Chapter 169: Honesty
Time seemed to stand still at that moment. No one spoke in the room; it was so quiet that Ye Fei could feel each other's breathing.
My breathing was a little erratic, and my heart was beating very fast.
Ye Fei stared blankly at the boy standing in front of her. Although his expression was calm, there was a hint of affection in his eyes as he met her gaze.
"I'm serious."
Li Yuan cupped her cheeks in his hands and spoke softly.
Ye Fei blinked her eyes, and after a while, she slightly curved her lips and raised her hand to place it on the back of his hand.
Her movement made Li Yuan freeze, and then a surge of joy welled up in his heart—could it be that she felt the same way about him...?
"My feelings for you are different from my feelings for them," Ye Fei murmured softly, her eyes slightly closed. "Although I don't know your true identity, I can feel your feelings for me. Li Yuan, besides me, which other girl have you ever treated like this?"
Li Yuan immediately said, "You are the first girl to get close to me."
Ye Fei opened her eyes, raising an eyebrow with some suspicion: "Really?"
“I will not allow anyone to approach me except my subordinates,” Li Yuan answered truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Ye Fei suddenly reached out and touched his face. Feeling the delicate touch of the girl's fingertips spreading inch by inch, his ears couldn't help but burn: "What... are you doing?"
Seeing his shy yet hesitant expression, Ye Fei felt much better.
Tsk, she actually quite likes seeing his innocent little face.
Ye Fei suppressed her urge to tease him and said seriously, "You should tell me who you are."
Li Yuan nodded; this was the reason he had come here tonight.
Having chosen to be honest with her, he didn't want to hide anything from her.
Li Yuan closed his eyes slightly, and a faint black mist enveloped him.
Ye Fei stared intently as he was enveloped in black mist. The next second, the mist dissipated, and the young man transformed into a man.
Tall and slender, with dark hair cascading over his shoulders, he possessed a handsome face that seemed capable of melting away the beauty of nature, and a pair of deep purple eyes that could hold a thousand stars. Dressed in a black brocade robe, he exuded an indescribable domineering and noble aura.
Ye Fei's eyes widened, and she involuntarily took a step back—it was him?!
The purple-eyed man she encountered by the Abyss of the Burial Gods when she was reborn!
But he was different now than he was then. Back then, by the pool, he only had murderous intent towards her.
Now, the killing intent in his purple eyes had long since vanished.
Ye Fei froze on the spot, her mind racing.
It turns out that ever since she saved the boy "Li," he had been eyeing her...
Li Yuan appeared in his true form. He noticed that Ye Fei's expression was somewhat unnatural and raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
Ye Fei realized what was happening and said in a rather resentful tone, "You lied to me."
A certain emperor: "..."
The girl stepped forward, grabbed his collar with an air of authority, and forced him to bend down and look her in the eye: "You disguised yourself as a boy and told me you were being chased, all so you could stay by my side?"
Knowing he was in the wrong, Li Yuan didn't push her away even though she had made such a disrespectful gesture towards him. He nodded and said, "Mm."
"Then what is your purpose in staying by my side?" Ye Fei frowned; this was the only thing she couldn't understand or comprehend.
Li Yuan wrapped one arm around her slender waist, then sat her on the bed with his arms around her.
Ye Fei sat on his lap, and before she could react, the man rested his chin on her shoulder and said slowly, "I will tell you everything you want to know."
