Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage-Chapter 1330 - 1329: Just Tell Me That I’m the Only One in Your Heart

Upon hearing the news that Fen Ling was feeling unwell, a trace of worry appeared in Feng Yexuan’s eyes.

This signal stabbed deep into Chu Qianli’s heart, like a dagger cruelly twisting within.

The Poisonous Insect Poison had merely altered his memories, making him forget her completely.

But it couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t develop feelings for Fen Ling.

His concern for Fen Ling now, feared to be genuine.

He’s fallen for Fen Ling, hasn’t he?

Chu Qianli lowered her head and stared at her fingertips. Her fingers stiffened, just like her heart, cold and rigid to the point even she despised it.

But she couldn’t allow her heart to soften.

She alone knew that if she let herself waver, she would live a life worse than death.

The agony of unrequited love—those who haven’t experienced it will never understand.

She would rather believe that she didn’t love Feng Yexuan.

She could only tell herself that she no longer loved him, had long stopped loving him.

If she didn’t love him anymore, she wouldn’t be hurt, wouldn’t despair, wouldn’t let herself be consumed by agonizing pain.

Surely, she had stopped loving him a long time ago!

...

Fen Ling wasn’t in her own chamber. She had spent the entire day in Feng Yexuan’s room.

The Four Assassins were busy working outside, leaving no one to monitor her.

Feng Yexuan wasn’t there either. He had spent the whole day by Chu Qianli’s side and hadn’t returned to see Fen Ling even once.

The maid tried seeking Feng Yexuan over at Chu Qianli’s place more than once, but apparently, the two had gone out together.

Fen Ling didn’t know where he had gone, only that when she couldn’t find him, her heart felt uneasily distressed.

Just as the maid opened the room door, Feng Yexuan stepped inside.

"You’re back?" Fen Ling, who had been staring out the window in a daze, immediately stood up and turned to look at him.

Two streaks of tears at the corners of her eyes hadn’t yet been wiped away.

Seeing this, Feng Yexuan felt an ache clutch his heart.

"You... why were you crying alone?"

"The man I love spent the whole day with another woman, and I couldn’t even find him."

Fen Ling wiped her tears and gave him a sorrowful smile. "What else can I do but cry? I seem so utterly useless, don’t I?"

Feng Yexuan said nothing. Though tinged with guilt, Fen Ling’s accusatory words made him feel slightly irritable.

He and Chu Qianli had been honorable and aboveboard, busy tending to their responsibilities, healing the afflicted.

Neither he nor Chu Qianli had the time or inclination to entertain frivolous thoughts.

Ironically, that actually afforded him a sense of serenity and ease.

Lives were at stake. What’s more, how many lives were entangled in this epidemic?

When faced with such matters, affairs of the heart seemed trivial in comparison.

Fen Ling had expected him to offer her some explanation, but he said nothing, leaving her awkward and alone in her lamentation, as though performing a solo recital.

She lowered her gaze and wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes once again.

When she raised her head to look at him, her lips curved into a faint smile. "I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have spoken words of complaint. I overstepped. Yexuan, please forgive me."

"I’m not blaming you." When she had grumbled, Feng Yexuan could manage his irritation.

Yet now, faced with her apology, his heart softened instantly.

"There’s nothing inappropriate between her and me. Everything was for the sake of the villagers." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

He walked over and gently helped her sit down in the chair. "I heard you weren’t feeling well—are you uncomfortable somewhere? Should I fetch a doctor for you?"

"No need. The doctors outside are overwhelmed. It’s just an old ailment flaring up, compounded by the internal injury I sustained earlier..."

"I’m sorry." Her internal injury had been inflicted by him. When it came down to it, it was his fault.

Fen Ling seized the moment while he was overcome with guilt and clasped his large hand tightly. "Yexuan, I don’t ask for much. All I want is for you to tell me that your heart still belongs to me. That would be enough."
