fall or get scared. For the first time, he realized what it felt like to put his whole heart and soul on another person. It was sweet and tormenting.
