Pursuit, Back Then You Chased Me First

Not long after Prince Nolan and Serena Feng left the border city, Prince Rui also packed up and took Little Dumpling to Mystic Healer Valley.

Whether or not he could be cured, they had to give it a try. If they didn’t, Prince Rui would regret it for the rest of his life. Besides, Serena’s reasoning made sense—better to face pain sooner than later. The longer they waited, the greater the hope, and the greater the disappointment.

However, Prince Rui still didn’t tell Little Dumpling that this trip was for his hands—Little Dumpling just thought they were going out to have fun.

After Prince Rui left, the house in the border city was left with only Prince Titus of Lyndaria. Titus quickly grew bored and thought about packing up to travel to the frontier or the northern deserts. But...

Before he could set out, another special guest arrived at his home. Special, because this guest, once here, refused to leave.

“Husband, ten years ago I refused to leave with you. Now... I’ve come to pursue you. Is that alright?” Vivian Cui, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Cui clan, once Titus’s Crown Princess, arrived at the border with nothing but her bundles...

She brought nothing but two servants.

“Nonsense. Go back.” Titus admitted he was shocked to see his former wife, but after the shock faded, he just felt troubled.

Ten years had passed. He was used to being alone. He had nearly forgotten this woman.

Vivian Cui smiled gently. “Husband, since I’ve come, I won’t leave. The moment you left, I regretted it. Ten years... I’ve regretted it for a whole decade. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life in regret.”

By the end, Vivian Cui’s voice was tinged with tears, but she didn’t actually cry. Instead, she smiled bravely. “Husband, I won’t leave.”

Titus felt a headache coming on. He was just about to go out, so he simply said, “If you won’t leave, then I will...”

What was this woman trying to do? First, she had asked Prince Nolan to send a message for her, and when he refused, she came straight to his door.

Bang... Titus slammed the door and left, almost as if fleeing. Vivian Cui hurried after him, shouting, “Husband, you haven’t remarried, and I haven’t remarried. So I have the right to pursue you. I heard... that back then, Her Majesty the Empress was the one who pursued His Majesty the Emperor. Today, I’ll follow her example and pursue you—is that alright?”

“Stop this nonsense and go back. This isn’t a place you should be.” Titus’s voice came from far away...

Though he refused, Vivian Cui was still delighted. “Husband, I won’t leave. Wherever you go in this life, I’ll follow.”

Vivian Cui chased after Titus all the way, completely ignoring his rejections. No matter how cold or harsh his words, she simply wouldn’t leave...

Even if her feet blistered and bled, she didn’t stop...

Ten years ago, I let you go. I regret it.

Heaven has been kind, giving me another chance to make it right. Now...

I will never let go, unless I die!

News of Prince Xiling Tianyu and Vivian Cui reached Prince Nolan and Serena Feng quickly. Serena found the whole affair amusing, but Prince Nolan was far less optimistic: "They're just asking for trouble."

"Not everyone knows what they really want. For Vivian Cui to swallow her pride and chase after him—well, that's rare enough." Serena actually admired Vivian for it.

For a woman to go that far—it truly is something extraordinary...

"She's got nothing on you." Thankfully, Serena wasn't like Vivian Cui. Otherwise, Prince Nolan would have a splitting headache.

Still, even if Serena acted like Vivian Cui, he wouldn't be bothered. He wasn't Tianyu; he would never give Serena a chance to say no.

His woman could only stay by his side—whether he was powerful or fallen, she belonged nowhere else.

"We're nothing alike—how can you compare us?" Serena laughed.

"True, different indeed." Prince Nolan commented seriously, "Back when you were pursuing me, you were way too reserved. I had no idea you were even chasing me."

"What nonsense! I never chased you. You were the one chasing me!" Serena's cheeks flushed red...

As a woman, she felt like a total failure.

A truly successful woman—no matter how much she likes a man—should have the skill to make him pursue her first. But she just didn't have it. Back then...

Fine, even if she wouldn't admit it out loud, Serena had to concede in her heart—it really was her who pursued Prince Nolan.

"Oh yeah? Then who was it that got so happy after I held her hand once, she didn't wash it for three days?" Prince Nolan teased mercilessly.

"Who was it in the carriage, staring at me like a lovesick puppy?"

"Who rushed into the woods the moment she heard I was in danger, not thinking twice?"

"Who else..."

"Enough, enough, that's enough!" Serena quickly clamped a hand over Prince Nolan's mouth. "Fine, fine, I was the one who chased you first. Happy now?"

"Not enough..." Prince Nolan pulled Serena into his arms, pinning her hands. "You were way too reserved back then. I demand you pursue me again—this time, with feeling."

"You... keep dreaming." Serena shot Prince Nolan a glare.
