Su Wanyan pulled her hand away from his: "I'll go back to the courtyard first, you two can talk slowly."
"Yan'er, wait for me..."
"Your Highness!" Qiu Nanyan frowned and stopped Yu Nanqing: "Your Highness, don't you remember me?"
"Get out!" Yu Nanqing glared at her darkly, his bloodthirsty pupils staring at Qiu Nanyan like a demon. The murderous aura emanating from him made the latter tremble.
Yu Nanqing ignored her and followed Su Wanyan's retreating figure as they left the front courtyard.
Watching Yu Nanqing's departing figure, Qiu Nanyan couldn't believe that such a spirited and arrogant man would actually chase after a woman.
She clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves, her face turning terribly grim.
No, absolutely not!
"Yan'er, wait for me."
Su Wanyan ignored him and walked towards the backyard on her own.
Actually, Su Wanyan wasn't walking fast, let alone Yu Nanqing, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall. He could catch up with her in just a few steps. He reached out to pull Su Wanyan: "Yan'er!"
However, before he could pull Su Wanyan up, Su Wanyan's voice rang out first: "Don't touch me."
His voice was as calm as usual, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
Yu Nanqing's hand trembled, and he immediately withdrew it, not daring to act rashly: "Yan'er, pay attention to me."
Seeing that Su Wanyan was still walking forward on her own, Yu Nanqing anxiously followed behind her: "Yan'er! I swear I really don't know her."
"..."
"Wan Yan!" Yu Nanqing suddenly raised his voice.
Su Wanyan stopped in her tracks, frowned, and turned around: "Why are you being so fierce!"
"No...no, I didn't, I just wanted you to stop and listen to me!" Yu Nanqing hurriedly explained.
“You think I’m angry, so you’re busy trying to explain.” Su Wanyan suddenly laughed. “Whether you believe it or not, I’m not actually angry. If I had to say, it’s because you’ve been avoiding me these past few days, and I can’t find you anywhere, which makes me uncomfortable.”
If Yu Nanqing hadn't been avoiding her by leaving early and returning late every day, she probably would have already said goodbye and left, and none of this would have happened.
Of course, she could have just left, but she felt that would have been unfriendly.
Right now, she is indeed a little upset about these things, but she just wants to be alone in peace for a while and has no intention of getting angry.
Yu Nanqing felt a dull pain rise in his chest. He naturally knew what Su Wanyan wanted to say to him these past few days.
That's why he avoided her; he didn't dare listen to what Su Wanyan said.
Looking into Su Wanyan's calm eyes, almost subconsciously, Yu Nanqing took two steps back, his heart felt like it had sunk to the bottom of a lake, and even his fingertips felt icy cold.
The action was obvious, and Su Wanyan was speechless: "Dodge? You're going to dodge again?"
She raised the red book in her hand, stepped forward, and patted his chest: "Making a mountain out of a molehill, irresponsible, lacking any sense of duty, and breaking your promise. What's there to hide from? What are you afraid of!"
He slapped his hand after each sentence, as if venting his dissatisfaction.
As if a certain spot in his heart had been touched, Yu Nanqing suddenly grasped the hand that was patting her chest and blurted out, "I'm afraid you'll leave."
Wen's deep voice was urgent.
"..."
Su Wanyan raised her eyes and looked at Yu Nanqing.
Yu Nanqing felt something in his heart that he could no longer suppress. The emotions he had restrained for so long could no longer be hidden, and the burning passion in his eyes was reflected in Su Wanyan's eyes.
The grip on her wrist tightened subconsciously: "Yan'er! Please don't go, I...I..."
The word "like" stuck in my throat; I didn't know how to say it.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally blurted out, "I'll give you anything!"
"Fame, power, status, whatever you want, I'll give you, as long as... as long as you stay, stay by my side..."
As if afraid that Su Wanyan would not agree, Yu Nanqing hurriedly added, "If you insist on leaving, I can go with you. I will go wherever you go, as long as... as long as you agree, I will follow you for the rest of my life, okay?"
After saying these words, Yu Nanqing felt a chill run down her spine.
He was afraid that Su Wanyan would disagree, afraid that she would say no, so he almost pleaded as he took Su Wanyan's hand: "Wanyan, please say yes..."
Otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
He couldn't imagine life without her; he no longer knew how to live alone.
Such passionate words are so eloquent that even a three-year-old child could understand their meaning.
However, Su Wanyan's expression remained calm.
There was little surprise, no astonishment as one might expect, and no shyness whatsoever. She simply watched Yu Nanqing quietly as he finished saying what he wanted to say.
Yu Nanqing didn't understand. He couldn't understand why Su Wanyan had no expression at all. Even if she had the slightest reaction, he wouldn't be so panicked that he felt like he was suffocating.
Could it be... that Su Wanyan really has no feelings for him at all?
After spending so many days together, even if there were no romantic feelings between them, it wouldn't...
Suddenly, Yu Nanqing's eyes widened as if struck by a sudden realization, and he stared in astonishment at Su Wanyan before him.
His slightly parted lips trembled slightly for no apparent reason, and he tentatively asked, "You...know?"
If she wasn't completely devoid of feelings for him, then Su Wanyan must have known his intentions from the very beginning, which is why she remained so calm and unmoved by his confession.
"Mm." Su Wanyan did not deny it, and her response confirmed Yu Nanqing's guess.
Yu Nanqing was struck dumb, staggering in disbelief: "So... you just let me do this..."
He showered her with concern and allowed him to express his feelings, yet she showed no reaction whatsoever?
Even if she knew it, she couldn't feel any affection for him.
Seeing Yu Nanqing's shocked and hurt expression, Su Wanyan rolled her eyes speechlessly and pulled her hand away from his grip: "Don't overthink it. You've never seriously said anything, how am I supposed to know if you're really interested in me? What if I'm just imagining things? You can't expect a girl like me to be the one to spell it out, can you?"
Of course, she could see through Yu Nanqing's intentions.
No matter what, she had lived two lives; even if she was slow-witted, she couldn't possibly be completely oblivious.
But she wasn't completely oblivious. Back when she was with Yu Nanqing, she felt that he was as dazzling as the warm sun, so dazzling that she didn't dare to look him in the eye for even a second longer.
She had thought more than once that Yu Nanqing had an excellent figure, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight and slender body, and an impeccable appearance. When he was angry, he had a powerful aura that made people afraid to approach him. She didn't know what others thought, but she felt very safe with him like that.
In his leisure time, he is gentle and tender, captivating people with his gaze.
If you spend enough time together, even an iron tree can bloom, let alone her.
