Chapter 992: A Reward in Advance
"Call me Big Sister Mei! You're getting bolder these days, not even calling me that anymore," Mei Gongzi said with mock annoyance.
"Alright, dearest Big Sister Mei. Can you promise me one thing?" Tang San said with a grin.
"Let me hear it first," Mei Gongzi eyed him warily, sensing something suspicious in his smile.
Tang San said, "For our happiness and future, during the upcoming matchmaking tournament, if we happen to face each other, I might have to offend you a little. After the tournament ends and you find out who I really was, you must forgive me and not be mad, okay?"
Mei Gongzi gave him a skeptical look. "Why do you sound so guilty?"
Tang San forced a bitter smile. "To avoid revealing my identity in front of the Emperors, I have to act in ways I normally wouldn't. Dearest Big Sister Mei, you must be understanding. This is all for our future. Once we pass this trial, we'll truly be free—like fish in the vast sea or birds soaring through the skies. Once we both become Emperors, none of the other Emperors will be able to restrict us anymore."
Mei Gongzi nodded lightly. "We'll see when the time comes. If you really manage to win the matchmaking tournament and marry me without arousing any suspicion, I won't blame you for whatever identity you used to do it."
Tang San was overjoyed and immediately pulled her into a hug, planting a firm kiss on her lips. "Big Sister Mei, you are the best~"
"Hey, what are you doing now? You haven't won yet. You're not the victor of the tournament yet."
"I'm just grabbing a little reward in advance," Tang San laughed.
