Mei Wanying didn't read the letter, nor did she say what to do with it.
Ding Xiang had no choice but to put the letter in a casket, right next to the Jade Pendant that symbolized his identity.
'Perhaps her lady will be willing to read it someday.'
'It was just like the Jade Pendant. At first, her lady hadn't wanted it either. She even wanted to ask Heir Chen for help returning it to him.'
Ding Xiang wasn't married, so she had never experienced romantic love.
She was truly baffled. 'Does romance really hold such power over a person's emotions?'
She couldn't figure it out, so she decided not to dwell on it.
Ding Xiang placed the casket back in its original spot. If her lady wanted to read the letter, she would be able to find it easily.
In the end, Pei Yan was unable to attend Ling's birthday banquet.
He never showed his face. No one knew whether he had returned to the Capital City or was still in the house across the street.
