Lan Jingtang could sense Yi Chenli's resistance to this topic.
But he just didn't want to make things so easy for him.
He said somewhat provocatively, "Is it because it's unimportant, or because you know but don't want to face it?"
"I don't mind letting the Sixth Prince know more clearly. The reason I agreed to save the prince was purely because of Xiao Yuan'er."
"These past few days, when we were in danger on the cliff, Xiao Yuan'er disregarded her own safety and personally sucked out the snake venom for me, saving me from peril. In that life-or-death moment, we stayed by each other's side, sharing a bed and a roast chicken..."
"Enough!" Yi Chenli interrupted Lan Jingtang loudly.
How could he pretend not to care? He did care; it was like a fishbone stuck in his throat.
However, he felt somewhat helpless, knowing that she did it for his leg.
Lan Jingtang continued to press, "I think, what does it matter how long two people spend together? If they haven't faced life and death together, how can they truly understand their own hearts? Although I haven't known Xiao Yuan'er for long, I know that my heart is with her, and I'm willing to spend the rest of my life pursuing her."
Lan Jingtang kept putting pressure on Yi Chenli, trying to break down his mental defenses.
The more you care, the more likely you are to lose your rationality.
For a moment, Yi Chenli almost lost control, but his years of self-control allowed him to quickly calm down.
He raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "If Young Master Lan wants to play mind games with me, he is overestimating himself. This kind of game is exactly what I excel at."
“When someone reveals all their cards from the very beginning, it proves that they have already gone all out and have no more cards to play. Young Master Lan repeatedly emphasized to me what you and Yuan Gun Gun did at the bottom of the cliff, which just proves that, apart from that, there is absolutely no connection between you two.”
Yi Chenli smiled dismissively: "But I am different from Young Master Lan. I have a long-standing friendship with Yuan Gun Gun. If we were to tell you the story, Young Master Lan would probably have to stay at Chenyang Palace for a long time to hear it all."
"You..." Lan Jingtang was silenced by Yi Chenli.
Yi Chenli's pupils were pitch black, filled with coldness: "Blue Realm Hall, some people are never something you should even dream of."
Lan Jingtang did not back down, but met Yi Chenli's gaze: "You shouldn't have been fantasizing, but you've been fantasizing for days. Beautiful things should attract people to pursue them. Does the Sixth Prince really have the ability to cover up everything and drive everyone away?"
"I am a doctor, and doctors are most patient. I am waiting for that day to come."
If Yi Chenli is a proud "wolf," then Lan Jingtang is a cunning "fox." Although the fox doesn't have the ability to go head-to-head with the wolf, what's most frightening is the fox's cunning. There will always be times when the wolf isn't paying attention and the fox will snatch the fat rabbit home.
The atmosphere between the two was tense; if it weren't for An Yuan'er, they probably wouldn't have ended up in the same space.
"Please sit here, Sixth Prince, let me examine your legs."
Although Lan Jingtang disliked Yi Chenli, he still clearly distinguished between public and private matters.
Yi Chenli did not hesitate and cooperated with Lan Jingtang in examining his legs.
Lan Jingtang pressed down on Yi Chenli's legs. He could clearly feel that Yi Chenli was resistant to being touched by others, but he endured it.
"Aren't you afraid I might do something to you? Why are you so comfortable letting me examine you?" Lan Jingtang asked curiously.
Yi Chenli snorted coldly: "If you doubt someone, don't use them; if you use someone, don't doubt them."
"Under the whole world, perhaps only the Lan family can cure my leg ailment. Although I don't like you, I won't go against myself."
