Duan Yunfei was truly shocked by Mu Chuyang's words. All these years, she had always treated Mu Chuyang as a big brother, and had always naively believed that Mu Chuyang had treated her as a brother and sister. Otherwise, how could she have asked Mu Chuyang to save Xiu Heng three years ago?
Back then, when Mu Chuyang had smashed the cup and left, Duan Yunfei had thought that Mu Chuyang had loved him because of her heart, but she hadn't thought that Mu Chuyang would actually like her a long time ago. How sad must Mu Chuyang must have been to hear his feelings for Xiu Heng back then?
The current situation was extremely awkward, and Mu Chuyang did not think that he would actually be able to speak of all of these things that had been hidden in his heart for many years in a moment of desperation. Duan Yunfei didn't know how to break this awkward situation either, nor did she know how to respond to Mu Chuyang's feelings.
Fortunately, Xiao Yang had entered the room at this time. The moment he entered the room, he could feel the low pressure inside, which caused him to feel goose bumps.
Xiao Yang had been by Duan Yunfei's side for many years, and he was a perceptive person. Xiao Yang didn't need to say anything to him to guess that it must be Mu Chuyang who found out that Yuwen Di was going to make a betrothal for him.
This kind of thing was something the onlookers were unaware of. It was like how Xiao Yang did not know what Wu Shan felt towards her, but Duan Yunfei and the others could see it clearly. All these years, Xiao Yang had witnessed Mu Chuyang's feelings for Duan Yunfei, but it was useless for others to say these kinds of things. Xiao Yang could feel that Duan Yunfei was just a sister to his, so no matter how much Xiao Yang knew about Mu Chuyang's feelings for Duan Yunfei, she had never spoken out in front of him, lest Duan Yunfei knew that she unconsciously kept a distance between him and his in the future.
Since Mu Chuyang and Duan Yunfei were both speechless, then this stalemate could only be broken by Xiao Yang. Princess, Young Prince Mu, tea is ready. " Xiao Yang pretended not to know anything as he smiled and served the tea.
If it was in the past, Mu Chuyang would definitely praise Xiao Yang's skills in brewing tea, and would even say to Duan Yunfei in a cheap voice, "The Little Thirteen treats me the best, and knows that I like Pu'er the most, so you specially prepared it for me."
The past is hard to look back on.
"Xiao Yang, you can go down first. This king still has things to say to Thirteenth Princess." How could Mu Chuyang have the mood to drink tea now? He only wanted to tell Duan Yunfei everything; he just wanted to keep Duan Yunfei by his side.
Duan Yunfei knew that Mu Chuyang was intentionally luring Xiao Yang away, but in this situation, Duan Yunfei could not let him go, otherwise, in the remaining time, she and Mu Chuyang could only continue this never-ending silence.
"Xiao Yang is one of us, you don't have to send her away. If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Princess …" This put Xiao Yang in a very difficult position, but Duan Yunfei was Xiao Yang's master after all, and Xiao Yang was also unwilling to see the relationship between Duan Yunfei and Mu Chu Yang reach a difficult point.
"Alright, I'll be frank. Everything I said to you just now was from the bottom of my heart. I said that I am not a simple sister to you, I have never treated you as my sister. Do you understand?" Yunfei, I told you that I like you, did you know that? You know what? I have waited for you for so many years. At that time, your heart was filled with only Xiu Heng. It wasn't easy for Xiu Heng to leave, and it wasn't easy for you to forget about him. I thought you would definitely be able to discover me, who had been by your side the entire time. I can wait until you find out how I feel about you. All these years, I've never told you this because I'm afraid you'll be in trouble when you find out. "But now, I can't wait anymore. If I wait any longer, you will have to marry someone else."
"Chu Yang, don't be like this … "I just didn't expect you to like me …"
"Yun Fei, do you really not know or are you pretending to not know? As smart as you, looking at everything so clear, how can you not understand my feelings for you? If you really don't know, I'm afraid you're the only one who doesn't. I think, even Xiao Yang noticed it. "
Xiao Yang was really innocent. Why did Mu Chuyang have to talk about him at this time, Xiao Yang knew that choosing to stay in the Red Luan Palace at this time would definitely not be a good thing. If he knew earlier, he would have gone to get some snacks.
"Young Prince Mu, this matter cannot be talked about by Xiao Yang."
Duan Yunfei did not want to make things difficult for Xiao Yang, so she quickly followed up, "Chu Yang, I have no intentions to not believe you, it's just that this matter happened too suddenly, and I am unable to accept it."
"Can't accept it? Is my liking for you so hard to accept? " Mu Chuyang's heart was truly hurt, and his expression made Duan Yunfei's heart ache.
"Chu Yang, you know that's not what I meant …"
"Yun Fei, the reason I came here to tell you all this today was not only to express my feelings. I know you don't want to marry, but maybe I can be the best person you know, compared to someone you don't even know. As you know, my mother has been looking for a princess for me, and I have always refused because I have you in my heart. It doesn't matter if you don't like me now. I can accept that even if you don't like me in the future. But, this time, you treat us as helping each other, so you don't have to marry someone you're unfamiliar with, and after you marry me, I will definitely respect your thoughts, so I definitely won't force you. My father and mother are both sensible people, you can rest assured. Besides, you can still hang out with Zuo Chong after we get married, and I hope you'll think about it. "
Mu Chuyang had actually thought of Mu Chuyang's suggestion before, because Xiao Yang clearly knew Mu Chuyang's feelings for him. If Duan Yunfei were to marry Mu Chuyang, Mu Chuyang would definitely be able to guarantee that Duan Yunfei would live a happy life. For Xiao Yang, happiness was the most important thing, but Duan Yunfei had always treated Mu Chuyang as her elder brother, so Xiao Yang did not propose this idea to him.
"But Chu Yang, this is unfair to you. I have no feelings for you, and even if I were to marry you, you wouldn't be happy. If Prince Mu and Princess Hua-Yang were to know about it, it would hurt their hearts. " Hearing Mu Chuyang's words, Duan Yunfei was moved, but she was not willing to use Mu Chuyang, as she was not willing to see Mu Chuyang sacrifice his life's happiness.
"Yunfei, I don't think you're using me by doing this. I've been thinking for a long time and I feel that this is a foolproof plan. You don't have to worry, I'll go and tell Father and Mother about it. I hope you can consider it. I'll head back to the manor first. If you think about it carefully, just send someone to notify me. "
