Chapter 215: Do you have a heart?

But Chen Hechuan suddenly turned his head to avoid her kiss, then stood up suddenly and took several steps back.

"Oh……"

He sneered.

"Use your one night to buy your freedom?"

Gu Jingchun also sat up and looked at Chen Hechuan.

He looked relatively calm.

However, when she saw Chen Hechuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"Mu Qian."

She spoke.

"You know, that's not what I meant."

"I just...want to make you happy."

Shen Hechuan continued to sneer.

"What about after the fun, and then watching you leave?"

There was something like broken ice in Shen Hechuan's eyes.

"Gu Jingchun, do you have a heart?"

He stared into Gu Jingchun's eyes, as if he wanted to see a hint of pity in her eyes.

But, no.

Gu Jingchun's eyes were full of calmness.

She was so calm as if she was talking about someone else's business.

She said, "I do."

"You know, my heart is with you."

Chen Hechuan chuckled.

"On me?"

"Ask yourself, do you believe this?"

"If your heart is with me, why do you keep wanting to leave me?"

"Your heart is with me, why do you never think about me?"

"When we first met, you wanted to leave me."

"After we met again, you still wanted to leave me.

If I hadn't brought people to chase you back that day, you would have been hiding somewhere and living your life to the fullest, right?"

"Even if you entered the palace later, it was only for Gu Jinxi's safety, so that the palace could protect him."

"And now, because of what he said, because he said he didn't like the palace, you're going to leave me again and abandon me?"

When Chen Hechuan said this, the broken ice in his eyes had melted and turned into pieces of water vapor, which stayed in his eye sockets, ready to fall at any time.

He looked at Gu Jingchun and kept questioning her, as if he wanted to hear different answers from her.

"I haven't been able to face you all this time."

"I'm just afraid you'll tell me you want to leave."

"But even so, you still came after me, telling me in such a shameful way that I would give you one night in exchange for your leaving."

"Hahaha."

Chen Hechuan raised his head and laughed, and as he laughed, tears began to flow from his eyes.

"Gu Jingchun, when will you put me first?"

Gu Jingchun looked at Chen Hechuan and felt a dull pain in his heart.

However, she didn't know how to explain it.

She came today because she really wanted Chen Hechuan to let them leave the palace.

Xier doesn't like the palace, and Gu Jingchun doesn't want the son he raised so carefully to become a machine in the imperial city.

Moreover, she also knew that according to Chen Hechuan's thoughts, he must have been prepared to let her leave.

She just wanted to leave the palace without any regrets, and also wanted to make him happy.

But why did Shen Hechuan react so strongly?

She was silent and didn't speak for a while.

But Chen Hechuan didn't intend to let her go just like that. He stepped forward and continued to stare at Gu Jingchun.

"Why don't you speak?"

"You actually don't even want to lie to me?"

Gu Jingchun looked at Chen Hechuan, finally sighed, and spoke slowly.

"Mu Qian, Xi'er, that's our child."

"I just want Xier to be happy, is that wrong?"

“That’s wrong!”

Shen Hechuan shouted angrily.

"I don't care who he is. I only care about you. I just want you to put me first in your heart."

"I just want you to think about me more when you make a decision. I don't care who he is, I only want you."

"Why can't you just stay in the palace?"

"Here, I will protect you!

I can protect you too.

You don't need to worry about anything, just eat, drink, and play happily every day, isn't that okay?"

Shen Hechuan's words made Gu Jingchun silent again.

After a moment, she slowly spoke.

"Mu Qian, I can't do it."

"Xi'er is not just my son to me, but more like my partner, and more like myself."

She looked at Chen Hechuan with a look of determination she had never had before.

“I can’t let someone else arrange everything for me.”

"I can't completely entrust my future to any one person."

"Whether it's you or the future Xi'er."

“I can’t do any of that.”

"I want to be in control of myself. I want to decide my own future."

"I have to choose the path I will take in the future, what I will do, even if it means death."

"My experience has determined that I will never be able to wait peacefully in this palace, waiting for you to come back and give me a smile of charity."

Gu Jingchun slowly closed his eyes.

Thinking about my past life and everything I've experienced in the past five years, I still can't let myself stay in the palace like this.

“This time Xier wants to leave the palace, it seems that she doesn’t like the palace.

The same is true because I don’t like it either.”

"I know you will be unhappy, so I will try to save you. I will try to make you happy, just like just now, I just wanted to make you happy."

"In my heart, there is only one person who comes first, and that is myself."

"I will not change because of anyone, and I will not compromise myself for anyone."

Gu Jingchun's words were firm and left no room for maneuver.

Although Chen Hechuan had no hope, he couldn't help feeling sad when he heard this.

He couldn't understand it. He had clearly done so much for Gu Jingchun.

But why couldn't she care about him a little?

Feel a little sorry for him?

He really didn't ask for much. He just wanted Gu Jingchun to care about him a little more and feel a little more sorry for him. That's all.

This made him feel even more uncomfortable.

This discomfort made him look cold and he ignored Gu Jingchun.

"I understand what you mean."

He said, "Go away."

"Tomorrow, I will send someone to escort you out of the palace."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Chen Hechuan.

But Chen Hechuan turned his head away, clenched his hands into fists, and only then did he resist looking at Gu Jingchun.

Seeing this, Gu Jingchun stopped looking at him, obeyed his wishes, and was about to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Chen Hechuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Gu Jingchun.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you anymore."

After saying that, he turned his back and this time he would definitely not look at Gu Jingchun again.

Gu Jingchun nodded, no longer hesitated, and strode out of Chen Hechuan's bedroom.

Only after Gu Jingchun left did Shen Hechuan suddenly turn his head.

He looked towards the door and felt extremely empty and uncomfortable in his heart.

"How cruel!"

He murmured.

"I told you to go, and you left."

"He also said that he wanted to save me and make me happier.

If you want to make me happy, why can't you just coax me a little more?"

"What if, by coaxing me, I will be happy?"

At this moment, Gu Jingchun had just walked out of the room and stopped for a moment.

His originally steady steps became a little unsteady.
