Qi Yan took the initiative to extend his hand to her, and Wan Ge obediently grasped it. He seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because he had heard everything that had just been said.
Qi Yan walked with her. In fact, he had just gone to hear his subordinates report that Wan Ge had been found out, and this time the information was extremely accurate.
As it turns out, Wan Ge rarely interacts with others, let alone other men. She is usually very quiet within her sect, obediently practicing and not going out unless necessary.
Qi Yan had already figured out all her social relationships from the past twelve years. Therefore, he suspected that there was no such person as someone she supposedly liked, and that it was just an excuse she used to refuse to marry someone else.
…
Even as she fell asleep, Wan Ge could sense that the other person was in a good mood. In her drowsy state, she heard the other person ask, "Do you have someone you like?"
Wan Ge's answer was affirmative; of course, she had someone she liked. However, faced with such a forceful question, Wan Ge didn't reveal who that person was.
Qi Yan felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly filtered through all the people related to her in her mind, but there was no one she could suspect.
Could it be that she has been secretly in love with him all along, and that they have no relationship on the surface?
…
Wan Ge slept soundly all night, but Qi Yan couldn't sleep at all. No way! He had to get to the bottom of things today; he had to find out who she really liked.
Qi Yan didn't even go to court; he stayed in his room waiting for her to wake up. Even though he knew she wouldn't wake up so soon, he still waited there.
So when Wan Ge woke up at noon, there wasn't a single palace maid in front of her, not even her own little maid Ning Lu. Only Qi Yan was sitting there, doing nothing as if he was just waiting for her to get up.
"Your Majesty?" Wan Ge slowly walked towards the person, her eyes filled with doubt.
Qi Yan looked at her with an extremely serious expression. He didn't seem angry, but he was definitely not joking: "Tell me, who exactly is the person you like?"
Before Wan Ge could even speak, the other person stood up and walked towards her step by step, each step carrying a serious and imposing aura.
Wan Ge could sense that if she didn't give him an answer soon, he was going to use the same methods he used on others against her.
Facing this man who couldn't change her past yet knew it all, Wan Ge wasn't very nervous. She simply asked him, "What does Your Majesty think?"
"Even now, you still don't want to tell me? You want to protect him? You think that as long as you don't tell me, I won't know?" She was still thinking about protecting that man! Qi Yan took a deep breath, feeling inexplicably angry.
Qi Yan pinched her chin, but this time he didn't control his strength well, and a red mark was quickly left on Wan Ge's cheek.
Wan Ge just stared at him without backing down.
Just when Qi Yan thought the other party would never tell him, Wan Ge spoke up: "Yes, if I don't tell you, you'll never know."
Even now, he still doubts that he likes someone else. When will he realize that he likes him?
Wan Ge shook off his hand and pushed him out the door, her voice filled with anger: "Qi Yan, get out of here. If you can't figure out who I like, then don't ever come looking for me again."
