The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 287 - 118: Xiang Qin’s Feelings_4

It was only in ancient times.

For a woman not to bear children, it was feared to be a grievous sin.

Yet when a woman did bear children, she not only failed to receive a man’s gratitude but instead had to thank him for his great kindness and favor.

What kind of bandit logic was that.

Ye Qichi said, "Women do not live solely for men."

Xiang Qin looked at Ye Qichi.

"Forget it, you wouldn’t understand." Ye Qichi did not want to explain further.

The dependency of the women of Daxuan Kingdom on men was deeply rooted.

Even Xiang Qin, who had been in the Jianghu for over a decade, still maintained her utterly traditional thinking that could not be changed.

Indeed, Xiang Qin could not understand Ye Qichi’s thoughts now.

But she suddenly felt that perhaps Ye Qichi truly did not live for men.

Not even for the Prince.

Rumor had it that the Princess Consort Chen was fond of Prince Chen.

In reality, she felt that Prince Chen cared more about the Princess Consort Chen.

After pondering for a while, Xiang Qin said, "Actually, besides Prince Chen, Gu Xingchuan is also very good to the Princess."

What she meant was, if Prince Chen did not want her, there was still Gu Xingchuan.

Ye Qichi was speechless.

She looked at Xiang Qin seriously and asked, "What do you think of Gu Xingchuan as a person?"

"A graceful young man, as handsome as a jade tree in the wind, with deep feelings and righteous loyalty," Xiang Qin appraised.

Naturally, her appraisal of Gu Xingchuan was very high.

"And what about the two of you?" Ye Qichi asked directly.

Xiang Qin’s face changed.

She blushed so hard she quickly said with agitation, "Princess, there is absolutely no romantic affection between Gu Xingchuan and me..."

"If there’s none, there’s none. Why such a big reaction?" Ye Qichi was disinterested.

She was interested in matchmaking them.

"Do you like Gu Xingchuan?"

"I am only grateful to Gu Xingchuan," Xiang Qin said plainly, "and he only has sympathy for me."

She deliberately clarified the relationship between the two as completely unambiguous.

Ye Qichi frowned, "Xiang Qin, do you have some other man you like?"

Her manner made her somewhat suspicious.

Xiang Qin’s face turned even redder.

She bit her lip. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

It was difficult to speak, yet she didn’t want to lie to Ye Qichi.

"So you’re saying the reason you don’t like Gu Xingchuan is that you’ve already given your heart to someone else?" Ye Qichi was somewhat curious.

An Assassin who had been trained for more than a decade had someone she liked, which genuinely surprised her.

"Yes." Xiang Qin nodded.

"Who is it?" Ye Qichi asked.

The book didn’t mention much about it.

In the text, the Ten Extremes Sect was later destroyed by Xiao Jinxing, and naturally, Xiang Qin helped Xiao Jinxing to exterminate it. After the destruction of the Ten Extremes Sect, Xiang Qin left alone. Since there was no antidote, the book did not detail Xiang Qin’s final outcome, simply mentioning in passing that Xiang Qin had a long-absent smile after leaving the Ten Extremes Sect.

It seemed that according to the original text, Xiang Qin was likely to have died as well.

Her heart inexplicably felt some discomfort.

When she read the story, she particularly liked Xiang Qin, the cold and elegant Assassin.

Indeed.

Having met her in person, she found herself quite taken with her.

"Song Yanqing." It took a long time for Xiang Qin to muster the courage to say it while blushing.

"The top scorer?"

"What?" Xiang Qin was surprised.

"Nothing." Ye Qichi shook her head.

Song Yanqing had not become the top scorer yet.

"How come you like him?" Ye Qichi asked.

These two seemed entirely unrelated.

"We were betrothed as children. Before I was taken by Broken Cliff, Song Yanqing and I were childhood sweethearts..." Xiang Qin was too embarrassed to continue.

Ye Qichi thought about it, and indeed recalled Xiang Qin’s different demeanor the last time she saw Song Yanqing in the brothel.

But it was clear that Song Yanqing had no memory of Xiang Qin, right?!

And she seemed to remember that, according to the original text, Song Yanqing did marry, and his wife wasn’t Xiang Qin.

"Perhaps he has forgotten." Xiang Qin said with a touch of sadness, "My appearance as a child was very different from now. And in the place of a brothel, the makeup is too ostentatious..."

Ye Qichi nodded.

That was also true.

She said, "In that case, you and Gu Xingchuan really are impossible."

Xiang Qin’s face turned bright red, "I have never had romantic feelings for Young Master Gu, the person he likes is..."

"I know." Ye Qichi cut her off.

It was because she knew that she was so troubled.

Xiang Qin also felt that Ye Qichi, being clever, must have sensed it.

So she said no more.

What Ye Qichi was more annoyed about now was that Gu Xingchuan had no official match in the original story.

If there had been an official match, she would have arranged it long ago.

What she feared most was owing a debt of affection.

"By the way, does the child have a name?" Xiang Qin saw that Ye Qichi seemed a bit troubled and naturally turned the topic toward the baby.

"Not yet named." Ye Qichi seemed to come to her senses.

She no longer wanted to dwell on the matter of the heart.

"Oh."

"Let’s give it a name," said Ye Qichi while thinking of a name.

Pondering, surely one couldn’t just call the baby "treasure".

After thinking a bit, she said, "Anqi."

"Huh?" Xiang Qin was baffled.

What kind of name was that.

"It means angel." Ye Qichi smiled.

It matched her surname perfectly.

"Angel?"

"That is... the meaning of a fairy." Ye Qichi explained.

"Oh." Xiang Qin was still baffled.

This was the first time she heard that a fairy had another name called Anqi.

"Xiao Anqi?" Xiang Qin inquired.

"Of course not." Ye Qichi smiled.

It would just be called Anqi.

At most, it would be "Ye Anqi."
