Under Fu Zhun's gaze, Su An touched the tip of her nose somewhat guiltily, forced a dry laugh, and moved closer to him.
"Hey, it's been a long time. I've come to see you."
We just met yesterday, why are you saying it's been so long?
What a lame excuse.
Fu Zhun found it amusing, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled up slightly.
He put down what he was holding and looked at her with deep eyes.
"I am in good health and there is nothing seriously wrong with me. But you, I'm afraid you came here today not just to tell me these things, right? If you have something to say, please speak frankly."
Nothing really escapes his eyes.
Su An scratched his head, then sat down on a chair not far from him, poured him a cup of tea, and smiled sincerely.
"Your Highness is indeed insightful. In that case, I will speak plainly."
“The prison is dark and damp, and the environment is really bad. In addition, Miss Li fell into the water yesterday and is already weak. Staying in the prison for a long time may cause her to develop a chronic illness, and in serious cases, it may even cost her her life.”
"How about we release her first? If you're really worried, you can have her placed under house arrest."
Upon hearing her mention Li Wanyue, Fu Zhun's face instantly darkened.
The gentleness in his eyes was replaced by anger.
He shifted his gaze to the teacup of clear tea beside him, pressed it against his back teeth, and let out a soft snort.
"Did she send you to plead for her? If her health is really that bad, then let her die in prison."
Su An was speechless after hearing his words and didn't know how to comfort him.
Does he hate Li Wanyue that much?
However, love can breed hate. Could it be that Fu Zhun still harbors feelings for Li Wanyue, and that's why he suddenly became hateful after learning that Li Wanyue was with Chu Yi, and took this opportunity to torment her?
How terrifying!
Thinking of this, Su An shook his head and clicked his tongue, secretly sighing in his heart.
She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Fu Zhun again, her gaze changing.
Fu Zhun sipped his tea without saying a word, his face grim.
The room was unusually quiet.
Su An tried to break the silence several times, but when her gaze fell on his stern face, she swallowed her words.
While the Eight Trigrams are important, life is clearly more important.
Gossip in moderation, cherish life!
She gently touched her chest, suppressing her curiosity.
Noticing her subtle movements, Fu Zhun subconsciously glanced at her out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing her solemn expression and seemingly uneasy look, he couldn't help but reflect in his heart: Could it be that he had been too excited and looked too serious just now, scaring her?
Thinking of this possibility, his expression softened, and he took the initiative to speak.
"You don't understand her, so it's inevitable that you'll be misled by her. Just remember that she's good at playing the victim, so just ignore her in the future."
This immediately piqued Su An's interest, and he followed up with another question.
"So you know her very well! Fu Zhun, you don't actually still like Miss Li, that's why you hate her so much, do you?"
As she spoke, she propped her head up with her hands, staring intently at Fu Zhun, not missing a single expression on his face.
Fu Zhun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and chuckled softly.
"If that's the case, then my hatred for the Emperor is even greater than hers. Could it be that I also love the Emperor?"
Fu Zhun likes Chu Yi, this...
Upon hearing this, Su An couldn't help but imagine Fu Zhun's affectionate gaze towards Chu Yi, and immediately burst out laughing, covering her mouth.
The situation immediately eased considerably.
Fu Zhun's pupils relaxed slightly, and he lowered his eyes, recalling the past.
Do you know how my engagement with Li Wanyue was arranged?
Upon hearing this, Su An was slightly taken aback.
She used to think it was mutual affection, but looking at Fu Zhun's appearance now, it seems like there's more to it than meets the eye.
She honestly shook her head, rested her arm on the table, and asked gossipily.
How was this decision made?
"Back then, she confessed her feelings to me in front of everyone, making the whole city aware of it. But I had no feelings for her and didn't want to hold her back, so I politely declined. I thought that would be the end of it, but I never expected that she would accidentally fall into the water and I would save her."
"I was only focused on saving her at the time and didn't think much about it. When I pulled her out of the water, her clothes were soaked. I was afraid that this incident would affect her reputation, so I got engaged to her."
Fu Zhun sighed, his tone tinged with bitterness.
What an cheesy hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope.
She had just confessed her feelings and been rejected, and then she fell into the water right in front of him and was saved by him. What a coincidence!
Without a doubt, this silly boy has been tricked.
Su An couldn't help but mutter to himself.
But then again, since he was willing to get engaged to Li Wanyue, it must be because he still had feelings for her.
Otherwise, if he really had no feelings for her at all, given his cold-blooded and ruthless nature, why would he care about her reputation?
Thinking of this, Su An felt a pang of sadness and tightness in his chest.
She leaned back slightly, gently swaying her legs, pursed her lips, and said in a sarcastic tone.
"As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. If you didn't like her, why would you be willing to marry her? In the end, you still have feelings for her. Since that's the case, and she has now changed her mind, why don't you take this opportunity to reconcile with her and make up for your regrets?"
"Don't blame me for not warning you, if you treat her like this, you'll be in deep trouble later."
Fu Zhun didn't understand what a crematorium was.
But he could sense the jealousy in Su An's words.
Seeing her looking at the doorway and then at the window frame, doing nothing but appearing very busy, Fu Zhun couldn't help but smile slightly and tease her.
"You ate sour soup dumplings this morning, so why are you talking in such a sour tone?"
His teasing made Su An's face flush slightly, and she turned around to glare at him angrily.
Afraid that she would really be angry, Fu Zhun smiled lightly and quickly began to explain.
"My feelings for her were nothing more than pity and benevolence, without a trace of romantic love. What regret could I possibly have?"
"My heart has always belonged to only one person, but I don't know how to win her heart. Could you please give me some advice?"
As he spoke, his eyes were filled with tenderness, as if they were glued to Su An's face.
Su An's face flushed slightly under his intense gaze.
She quickly looked away, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips, and her heart began to beat faster.
Although Fu Zhun did not say it explicitly, the two of them already understood each other implicitly.
He had confessed his feelings to her several times before, but she had reservations and rejected him each time.
"You should figure this out yourself! A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea. I'm not smart enough to understand a young lady's thoughts."
Su An raised an eyebrow and gave a vague response.
