Chapter 50 You Don’t Love Me at All

Chapter 50 You Don’t Love Me at All

Fu Yunlu's answer was within Liang Guanyue's expectations. The purpose of his words was to retreat in order to advance. If he repeated that he did not do those things, it would make Fu Yunlu suspicious. It would be better to make an attitude: If you don't believe me, then let's go our separate ways.

Liang Guanyue just laughed at herself when she heard Fu Yunlu's words, and whispered, "I want to go back to the dormitory these few days."

"Guan Yue..." Fu Yunlu nervously grasped his hand. "Are you angry?"

"How can I be angry?"

Fu Yunlu wanted to kiss him to test his attitude, but Liang Guanyue turned her head away. His heart tightened, thinking that she was indeed angry. He quickly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, baby. I will never mention anything about the Ji family again."

Liang Guanyue said, "Because I'm closest to you, you'll always suspect me if anything seems amiss." He grumbled, "I think I know why Ji Shun committed suicide. Who knows if you'll ever treat me the same way you did him?"

Fu Yunlu frowned and said, "I've said it before, Ji Shun's death has nothing to do with me, and I will never do anything bad to you."

"But isn't it true that you drove him away? Isn't it also true that you once wanted to kill him?" Liang Guanyue said tiredly, "He liked you and worked diligently for you for so many years, and you just threw him away like that? Brother says he loves me now, but that doesn't stop you from doubting me, right?"

Fu Yunlu said, "It's my fault, but you were the one who hid the fact from me that Ji Shun had contacted you first, so I subconsciously had a preconceived notion. Can't you forgive me a little?"

"Okay, sorry, it's my fault."

"I'm not asking you to apologize!" Fu Yunlu said anxiously, "Liang Guanyue, I believe everything you said. I just want you to stop thinking I'll do anything bad to you. Even if Ji Shun's death really had something to do with you, and it was you who let Ji Wenting go, so what?"

Liang Guanyue was stunned for a moment, and Fu Yunlu continued: "Liang Guanyue, my experience and identity are destined to make me suspicious, but no matter what, the most important thing is that I can trust you, right?"

Liang Guanyue said, "No one can happily accept innocent suspicion, even if you believe my explanation." He pushed Fu Yunlu's hand away and took two steps back. "Besides, I don't always have the patience to explain things to you, brother. So, let's both take a step back. I'll go back to school and live there for the time being. You can rest assured that there's no spy around you."

Fu Yunlu was shocked: "How could you think I thought you were——"

"People's suspicions are not without reason or basis. If there's a first time, there will be a second time." Liang Guanyue laughed, "Isn't royal love cheap?"

"Liang Guanyue!!" Fu Yunlu clenched his fists, the smile on his face gone. He asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

Liang Guanyue glanced at him expressionlessly and walked past him. Fu Yunlu stood there in a daze for two seconds, then chased after him in anger and grabbed Liang Guanyue's arm. Liang Guanyue frowned, looked down at his hand, and mocked, "Your Highness the Fourth Prince, do you have anything else to say to me, a spy?"

Fu Yunlu wanted to use more force, but was afraid of hurting him. She felt a surge of anger, but she had nowhere to vent it. She let out a few breaths of anger, calmed down her emotions, and said, "...Don't talk to me like that, Guan Yue. I can correct my mistakes. I apologize. I'm sorry. I was wrong first. Please forgive me, okay?"

"You don't think you're wrong."

"...What will it take for you to trust me?"

"I should be the one saying this to my brother. Even though I've said I love you so many times and am willing to stay by your side, even if we never have a name, it's still useless, isn't it?"

Fu Yunlu said: "Forgive me, Guan Yue, I can do anything for you."

"Do anything?" Liang Guanyue narrowed her eyes and looked at him for a moment with a half-smile, then leaned over to whisper something in his ear. Fu Yunlu thought she had misheard and her face turned pale. She looked up at him in surprise and said, "Are you serious?"

"This is punishment."

"...No." Fu Yunlu immediately refused, "This is not our home."

Liang Guanyue didn't force it. It was just an obedience test. He didn't think Fu Yunlu would agree to this ridiculous proposal. Besides, the school had a large event that he needed to be responsible for, so he needed to stay in the dormitory to save travel time.

Liang Guanyue nodded and said nothing more, but Fu Yunlu seemed uneasy about his attitude, his breathing quickening. Perhaps he was bothered by Liang Guanyue's comment that "royal love is cheap" - he whispered, "...If you agree, can you trust my feelings for you in the future?"

"?" Liang Guanyue raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Fu Yunlu could hardly continue speaking. He forced himself to say, "...If you don't react, what should I do?"

Liang Guanyue remained silent, just staring at his face inquiringly.

Fu Yunlu looked around with a gloomy expression, then pulled him to the foot of the rockery. The rugged shadow of the mountain enveloped the two of them, and she urged, "...Speak."

Liang Guanyue didn't expect Fu Yunlu to actually agree to his humiliating punishment. He looked at his face for a moment before saying, "Brother, prepare it yourself and show me."

Fu Yunlu pursed his lips and stood there for a moment, as if preparing himself mentally. He leaned against the mountain, licking his fingers. His clothes were still intact. The autumn wind blew through the cave, and Liang Guanyue could clearly see Fu Yunlu shiver, his exposed skin covered in goose bumps from the cold.

He watched as Fu Yunlu's face gradually turned red. He lowered his head to hide his expression, gritting his teeth to prevent a single sound from escaping his mouth. Only his trembling breathing could be heard. Liang Guanyue actually found a bit of fun in this. He supported himself against the wall with one hand, holding the man in his arms, kissed the back of his neck, and whispered, "Brother, are you okay?"

Fu Yunlu closed her eyes and turned around consciously: "...Yeah." After saying that, she urged anxiously, "Hurry up, I'm afraid the fight here will take too long, and someone will come over soon..."

Liang Guanyue touched it and commented: "You are too foolish. It is easy to bleed in a fight."

"...It's okay, it's just a minor injury." He gritted his teeth and tried to touch Liang Guanyue, but found that he still didn't move. Seeing that Liang Guanyue was hesitant, he simply did it himself.

The two men fought from indoors to outdoors, and from the toilet to my penis. The sound of the swords clashing disappeared at the door.

Fu Yunlu felt dizzy and his nails turned white from Liang Guanyue's punch as he clutched the rocks of the rockery tightly. He whimpered in his throat and raised his shoulder blades. He didn't know what he was doing anymore. All he could remember was the look Liang Guanyue had given him just now - cold, as if he was looking at a stranger.

Fu Yunlu said intermittently: "Liang... Guan Yue... don't do that to me again..." He closed his eyes. Perhaps because he was fighting, his body was in so much pain that his eyes felt slightly sore. "That would make me feel..." He spoke so softly that he couldn't even be sure if he had really said it, "You don't love me at all."

Why would a thirty-year-old Alpha, successful in his career and favored by countless omegas, be so obsessed with whether he loved him or not like a child? Their relationship began with Fu Yunlu's coercion, and he actually thought that such a beginning would really bear the fruit of love.

In this regard, Fu Yunlu was as naive as a fool. Liang Guanyue held his waist to prevent him from collapsing too much and falling to the ground.

Liang Guanyue said: "Brother, let me tell you something."

“…”

"I'm responsible for the smooth running of a large-scale school event recently, so I have to live in the dormitory for a while no matter what."

Fu Yunlu was obviously stunned. He even regained some clarity from his trance and turned to look at him in disbelief. Liang Guanyue smiled at him, raised her hand to tuck his fallen hair behind his ear, and said coquettishly, "Oh... don't be angry. I didn't expect you to agree to my request."

Ji Wenting stared at the progress of the file transfer bar motionlessly, cold sweat dripping onto the terminal screen. After confirming that all the files had been sent to Liang Guanyue, she deleted the transfer history with trembling fingers. The door of the basement was completely blown up, as if she was not afraid that Ji Wenting would die here due to the blasting error.

A group of fully armed soldiers rushed in with guns drawn, their muzzles pointed in unison at Ji Wenting. The female Alpha in the lead said sternly, "Miss Ji, please hand over the things Assistant Ji has sorted out."

Ji Wenting took a few steps back with a pale face: "...Fu Yunlu sent you to follow me?"

"Your Highness has been keeping an eye on Miss Ji's movements."

Since they found the trajectory of Ji Wenting's spaceship, they have been tracking it. Fu Yunlu's order was to completely destroy the things from Ji Wenting's hands. They originally planned to catch Ji Wenting after she opened the special access control set up by Ji Shun, but they didn't expect that the things were not hidden in the main city, but in other administrative districts.

Ji Wenting seemed to be very familiar with the area, and his skills in driving the starship were beyond their expectations, so much so that they temporarily lost him for a few minutes during a sandstorm.

It was these few minutes that gave Ji Wenting the opportunity to send the things to Liang Guanyue.

Ji Wenting had rehearsed all these actions countless times in her mind during the days of confinement. She even dreamed that someone was chasing her and what kind of driving route she needed to get rid of these people.

Alpha extended his hand and gestured, "His Highness has ordered that if you hand over the things, he will forgive you."

Ji Wenting tightly grasped the micro USB drive in his hand: "What if I don't?"

"Then we may have to take some extraordinary measures."

Ji Wenting sneered, "Kill me?"

"You insist on not handing over the information, right?"

Ji Wenting stared at her stubbornly.

Alpha mercilessly shot her in the shoulder and said, "Miss Ji, we don't want to waste too much time on this matter." Her eyes turned coldly to Ji Wenting's terminal. "And your terminal, we also need to confiscate it so that we can further investigate whether Miss Ji has other accomplices. I hope you will cooperate."
