Chapter 315: Seize Power (70)

t take your life."If he were to die, he'd feel better. He was afraid of the demands the Princess would make, which would be more terrifying than death itself. As the Prince's guard, he really didn't w..."Because of Dugu City"

Feng Lingxi fell silent for a moment before honestly replying, "Huangfu Qingyun, even if there was no Dugu City, you and I might not have been able to be together. Because you are too outstanding."

Huangpu Qingyun's expression stiffened slightly, "Too excellent Is it because of my identity"

"No, you're just too perfect."

The perfect man doesn't belong to her, and she doesn't need that kind of man. Most importantly, her feelings for him can't be upgraded to love; she can only see him as a brother.

“You say I'm perfect, but I don't think so. I have flaws too, I...”

"I can't have romantic feelings for you. Our time together proves that best. Huangpu Qingyun, I know you're good to me, but that's not love. You only give me the love you want to give because we have a marriage contract."

"No, I like you."

"If I hadn't been your fiancée when you saved me, would you have liked me Would you have given up your betrothed for me"

Feng Lingxi asked after finishing, and Huangpu Qingyun was stunned by her words. She didn't answer for a long time.

"It took him a long time to speak. “I don’t know, when I saved you, I just knew you were my fiancee, the person I had to protect.”

"Then how do you know if your feelings for me are romantic or out of duty"

Huangpu Qingyun fell silent, he was indeed confused by her words. If Xi'er wasn't his fiancee, would he have saved her and developed feelings for her

He had set his mind on it since he was young, that this marriage arranged by his mother would be his lifelong commitment. Now that Xi'er said this, he was confused.

"Actually, we'd be more suited to being friends. You can think of me as your little sister."

She would rather call him "big brother" if he was willing.

"And what about Dugu City Do you truly love him"

Huangfu Qingyun voiced his doubts, bringing up Dugu City. Feng Lingxi's eyes softened, her mind filled with all the little moments they had experienced over the past few months. "Yes, I love him. I've made up my mind to spend my life with him."

Unless Dugu City betrays her feelings, then her feelings for Dugu City will be unyielding until death.

Huangpu Qingyun gave a wry smile. "Did I come too late, or was there never any chance for me from the beginning"

He let out a heavy sigh, Huangfu Qingyun's eyes dimmed with melancholy. He truly didn't understand why Xi'er didn't have those same feelings for him.

"Huángfǔ Qīngyún, I know about your bet with Dúlú Chéng. In fact, you can see it too. Even if you bet with him, you wouldn't win. My heart has always belonged to him. In the end, I will still choose him."

She knew her words were cruel, but if this could stop Huangfu Qingyun from falling deeper, she felt that it was better to endure the short pain than the long one.

That's enough.

Huangfu Qingyun took a deep breath, “I understand what you mean. It’s okay if you don’t like me. I hope you won’t interfere with my feelings for you. I choose freedom.”

"Is it really worth it"

Feng Lingxi hastily spoke, but was met with a retort from Huangfu Qingyun, “And you What about your feelings for Dugu City Do you think it was worth the effort”

"Worth it."

Huangfu Qingyun glanced at her, turned around, and Feng Lingxi hurriedly stopped him.

"I want to ask you to promise me one thing."

"Said."

Huangpu Qingyun clenched his fists. He only heard Feng Lingxi say, "I don't want to tell Dugu Cheng about my memory recovery yet. There are some things I haven't dealt with yet, and I don't want him to know I've recovered my memories for now. Can you keep it a secret"

What is it that even he cannot tell

"I want to solve the Yao tribe's issue, I'm the breakthrough."

Huangfu Qingyun replied and left without looking back.

Dugu Cheng walked in with his meal and encountered Huangfu Qingyun, who was going out. He was a little surprised.

"Are you in a hurry to leave"

How could Huangfu Qingyun ever leave Xi'er before

Huangfu Qingyun saw Dugu City's puzzled look and subconsciously clenched his fist. He really couldn't see what was so good about Dugu City, why Xi Er liked him, loved him. He had everything Dugu City had, so why couldn't they have feelings for each other

"What are you staring at me for" Dugu Cheng felt a shiver run down his spine under Huangfu Qingyun's gaze. He sensed a hidden intensity in the other man's eyes, but couldn't figure out why.

"I have something to attend to, Xier. I entrust you with her care. Farewell."

Huangpu Qingyun strode away, Dugucheng called out a few words behind him but he didn't reply. Such a reaction made Dugucheng suspicious, wouldn't it be that Xi'er was unwell

Thinking of this, Dugu City hurriedly went to Xi'er's room. Seeing Xi'er getting up and washing up, he quickly stepped forward.

"Xier, where is Zhang Taiyi"

"I'm fine, Dr. Zhang has just left."

Feng Lingxi looked at the food that Duguo City brought, and hurriedly started eating. She was truly quite hungry.

Dugu Cheng sat beside her, staring at her. His gaze made Feng Lingxi's whole body tremble.

"Look at me! What am I doing Is there something on my face"

As they spoke, he reached out and touched her randomly. Dugu City hurriedly said, “No, it’s just that I feel you are a little different after waking up”

"Where is it different"

Feng Ling Xi subconsciously glanced at her attire. As always, Du Gu Cheng wouldn't notice anything different, would he

"Xier, are you really alright I just saw Huangfu Qingyun leave, he seemed to be in a bad mood."

Feng Ling's chopsticks paused mid-air, looking at Dugu Cheng's curious eyes. The confession of this Huangfu Qingyun had been rejected by her, and the words she had just spoken were so direct. It was understandable that his mood wouldn't be good. However, there was no way she could tell him about these things.

"He might be preoccupied with Yao Feifei's matter."

"Xier."

Dugu Cheng shouted, watching Feng Ling Xi lower her head to eat, always feeling that she was different from usual when speaking. "Has your memory recovered"

Feng Lingxi was so choked by his question that she coughed violently. Dugu Cheng hurriedly patted her back and helped her regulate her breath. Feng Lingxi gasped for air, glaring at him.

"Xier, I just want to ask, what's with such a big reaction"

Feng Lingxi retracted her gaze and continued to eat.

"Next time you drag me off a cliff, I'll tell my mother to discipline you."

“Sorry, I got carried away in the moment and jumped with you. I promise, I won't do it again.”

獨孤城聽出她語氣中的恐懼，很是愧疚，他不該讓她冒險的。

Feng Lingxi, seeing him like this, the fire in her heart subsided a lot.

Later, I'm going out shopping. Don't follow me, I'll just take Xiao Li with me.

Wind Ling Xi angrily accused, "You and Huang Fu Qing Yun both stay away from me, don't think I don't know you two bet on me."

The thought of this made me angry. They were already married, and even if she had amnesia, he shouldn't have gambled with her. What if after she lost her memory, she chose to be with Huang Fu Qingyun Then wouldn't he really just be giving her away to Huang Fu Qingyunburns on you before I can rest assured."Feng Lingxi's cheeks flushed involuntarily. She thought to herself, could it be that Dugu Cheng wanted...It seems they've been apart for too long, the emotions...
