When Chu Fan heard Tang Ji's words, he was also stunned. Chu Fan thought to himself if he was too bad, as he had never given a clear answer to Mu Xi and other women.
Chu Fan couldn't help but think with some regret: It is true that I had planned to hold a grand wedding for them a long time ago, and I also promised them this when I came back on the Lantern Festival night. Why did I keep delaying this matter until now?
The main reason Chu Fan hadn't taken action was that he was unwilling to face the situation, and the reason was closely related to some of the things he had encountered on Blue Star.
When Chu Fan was still on Blue Star, he had an unforgettable relationship experience that brought him deep hurt. Chu Fan once worked tirelessly as a delivery boy for this relationship and worked hard just to support his girlfriend's studies and help her graduate successfully.
However, while Chu Fan was delivering the takeaway, he unexpectedly discovered that his beloved girlfriend was actually checking into a hotel with another man.
This made Chu Fan feel confused and painful. He didn't understand what he had done wrong. He had given everything to this relationship, but he had never received a hug from his girlfriend. Even a simple hand-holding seemed so luxurious. Not to mention a kiss or further intimate contact.
However, within a few days, she had sex with another man, which made Chu Fan's heart ache like a knife. Since then, Chu Fan has had a deep shadow on love and lost confidence and courage in love.
After the blow of this incident, Chu Fan became depressed. Chu Fan finally chose to return to his quiet hometown in the remote mountain area, the hometown filled with the fragrance of earth.
There, he lived a simple and peaceful life, using the mountains, rivers, and tranquility to heal the wounds in his heart. The painful past gradually faded from his memory. However, to ensure a carefree life in the mountains, Chu Fan decided to return to his busy schedule and began his frantic work schedule. This, in turn, led to Chu Fan's overwork and transmigrating into this world.
Even though Chu Fan was the supreme emperor in this world, he could not find the peace and freedom he had on Blue Star, in the mountains. This was why Chu Fan had given up his position as emperor in this world and was determined to complete the system mission and return to Blue Star.
For Chu Fan, his true home is where his parents are. There he holds his deepest emotional attachments and his warmest memories. This longing for home fills every night he spends away from home with longing.
Chu Fan was apprehensive about relationships, afraid of being hurt again. Therefore, he often maintained ambiguous relationships with Mu Xi and other women, but never made any commitments. He knew the fragility of love and was unwilling to give his heart away easily.
Despite the pain he's endured, Chu Fan continues to be surrounded by beautiful women. This all stems from his plan to incite Mu Yunfeng to revolt, forcing Mu Xi into the palace. However, as events unfolded, Chu Fan's plan not only failed but also escalated into the complexities of his current situation.
Chu Fan gently placed the novel in his hand on the table, then took a deep breath and slowly said, "Have you really made up your mind to become my wife? You must understand that what I cannot tolerate the most is betrayal. Once you choose to follow me, you must show absolute loyalty, otherwise..."
Chu Fan paused for a moment, as if considering his next words, and then continued, "Otherwise, there wouldn't be any particularly serious consequences. But if it really comes to that, we might just have to part ways amicably."
At first, Chu Fan wanted to say: Otherwise, I will never let them go easily. But when he recalled the betrayal and hurt he had suffered in the past, he changed his mind.
Chu Fan deceived himself in his mind: He almost fell in love with them. No matter what happened, he didn't want to experience that kind of pain and pain again.
Besides Liu Xueyu, Chu Fan also had similar concerns and worries about other women. For example, Tang Ji and Wen Xuexuan, their initial purpose in approaching him, was he really completely unaware of it?
Chu Fan also clearly knew that he needed their help and support at that moment, so he chose to let them stay by his side. Chu Fan also didn't know whether they had true feelings for him. Chu Fan was conflicted, longing for true love but fearing betrayal.
When they heard the first sentence, Mu Xi and other women felt extremely happy. However, as the words continued, their expressions gradually became serious and heavy.
Although they knew nothing about what Chu Fan had experienced on Blue Star, they could clearly feel the deep pain contained in Chu Fan's words. Especially Mu Xi, she was originally a very sunny and cheerful girl, but now she burst into tears because of Chu Fan's words.
Mu Xi knew very well that he had "betrayed" Chu Fan in the past. He remembered that when Chu Fan was young, the royal family did not value him and Chu Fan was not taken seriously in the palace, so Chu Fan could often leave the palace and play with girls like them.
As she grew older, the elders in the family began to have prejudices against Chu Fan, who had no special talents, and strictly forbade her to continue to associate with him. As Chu Fan grew up, many women who had played with him were forced to distance themselves from him.
When Chu Fan finally ascended the throne and became emperor, he was unable to change the opinions of his family elders. Instead, the relationship between these women and Chu Fan became even more distant.
Until Chu Fan summoned Mu Xi to the palace, Mu Xi thought Chu Fan had forgotten the pain of the past and accepted her again, but she never expected that Chu Fan still had those scars in her heart. As for those friends who had spent their childhood with Chu Fan, Chu Fan did not summon other women to the palace.
Mu Xi's eyes were blurred with tears as she sobbed, "Brother Chu Fan, I'm sorry. I really didn't realize you still had such a deep wound in your heart. We were both so young back then, unable to resist the pressure from our family. We could only silently endure the pain of separation. I'm willing to spend the rest of my life making up for the regrets of the past. I only ask that you forgive my ignorance and helplessness back then."
Mu Xi's heart was filled with guilt towards Chu Fan from the years of forced separation from her family. She knew Chu Fan's pain wasn't just due to betrayal, but also due to the unspeakable loneliness. Wasn't there scar in her heart too?
