Empress Running Away with the Ball! Chapter 542

Chapter 542: The one she wanted was not him

A faint, sweet fruit smell entered her nose and she suddenly felt a bit thirsty .  She was thinking, if she took a sip, she wouldn’t be drunk, right?

She was still a bit uneasy as she asked Chu Shao Bai, “Is this wine truly light?”

He revealed a smile, “Are you worried about becoming drunk?  You can be a.s.sured that even if you become drunk, I will safely send you back . ”

“Then let me have a taste . ”

“Alright . ”  He gave the wine bottle to her .

She carefully took a test sip and tasted a light and sweet favour that did not have the wine taste at all .  She took another sip in a relaxed manner, but she did not dare drink, only taking a test sip .

She quickly filled her stomach and leaned against a tree, closing her eyes .

The valley was very silent, even the sound of a petal falling could be heard .

Her heart also became very calm .

This place was like a paradise that contained no worries from the real world .  If only she and Mo Chuan could be like this, idling their days away, how great that would be .

Ai, but Mo Chuan can’t do that .

He was the emperor and he had many national affairs to deal with, how could he have the time .

“Ning’er . ”

With closed eyes, she heard Chu Shao Yang’s soft voice ring in her ears .

“Un?”

“Are you happy being with me today?”

“I am . ”

“Then, do you want to be this happy every day?”  He stared at her while holding his breath .

“I… . . ”  Of course I do .

She almost blurted this out .

She opened her eyes and saw Chu Shao Bai’s eyes filled with hope before shaking her head .

“Xiao Bai, human lives should not just be simply happiness, there needs to be many sorrows and problems .  Of course I wish I could be this happy my entire life, but no, I can’t do it . ”

She had already decided to be with Mo Chuan, so she needed to share in Mo Chuan’s responsibilities and burdens, as well as his problems .

“Why can’t you?  As long as you wish for it, I will be able to do it, I will make you happy .  You like it here, right? You like freedom and being unrestrained, right? I’ve said it before, I will take you away, as long as you’re willing to leave with me .  The sky is high and the sea is wide, I will take you to the most beautiful scenes in the world . Watching the sunrise, watching the sunset, watching the waves of the ocean… . . Ning’er, don’t say you don’t like this .  You can’t lie to me” He tightly held her hands, speaking with an excited voice .

There was no doubt that his description was beautiful with each word exciting her .  She did indeed like this and was what she wanted . She wanted to travel the world and see all the beautiful sights out there .

But, she didn’t want to do it with him .

She looked into his clear eyes and could not bear to say that words that would hurt him .  She only smiled and said, “Xiao Bai, it’s getting late . Let’s go back . ”

The s.h.i.+ne in his eyes dimmed a bit, but he revealed a smile and said, “Alright .  Just wait for me . The peach blossoms are truly beautiful, so I’ll go pick one for you . ”

“Alright . ”

She nodded with a smile .  She saw the rise and fall of his white clothes as he jumped onto a cliff and pulled out a peach blossom off of it .

This Xiao Bai was truly strange .  There were many peach blossom trees around them, but he had to pick one from the cliff .

She looked away with a faint smile as she looked around herself at the flowers in full bloom with a look of reluctance .  The wind blew and the flower scent filled the air .

It would be great if she could come here with Mo Chuan one day .

“Ning’er!”

She heard Chu Shao Bai’s voice calling for her from behind .

She turned around with a smile .

A sparkling dagger stabbed into her chest .

The brightest peach blossom bloomed from her chest .
