When Deng Shentong returned to his yard, he heard the sound of things being moved in the house. He frowned and asked the maid at the door what was going on.

The maid glanced at him and said hesitantly, "Yes, it's Mr. Zhang. He said he wanted to pack up and return to Tianhai City."

He had almost forgotten that Zhang Yi was the person who pursued freedom the most. In his previous life, countless people tried to win him over, but were rejected.

It is rare to be able to follow him until now.

Deng Shentong was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and said, "Okay, I understand, let him go."

This is good too. It’s time for Zhang Yi to return to the world that originally belonged to him.

He looked up toward the sky.

The buildings in Deng Garden are tall and solemn, and every brick and tile reveals a heavy sense of history, which is the heaviness that only large courtyards can have.

The building has high eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, and every detail demonstrates the glory and dignity of the family.

There are still some cold-resistant plants left in the courtyard, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the wind, but they seem to be bound by some heavy atmosphere that even the wind can hardly penetrate.

The towering walls isolate the noise from the outside world, leaving only a gray sky.

If the end of the world had not come, he and Zhang Yi would probably never have any intersection in this life.

This is Deng Shentong’s world. He was born unable to break free from this gorgeous cage, so how could he imprison the free birds in the sky?

He stared at the entrance of his courtyard for a while, then shook his head, turned and walked out.

……

The news of the engagement party quickly spread throughout Blizzard City and became the topic of conversation for several days.

The engagement of Deng Shentong and Zhu Yunque is a big deal in the entire Blizzard City. The cooperation between Zhu Zheng and the Deng family was originally hidden behind the scenes, but now it is almost blatant.

All parties, especially those eyeing the position of commander-in-chief, had some ulterior motives after receiving this news.

Once Deng Shentong and Zhu Yunque get married, the Deng family and the Zhu family will be tied to the same boat, and it will be clear who will be the successor to the commander-in-chief.

Naturally, both families attached great importance to this engagement party. The guards at the door surrounded the Jiangnan Hotel in layer upon layer, making it impossible for anyone to get in or out.

Every guest entering the door must be carefully checked and is not allowed to carry any weapons.

Even the entire God team was dispatched.

However, although they were dressed formally, there was not much joy on their faces. It didn't seem like their captain was getting married, but rather it seemed like it was just a routine matter.

Although the venue was decorated joyously and the banquet was held to the highest standards, no one except Zhu Zheng and Deng Yuanbo really thought it was a happy event.

Everyone knows that this is just a packaged deal.

Zhu Yunque was dressed particularly gorgeously today. She was wearing an exquisite evening dress, the hem of which trailed lightly on the ground, swaying gently with her steps.

Her hair was carefully combed into an elegant bun, with a few strands of hair gently falling beside her cheeks, adding a touch of softness.

Being able to marry the best man in the entire Blizzard City should be a happy thing.

But when she saw Deng Shentong, her heart still ached.

Her future husband stood there quietly, wearing a neat white suit, with his silver hair loose, looking like a gentleman.

But she saw Deng Shentong's white eyes.

Hazy, sad, and indifferent, like a mirror fallen on the ground, or like fog rising from the sea.

He had a gentlemanly smile on his face, but his eyes passed through her and looked into the void somewhere unknown.

He just stood there and she felt like he was about to break.

The smile on Zhu Yunque's face gradually faded, and the excitement in her heart seemed to have been extinguished.

She knew that Deng Shentong didn't love her.

No matter what the newlyweds had in mind, the engagement party was held on time.

Melodious and cheerful music sounded, and under the gaze of everyone, two newlyweds from different families stood together.

As the host recited the poem in a rhythmic manner, Deng Shentong took out a gorgeous ring and put it on the ring finger of Zhu Yunque's left hand.

Zhu Yunque looked at Deng Shentong. His appearance was impeccable and his temperament was noble and elegant. He was the well-deserved focus of the banquet.

He was like a beautiful, cold statue with a predetermined smile.

I don’t know if it’s because the light is too bright or the diamond on the ring is too sparkling.

Why else would her eyes be so stinging? It almost looked like tears were about to fall.

The cool touch of the ring was transmitted to her hand, as if she were wearing a gorgeous shackle.

But isn't this what she has been asking for?

When the show was about to end, she wanted to talk to Deng Shentong again. In fact, she didn't know what she wanted to say, maybe just to confirm whether Deng Shentong was still alive.

But she noticed at a glance that Deng Shentong's eyes were looking elsewhere.

It was the man in black, she was very familiar with him, his name was Zhang Yi.

Their gazes seemed to have become substance, tightly connected across the noisy and crowded crowd.

They were like two entangled poisonous snakes, biting each other until they were covered in wounds, yet they presented an illusion of being inseparable.

There was no expression on Zhang Yi's face. He stood there with his hands in his pockets, like a silent mountain in the dark night.

Deng Shentong looked at him without saying a word, with a decent yet indifferent smile.

It’s hard to say who has a crueler heart.

Zhu Yunque paused. For the first time, she didn't want to disturb them and turned away silently.

The sadness was so strong that it made her heart ache.

There's something else she doesn't understand.

But why should she mourn for the fate of others? Since she was also born into a powerful family, does she have a choice?

Zhang Yi's gaze moved around Deng Shentong's body and finally stopped on that pretty face.

He suddenly smiled as brightly as he did in the past, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Then Zhang Yi whispered something, turned around and left.

It was too far away for Deng Shentong to hear clearly. He tried hard to identify his lip movements for a while before he recognized what he said.

"Captain, I wish you happiness."

Deng Shentong vaguely felt that something was quietly growing in the darkness, and things seemed to be moving uncontrollably from one extreme to another.

But so what.

Deng Shentong closed his eyes. He was too tired and didn’t want to think about it anymore.
