London, England
An Xin Ya sat alone in her room, watching the news being reported on television. She had now become the focus of attention in the UK and even around the world.
If this continued, everyone would mistakenly believe she was Morina's wife, the princess of the British Third Prince.
Surely Brother Shouya must have seen these news reports by now. Why hadn’t he come to England to find her yet? Not even a phone call or a text message?
Had he really made up his mind not to come looking for her? This was a question she asked herself every day and night, leaving her confused and at a loss about what to do.
Feeling disheartened, Xinya thought for a long time and decided to leave England and go to Beijing, China, alone.
Last night, An Xin Ya had already informed Morina of her decision. Morina wanted her to stay, but seeing her determination to leave, he could not force her to stay. Rather than keeping her there to be sad and gloomy every day, it was better to let her go find her own sky.
"Have you made up your mind?" This morning, Morina specially held a banquet and couldn't help but ask her again. No matter what, he felt very reluctant to see her leave England.
"There's no need to persuade me anymore; I have made my decision," An Xin Ya said calmly, looking at Morina with certainty in her eyes.
Morina did not say anything further; this was her decision and choice, and he respected everything she had decided.
An Xin Ya had packed all her belongings and walked out of the luxurious palace. Outside, a Rolls-Royce was waiting for her.
Due to some political matters, Morina could not accompany her to the airport and had to send a driver instead.
"Your Highness, thank you for taking care of Xinya these past few days! Until we meet again!" An Xin Ya smiled as she looked at Morina, gazing at the gentle prince.
"Until we meet again! Please take care!" Morina replied with a smile as well.
They embraced gently, and Xinya left his embrace and got into the car.
Morina stood silently there, watching An Xin Ya give him one last smile as she got into the car and disappeared from his sight.
No matter how hard he tried, she ultimately did not belong to him.
An Xin Ya arrived at the airport with her luggage in tow, walking to the check-in counter to get her boarding pass. Due to a delay in her flight to Beijing, China, she had to wait for another hour before departure, so she temporarily settled in the lounge.
On the other hand, Shouya's flight had already landed at Heathrow International Airport. He carried no luggage, just a lightweight bag, and walked briskly out of the terminal into the airport parking lot, hailing a taxi to London, England.
He never imagined that in that fleeting moment, despite being so close, he would not see her, and she would not see him; they simply passed by each other.
As Shouya rushed towards London in the taxi and arrived at the palace, he found that due to strict security measures, he could not enter without the prince's instructions.
"Let me in! I'm looking for someone—Xinya! Xinya! ... I'm Shouya! Have you not heard me?" Shouya was stopped at the entrance by two guards in military uniforms.
"Who is making all that noise outside?" Morina, who was discussing national affairs with state leaders inside, heard the commotion and vaguely recognized Shouya's voice.
Someone approached him and whispered that a young man was trying to enter to find someone named Xinya.
He actually came; he really did come. Morina had thought he wouldn't show up. A smirk appeared on his lips as he excused himself from the leaders and stepped outside.
Upon seeing Morina emerge, Shouya's dark eyes ignited like two volcanoes. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Morina! Where is Xinya?"
"Xinya has already left!" Morina replied calmly. "She just departed for the airport half an hour ago. If you chase after her now, I don't know if you'll make it in time!"
Shouya did not believe Morina's words because he knew this man was cunning and treacherous; he could not be trusted. He insisted on entering to find Xinya.
"I have no reason to lie to you. Believe it or not, it's up to you!" Morina said coolly. His palace was not open to just anyone, especially since Shouya was one of Solomon's people. No matter what his intentions were, caution was necessary.
"Are you really not lying to me?" Shouya asked skeptically as he looked at Morina. It wasn't that he didn't trust what Morina said; it was just too coincidental that she was heading to the airport right after he arrived in England today.
"Do I need to resort to such tricks as a British Third Prince? I like Xinya, but she does not like me. She insists on leaving, and there’s nothing I can do about it. I cannot force her to stay; I can compete with you openly but will never resort to schemes to win her over," Morina said. "If you don't hurry after her, you might miss your chance."
Shouya hurriedly ran to the road and hailed a taxi, heading to Heathrow International Airport.
Morina quietly stood there watching Shouya leave. He liked An Xin Ya, but he hoped she could find her own happiness, her own sky, which would be good for everyone.
In the taxi, Shouya kept checking the time, urging the driver to go faster. He was afraid he would be late, afraid he would miss his chance to catch up with her.
He cursed himself for holding onto what happened at the banquet regarding Xinya, for not trusting her and losing faith in her. If he had realized sooner, this wouldn't have happened. He hated himself for being so stubborn and foolish.
At several intersections, he encountered red lights and even traffic jams, which only made Shouya more anxious. He looked at his watch again; time was slipping away, making him even more frantic...
He quickly took out his phone to call her, but just as he dialed, the phone died and shut off. Furious, he felt like throwing it out of the window.
When he arrived at the airport, Shouya gasped for breath as he looked around while running, but he couldn't find any trace of Xinya. With so many people around, how could he possibly find her? He rushed to the counter and asked the receptionist.
"Excuse me, can you check if the flight to Beijing, China has already taken off?" Shouya asked urgently.
The receptionist smiled and replied, "Hello, the flight to Beijing, China is about to take off in ten minutes."
He only had ten minutes left. Looking at the crowd moving back and forth in the airport, it was impossible for him to find Xinya in that time. Moreover, by now she must have already gone through security and boarded; he couldn't go in there.
A gentle voice echoed from the announcement room: "Attention passengers traveling to uea, your flight is about to depart..."
Hearing the announcement made Shouya think of a clever plan. Following the signs on the airport wall, he found his way to the announcement room.
"Sir, you can't go in there! What do you want?" As soon as Shouya stepped inside, a staff member blocked his way. At that moment, nothing could stop him from rushing in.
"I need to find someone! Move aside..." Ignoring the staff member's obstruction, Shouya charged inside; every second counted. Ten minutes were incredibly precious to him.
"Please help me find someone." Taking advantage of a brief moment, Shouya pressed down on the airport's intercom and called out for Xinya, saying, "Xinya! Xinya! Can you hear me? This is Shouya. Whether you hear me or not, whether you want to see me or not, I just want to tell you... I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"
"You are angry, you are sad, and my heart aches along with yours! Everything is my fault; I didn't believe in you, and I deserve this. But everything I've done is because I care about you. I love you so much, Xinya...!"
The female announcer stood there in shock, watching the scene unfold. She seemed to have encountered similar situations many times before, often at airports, realizing how painful parting can be.
In a moment of desperation, Shouya had the airport staff display messages on all the large screens: "Xinya, please forgive me," "Xinya, I will love you forever," "Xinya, where are you?"
This sudden turn of events caused everyone in the airport to stop talking; it fell almost silent as everyone perked up their ears to listen. The crowd was captivated by the voice coming from the broadcast. Airport staff and workers had already noticed the announcement and were carefully checking the identification of boarding passengers, eager to see who this girl named An Xin Ya was.
In line for boarding, An Xin Ya heard Shouya's voice on the announcement, filled with apologies and calls for her...
"Brother Shouya, it's Brother Shouya's voice! How did he end up here? No matter how he got here, he came to find her."
An Xin Ya suddenly looked up. Listening closely, it truly was Brother Shouya's voice. Her heart filled with joy and excitement. She left the line and looked around, her eyes widening at the sight of the large screen filled with words of apology directed at her. She was astonished.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she searched for Brother Shouya among the crowd, surrounded by unfamiliar faces but unable to find a single familiar one.
"Xinya..."
Hearing Brother Shouya's voice behind her made her heart skip a beat. She opened her eyes wide, tears brimming as she turned to see him standing there, his familiar face appearing before her. The tears flowed freely as she rushed forward to embrace him tightly, her voice trembling as she cried out: "Brother Shouya, I thought you would never come looking for me again. I thought you would never care about me again. I thought..."
During her time in England, An Xin Ya had been constantly worried about him, missing him and hoping he would come to find her. But each day of longing turned into disappointment, leaving her heart sinking deeper into despair, like falling into an abyss where no light could reach her—painfully hopeless.
Feeling disheartened, she decided to say goodbye to Morina and head to Beijing, China.
