A New Life Without Regret

Chapter 5

When he returned secretly to his room. Dongfang Qingyuan found a pile of documents to read. Dongfang Qingyuan read them until morning. In the morning, Qiu Ruiwen took all the documents to hide. In case someone came.

Dongfang Qingyuan went to bed but he had only fallen asleep for a short while. The door was opened roughly. "I want to sleep." Dongfang Qingyuan muttered. But Dongfang Qingyuan's body was lifted and placed on shoulder. "Put me down." Dongfang Qingyuan grumbled angrily.

"You need to go to morning court. You should have woken up a long time ago." Xue Zhengming said then threw Dongfang Qingyuan's body into the carriage along with his clothes. "Put on your clothes." Xue Zhengming said getting into the carriage.

Dongfang Qingyuan staring angrily at Xue Zhengming and put on his clothes obediently. "Royal uncle, you can be more polite to General Dongfang. In rank, he is your royal uncle." Xue Xingrui said, Lord Hua calmly.

"Like I care." Xue Zhengming grumbled. Xue Xingrui shook his head. Dongfang Qingyuan fell asleep again in the carriage. "Uncle, what are you guys talking about that he can't sleep?" Xue Xingrui asked. "Li Tao's affairs and also the bad condition of the Light Army." Xue Zhengming explained.

"It seems that General Dongfang misses his home." Xue Xingrui said smilingly. "Missing home to the point of not sleeping. I don't believe it." Xue Zhengming said coldly. Because of the shaking of the carriage, Dongfang Qingyuan's head almost fell and was held by Xue Zhengming's hand.

Xue Zhengming sat beside Dongfang Qingyuan before placing Dongfang Qingyuan's head on his shoulder. "What's wrong?" Xue Xingrui asked. "Your Highness, there's a woman who fell in front of the carriage." Huang Yi, Xue Xingrui's guard, said.

A scream was heard not long after. "Bitch, do you think your fiancé still wants you? If he wanted you, he should have met you when he returned to the capital." Xu Meihua said angrily.

"He won't leave me. He promised." Ruan Shuye said confidently. "He's been having fun in Autumn Pavilion since he arrived until now. That General Dongfang came back but didn't find you at all. It means he abandoned you to get..." Xu Meihua's words were cut off because a slap hit Xu Meihua's cheek making her fall.

"Bitch, who told you to say nonsense about this General?! Autumn Pavilion? This General has never been to that place!" Dongfang Qingyuan said angrily.

Meanwhile in the carriage, Xue Zhengming and Xue Xingrui were shocked by Dongfang Qingyuan's inhuman speed. Back to the scene. "Ruo Cheng?" Ruan Shuye muttered. Dongfang Qingyuan stared at Ruan Shuye coldly. 'This woman hasn't changed.' thought Dongfang Qingyuan.

"Are you Ruan Shuye?" Dongfang Qingyuan asked coldly. Ruan Shuye looked confused but nodded. Dongfang Qingyuan patted his clothes looking for something. "Tch, I forgot to bring it." Dongfang Qingyuan grumbled in annoyance.

"I'll give it to you but I'll take this jade back." Dongfang Qingyuan said pulling the jade that was tightly held by Ruan Shuye. It was the thing left by Dongfang Ruo Cheng to Ruan Shuye. "Give it back to me." Ruan Shuye stood up angrily.

"This is mine. Why should I give it to you?" Dongfang Qingyuan said flatly. His killing aura was emanating. "Give it back, Ruo Cheng who gave me as a sign of engagement." Ruan Shuye said stubbornly. "Stop scaring the little girl." Xue Zhengming said from the carriage. "It's your fault because of you that I forgot to bring the thing Ruo Cheng left me with!" Dongfang Qingyuan shouted angrily.

"You know Ruo Cheng?" Ruan Shuye asked in surprise. "A colleague." Dongfang Qingyuan said coldly. "If you trust me, then wait for me. I'll bring it to you." Dongfang Qingyuan said coldly.

Xu Meihua brought her guards out. "Do you know who I am?! My husband is Minister Ruan of the Ministry of Work. How dare you hit me." Xu Meihua said angrily. "Attack him." Xu Meihua added.
