Chapter 346

Helanzhi’s marriage was thus decided by her own hand. Xie Mingyue felt worried, but she had her own hands full. Her birthday was approaching, yet Qi Jinshan had become increasingly busy, sometimes even going several days without returning to the estate to rest. She had taken a food box to visit him a few times, but often could not even catch a glimpse of him. When she asked Jinhe and Yujiang, they only said the political situation was complicated and he had too much on his plate. When Qi Jinshan finally returned to the estate, deep, dark shadows had appeared beneath his handsome eyes, which he could not conceal. Pained by the sight, Xie Mingyue prepared calming incense for him; before she could even light it, Qi Jinshan had already collapsed onto the bed and fallen into a deep sleep. Standing by, she could only sigh, feeling a mix of pity and helplessness.
