A Hint of Sweetness

As Li Huaiyu was holding forth on affairs of state at court, someone suddenly reported that the concubine in his manor had eloped with another man.

His eyes held nothing but contempt.

How could that be possible?

Even when the truth was right before him, he still couldn't believe it.

Her husband was a powerful minister whose influence towered over the court, and she... she... Her lover was actually…

"Even if you'd fallen for a guard, I would've thought you had at least a little taste!" Li Huaiyu said.

"How do you want to die?"

She shook her head. In the prime of her youth, with all the best years ahead of her, she really didn't want to die.

Looking at the young woman before him, he was absolutely furious. How could she be so heartless?

Love at first sight is love, and so is a love that grows slowly over time.

Her love was a beautiful, gentle stream, like spring breezes bringing flowers into bloom and fine rain leaving the air sweet and fresh.

After the rain, the sky clears and the morning sun brings flowers to life. Time stretches on, the years are peaceful. Will you marry me?
