As Feng Jiu and Lord Siming were making way to Dijun, she couldn't help her excitement to see the shadow of Dijun at last that she had been smiling nonstop and even with a few hiccups.

"Siming Xingjung," She said as she gave a small pat on her chest. "That was rather fast."

Walking up in the stairs she could felt the slender eyes of the chief as she stares at her.

Walking in brightly and entering the light the door of Taichen Gong have open revealing the mighty god with white hair and his body draped over in royal purple leaning his arms against his chair. His eyes suddenly had shifted to her direction alluring her to him.

However, like she had expected the God had not said one word as he summons the flower pot in his hand coming closer to her he kneels down to her level

However, like she had expected the God had not said one word as he summons the flower pot in his hand coming closer to her he kneels down to her level.

"Was it you that gifted me these?" He asked her.

When she had gained the confidence, she had looked into his eyes and nodded her head.

"Yes, I admit it was me," The beautiful maiden had said. "I hope Dijun likes it."

Standing up, he places the flower pot closer to where he was resting and slightly touches the petals.

"Huh?" She looks at him.

Looking down at her clothes, it seems like she had forgotten the stain that was below her dress from cleaning the pond earlier.

"Is not bad." She said to him. "Except-"

She suddenly pauses her train of thought. Just a small glance of his eyes was enough for her to tell him everything that she had desire and wishes.

"Except what?" He asked her as he looks at her. "Oh."

He said looking at her as he had already read her thoughts clearly as the flowing river.

"Zhi Yue, crown prince's cousin. Don't mind her." Dijun said to her. "She's not important."

Hearing that he could sense the smiles underneath her slender rosy lips that had created the slightly blushes onto her face. Her feature had almost matched the flowers so identically that he couldn't have helped himself.

"Dijun, you are so wise to read my mind." Her voices then praise him.

"You're so easily read I can even tell from your smile." He said to her. "You're-"
