"The choice you're referring to, are you referring to yourself?"
Qi Chang'an's smile carried a fresh and gentle air, untouched by worldly concerns. "That choice will definitely not be yours. Since you have already made your choice, why hesitate?"
Wanxuan remained silent.
Qi Chang'an's eyes, as dark as night, now possessed a sharpness that could see through people's hearts.
Before Hua Yan arrived, Wan Xuan's attentive care and deep affection for Feng Guang already went beyond the boundaries of siblings.
Wanxuan has extraordinary patience with Fengguang. He talks to her, listens to her complaints, and is always concerned about her safety. If all of this is simply described as brotherly and sisterly affection, only the naive Fengguang would believe it.
Indeed, Wanxuan had liked Fengguang, but Fengguang was always clueless about his feelings. He was also an introverted person who lacked initiative, so he never confessed his feelings. It was in this silent state that Huayan appeared.
Wanxuan couldn't understand it either. After meeting Huayan in the back garden that night, Huayan's conversation and gentle nature left a deep impression on him. And later, unbeknownst to Fengguang, in his interactions with Huayan, that feeling of spiritual connection grew stronger and stronger.
Wanxuan is not someone who easily falls in love with someone else. He has also doubted and struggled with himself, but he has to admit that he has indeed fallen in love with someone else.
He only realized this when Feng Guang confessed to him that day. What he had always dreamed of—winning Feng Guang's affection—had actually appeared before him, but he wasn't as happy as he had imagined.
At that moment, Wanxuan could only admit that he had indeed fallen for someone else.
When Feng Guang asked him if he had ever liked her, the answer was yes. But Wan Xuan couldn't say it. Perhaps his conscience was telling him that if he said it, he would really be a fickle man.
This did not align with Wanxuan's moral standards over the years. He struggled, but had no choice but to follow his heart and ultimately gave in.
Qi Chang'an understood why Wan Xuan was silent. He had noticed it long ago: Wan Xuan used to like Feng Guang. At the time, he only thought Feng Guang was a willful and bad-tempered young lady, and even wondered why a man would like this type of girl. Later... well, later Qi Chang'an was proven wrong by his own thoughts.
It's not that the scenery is unworthy of Qi Chang'an, but rather that Wanxuan is unworthy of the scenery.
Qi Chang'an smiled and looked at the moonlight shining on the leaves. He said softly, "Feng Guang said that she was grateful that you rejected her back then. Otherwise, if she had married you and then found out that you loved another woman, she would have been in even more pain."
"She...did she really say that?" Wanxuan was uncertain, but he couldn't be uncertain. He knew Fengguang. Fengguang lived a carefree life, but she was also the most ruthless person.
“I encouraged Feng Guang to confess her feelings because I was waiting for her to be rejected. Now… I’m genuinely glad she was rejected.” Qi Chang’an shook his head and chuckled, glancing slightly at Wan Xuan. His tone was calm as still water. “Opportunity only comes once. If you miss it, it’s gone forever. Young Master Wan Xuan, I hope you cherish this opportunity.”
