Xiao Qingqian froze her in an instant. "Qing`er …"
"What's the problem?"
Xiao Qingqian frowned, "In your heart, this duke... "Forget it."
had already warned him just now, and now, Wei Qing was afraid that he would not choose him, nor would she choose Chu Yin. If he asked again, it would be laughable.
"Then, repeat what I just said."
All of Xiao Qingqian's attention was on Wei Qing's face, how could she remember those things that she should notice?
Wei Qing panted heavily, "I will repeat myself one last time, you better listen carefully."
Xiao Qingqian nodded.
Wei Qing repeated and looked at him. He pursed her lips, her patience nearly exhausted. Only then did she ask, "If this duke really can't remember, will you remind this king again?"
She was stunned for a moment. Then, she smiled and said, "If I really can't remember, then I will write it down."
These words were filled with estrangement, especially the smile that was extremely dazzling!
Xiao Qingqian had already tossed the words Chen Cheng had warned him to the back of his mind. He grabbed her wrist firmly and pulled her into his embrace.
She was stunned for a moment, but there was no hint of panic in her eyes, nor was there any shyness.
At this moment, she was still Wei Qing, but her temperament was completely different.
"Qing`er …" He called out her name and slowly approached her.
Just as she was about to stick to her soft lips, Wei Qing raised a hand to block her.
His lips were like fire as they tightly branded onto her palm, causing her to uncontrollably tremble for a moment. However, she quickly calmed down and attacked again.
Xiao Qingqian felt as if a dull knife was ruthlessly stabbing into his chest, turning it around with force. That pain almost made his face turn white.
"Qing`er …"
He wanted to tell her that if he didn't have her by his side, what could he do about it?
In the end, he was lonely. At this moment, his heart was not only filled with pain, but also with coldness.
He really wanted her to be able to cuddle into his embrace and sleep peacefully like she used to. Thus, his heart was not ice-cold!
However, everything had changed.
"Words are useless!" I'll go back first. " Wei Qing smiled at him indifferently, then walked away.
Xiao Qingqian raised his hand, and really wanted to grab onto her wrist. However, he was still a step too late, he only had enough time to grab onto the corner of her sleeve.
Wei Qing left quickly, but Xiao Qingqian was still unable to catch up.
It was as if his legs had taken root on the ground. He simply could not move a single step.
"Qing`er …"
Xiao Qingqian muttered in pain, feeling as though his heart was broken into pieces.
"Eldest Miss, are you alright?" Mo Qi asked in concern.
Mo Qi nodded.
When Chu Yin saw Wei Qing's letter, the corners of his eyes raised up a smile that he could not conceal.
Qing`er still had him in her heart!
Chu Yin smiled with his hands behind his back, quietly standing in front of the window and looking at the bright silver moon.
As long as they could confirm that Wei Qing had him in her heart, then all that he had done was worth it.
The next day, Wei Qing was dressed in men's clothes, and let Mo Qi bring him to a teahouse near the inn.
Just as she went out, Xiao Qingqian received a message from the hidden guards.
The space between his eyebrows was almost twisted into a lump. After repeated deliberation, he still decided to investigate.
When Chu Yin appeared in the private room of the teahouse and saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, a huge astringent feeling filled his throat.
"Qing`er!"
Wei Qing looked at him indifferently, "Since you're here, then quickly sit down."
Such a distant and indifferent expression caused Chu Yin to be startled for a moment.
What happened in the few days she was gone?
Why did it feel like she had seen through the world of mortals?
"I received your letter last night and was extremely excited." As she was pouring tea for him, Chu Yin held her hand and looked at her with tender eyes.
Wei Qing's heart fiercely skipped a beat, and her gaze also faintly flickered for a moment.
"Qing`er, why did you invite me here today?"
Wei Qing slowly pulled her hand away, "The reason why I came here today, was to sincerely wish you and Princess He Yue the best of luck, wishing you and your beloved for the rest of your lives!"
Boom — —
It was as if a bolt of lightning exploded in Chu Yin's mind as his eyes stared wide open at Wei Qing. After a long while, his lips started to violently open as he asked: "What, what did you say?"
"I wish you and Princess He Yue the best of fortune and happiness!"
Every extra word she spoke caused Chu Yin's heart to sink even more. And outside the door, Xiao Qingqian's expression was also becoming more and more serious.
It was as Chen Cheng had said, neither he nor Wei Qing had made a choice.
She always had an idea, but what exactly did she plan to do?
Could it be …
He planned to live in the Prince Chu’s Mansion, but stay in the same boat with him?
For a moment, many questions floated up in Xiao Qingqian's mind, but no matter which one, they were all unsolvable!
Wei Qing's eyes were bright and clear, but why couldn't he see through her?
In the private room, Chu Yin finally found his voice.
"Little girl, I've said it before. Although I promised to give you a marriage, I wouldn't really …"
Chu Yin wanted to say something, but Wei Qing had already guessed it.
She smiled at him, "A Yin, I need to ask you a question, tell me!"
Chu Yin nodded.
"What does a man's heart hold?"
Chu Yin remained silent and thought about it seriously, "Vanity, power, and a person he loves."
He thought that his answer would move Wei Qing, but contrary to his expectations, when Wei Qing heard it, she merely let out a light cry.
With the same question, Xiao Qingqian, who was outside the door, also gave a similar answer.
However, Wei Qing's undisguised sneer made him extremely shocked.
Could it be that men all carry these in their hearts?
Wei Qing chuckled lowly, "Since Your Highness is here, then come in and take a seat!"
Xiao Qingqian did not expect that the first person to know that he was here was Wei Qing!
He took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the private room.
When he saw Chu Yin's pair of questioning eyes, the temperature around him plummeted. However, because of Wei Qing, he did not want to make a big fuss out of this, so he made her hate him even more.
He lifted the corner of his robe and sat down, staring deeply at Chu Yin who was sitting opposite to him.
"This king and his wife had originally planned to meet Prince Qi together, but this king had come late, so Prince Qi should not think too deeply about it."
Chu Yin was simply not in the mood for Xiao Qingqian's words. Instead, he was staring at Wei Qing with sparkling eyes.
In the end, why did she still say such hurtful words when she clearly had herself in her heart?
He only wanted to be together with her forever!
