Chapter 232: Blissful Night with Hong Meilin

As Wang Jian's faction continued their journey, their pace remained steady. After covering a considerable distance, they halted for a break, recognizing that traveling through the night would impede the rest their members required.

Throughout the entire ride, Wang Jian shared the same horse with Hong Meilin, engaging her in conversation and successfully coaxing her to open up. She confided in him about her apprehensions regarding facing the Pope and her fear of being blamed by the church's followers upon their return to the cathedral.

Wang Jian slowly reassured her, assuring her that everything would be fine. He emphasized that she didn't need the church's validation, as he would always stand by her side.

"In a way, it's fortunate that no one can reveal the truth about our relationship," Wang Jian remarked playfully.
