Chapter 2529: Chapter 2529: Swinging Under the Peach Tree

Peach blossoms bloom in March, but now March has passed.

However, the Peach Blossom Forest is still full of pink peach blossoms.

Jian Yufei widened her eyes in surprise—

Isn’t that vast pink flower forest just an illusion?

She only knew that her father had the ability to make lavender bloom all year round. Could Nangong Xu have the same ability?

"Ruyue, these are the peach blossoms you love. Unfortunately, it’s not the season for peach blossoms, so I had someone make fake ones. Do you think they look alright?"

So they were fake...

Jian Yufei moved closer to inspect, and sure enough, they were fake.

But putting so many fake flowers on the trees to mimic real ones is quite a feat.

Jian Yufei looked at Nangong Xu ahead...

To be honest, he truly loved her mother.

Yet, his love was destined to be unrequited.

She had heard that her mother also liked him when she was young, but just as love was budding, he snuffed it out himself.

He shouldn’t have killed her mother’s only brother; with family dying tragically at his hands, how could her mother accept him?

Perhaps at that time, Nangong Xu was too ambitious, and what mattered most to him was capturing the Nangong Family.

This resulted in an irreversible mistake, and eventually, he completely lost her mother.

Jian Yufei really wanted to ask him whether he regretted killing Nangong Shengjie, who was her uncle, after all these years.

Perhaps he doesn’t regret at all.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have later kidnapped Ansel and Junqi and targeted them.

After that, he wouldn’t have been single-mindedly trying to kill her.

Anyway, no matter how deep his affection is now, it is doomed to be in vain.

...

Jian Yufei was deep in thought when she saw Nangong Xu pointing to a swing not far away.

"Ruyue, that’s the swing I made for you. I know you love swinging, and you’ll definitely love swinging in this Peach Blossom Forest."

He continued speaking to the Ashes Box, which, of course, couldn’t respond to him.

Nangong Xu suddenly turned around and looked indifferently at Jian Yufei: "You, go."

"What?!" Jian Yufei didn’t understand.

Nangong Xu pointed at the swing, indicating for her to go swing.

Jian Yufei coldly refused, "I’m not interested in swinging!"

Nangong Xu’s face turned suddenly sinister, "When I tell you to go, you go! Do you dare disobey my order?"

Jian Yufei gritted her teeth, wanting to retort, but eventually didn’t.

Forget it, no matter how stubborn she was, Nangong Xu had ways to deal with her.

Although he loved her mother, he was cruel to her.

She had no need to provoke him and end up in a miserable situation.

Jian Yufei suppressed her disgust and walked to a peach tree.

This was the largest peach tree in the Peach Blossom Forest, and the swing hung from its sturdy branches.

This was a white swing, with many peach blossoms entwined on the ropes on both sides.

Jian Yufei happened to be wearing a pink dress today, which complemented the Peach Blossom Forest well.

Most of the clothes in her wardrobe were white.

To avoid pleasing Nangong Xu, she deliberately chose other colors, avoiding white.

Unexpectedly, she wore just the right color by chance...

Jian Yufei felt extremely frustrated. She sat on the swing without moving it.

Nangong Xu said lightly to her: "I’ve always wanted to see Ruyue swinging here. Today, you can fulfill your mother’s wish."

"..."

Damn, it’s fulfilling his wish!

"Ruyue also loved swinging under the peach trees," Nangong Xu explained again.

"..." Jian Yufei looked away, her expression wooden and stiff.
