"She's only a bed warmer… while I'll soon be his rightful wife," Ye Jian thought, a faint smile forming on her lips.
Her confidence returned.
"Young Master Lin Feng… I…" Ye Jian began, ready to announce that she had stepped down from her position and that they could finally be together.

A figure suddenly appeared beside her, kneeling on one knee.
"Young Miss… the Patriarch has summoned you back to the clan immediately," the woman said respectfully.

"I'll be there in an hour. Let me just s…" Ye Jian started, intending to finish what she had been about to say.
But she was cut off once more.
