Under Xie Qingrong's encouragement, in the end, Shen Haoxuan mustered up his courage and ordered someone to send a message to Shang Zhiqing, inviting her to dinner time at the restaurant.

Shang Zhiqing held the message tightly, as if she was going to dig a hole in it. She could already recite the contents of the letter from mouth to mouth, but she was still considering the requirements of the message.

Shen Haoxuan sat upright in his seat, the table was filled with delicious delicacies, yet the chopsticks were still placed in place, as if a mouthful had yet to be eaten. His gaze was fixated on the door of the private room, waiting for it to be pushed open.

After a long time, until the food was hot twice, and after it was cold again, Shen Haoxuan finally stood up and looked at the table in front of him that was full of delicacies, but he had no appetite at all.

As he dejectedly opened the door of the private room, he saw the girl that he had been yearning for day and night standing at the entrance.

Shen Haoxuan's dull eyes instantly lit up, and the corner of his mouth held a gentle and expectant smile, "You're finally here."

"Sorry I'm late." Shang Zhiqing said somewhat apologetically.

"As long as you are willing to come, it won't be too late." Shen Haoxuan laughed, "Have you eaten yet? I will call the waiter to prepare the tableware."

Shang Zhiqing pushed away Shen Haoxuan who was holding onto her slender wrist, closed the door, and lightly said: "I'm not hungry. If there's anything you need, go straight to the point. There's no need to beat around the bush. "

Seeing Shang Zhiqing's abnormal cold attitude, Shen Haoxuan's heart thumped loudly. However, there was a smile on his face, and he said with difficulty: "I thought that you came because …."

Before Shen Haoxuan could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shang Zhiqing in a cold tone, "No. I came here to completely cut off your thoughts about me. "

Shen Haoxuan was startled, his hands clenched into fists under his sleeves, and his smile became stiff at the corner of his lips: "What do you mean by that?"

"What do I mean? You should be clear about this in your heart. Why are you lying to yourself?" Shang Zhiqing turned her back to Shen Haoxuan, unwilling to let Shen Haoxuan see the tears in her eyes.

Hearing that, Shen Haoxuan's eyes started to turn red, he blinked his eyes, and wiped away the tears in his eyes, "When did you become the Yue Country's Tutor Manor?"

"Always." Shang Zhiqing suppressed the sobs that came out of her throat and coldly replied.

"Why did you hide it from me?" Shen Haoxuan gazed at Shang Zhiqing's back, his burning gaze staring straight at her, as though he wanted to see through her.

Shang Zhiqing paused, her forehead slightly trembled, and pursed her lips, as though she could not bear to say it out loud. After a long while, she finally replied in a cold and detached voice, "You should know the answer to this question even better than I do."

Shen Haoxuan's nose soured as he closed his eyes.

Indeed, he was very clear in his heart. Who in the martial arts world would tell an outsider his real identity? Not to mention that he was a noble man. If someone knew about his identity, it would bring disaster upon them.

Only, he still harbored some resentment in his heart. Why did Shang Zhiqing actually keep it a secret for so long, if they hadn't come to the Yue Country, he might never know of Shang Zhiqing's identity. Or perhaps, he would never see him again in her entire life.

Really, such a vicious heart.

Shen Haoxuan clenched his teeth, and asked the question that he wanted to know the most, but he did not dare to ask the most out of his mouth: "Do you have any feelings for me?"

Shang Zhiqing closed his eyes and extended her hand, the condensed tears in his eyes could no longer be suppressed and slid down her cheeks and into her palms. She stared at the tear on her palm and said word by word, "No." I've always thought of you as an older brother. "

Shen Haoxuan seemed to not understand what he heard as his body trembled and he opened his mouth. After a long while, he then laughed out loud towards the sky. His shoulders knocked away Shang Zhiqing's shoulder, and without even turning her head back, she left the inn mercilessly.

was left in a daze as he squatted on the ground holding his tears.

Sorry, Shen Haoxuan, I can't tell you the real reason.

I'm sorry Shen Haoxuan, with things like this, he can only sacrifice you so that she can do what she needs to do without any scruples.

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I never dared to ask for your understanding, nor did I dare to ask for your forgiveness.

In the darkness of the night, a few sparse bits of starlight were scattered across the night sky, emitting specks of light.

Unknowingly, the moon had already climbed up to the treetops. The gentle moonlight scattered on the roof, on the ground, and also on Shen Haoxuan who was lying on his back on the roof.

White rays of silver light enveloped him, and his handsome features became even more elegant.

Xuanyuan Chen lightly tapped his toes, imitating Shen Haoxuan's actions, as he laid on his back beside Shen Haoxuan, and asked half-jokingly: "What's wrong? merchant girl abandoned you? "

Shen Haoxuan's gaze was always focused on the stars in the sky, and did not respond to Xuanyuan Chen's question.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Chen was not angry, but only smiled, his eyes were filled with the radiance of the moon, his clear and cold eyes revealed a sense of gentleness.

Xie Qingrong carried three bottles of wine and also went up to the roof, and divided two of the bottles to Xuanyuan Chen and Shen Haoxuan.

Shen Haoxuan took the alcohol in Xie Qingrong's hand, poured it into his mouth and gulped it down.

Xie Qingrong's lips curled up into a playful smile.'s personality was indeed free and easy, free and unrestrained, even if she was temporarily troubled by emotions, she would eventually get rid of them.

"Royal Consort. What are you women thinking? " Shen Haoxuan borrowed the effects of the alcohol to ask.

Xie Qingrong laughed and said: "Who knows."

"I may not be as knowledgeable and talented as you, but at least I am as handsome and as rich as a nation. Why doesn't Shang Zhiqing like me? " Shen Haoxuan asked with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Xie Qingrong lowered her head, took a sip of the wine, thought, and said: Maybe she has some other choice?

"You don't understand." Shen Haoxuan stretched out a finger and shook it, then said: "She told me today that she treated me as his big brother, fuck his big brother, who would want to be her big brother!"

What dogshit brother! When did he see Shang Zhiqing as her younger sister?

As he spoke, he gulped down a few mouthfuls of wine. If the emptiness in his mouth could be filled with wine, then what about the emptiness in his heart? What do I need to fill it with?

Why did this wine become more bitter the more he drank? How dare he, even drink to bully him! Just as he was about to throw away the wine, he raised his hand high and retracted it.

"Princess, do you think that if I hadn't fallen in love with her at first sight and joined hands in retreating, I would have felt better now?"

Shen Haoxuan asked in an intoxicated tone. Within his eyes, there were a few tears that seemed undetectable, shining brightly under the reflection of the moonlight.

"Shen Haoxuan, before this matter is settled, don't ever think about it like that. Maybe she has a lot of things he can't tell you? " Xie Qingrong snatched the alcohol from Shen Haoxuan's hand, unable to take her dejected look.

Shen Haoxuan laughed bitterly: "Princess, you don't have to comfort me. I know everything. I just don't understand why she doesn't want to tell me and share the burden. It's always easier for two people to bear than one. "
