Chapter 164 The Little Queen Whose Wife Was Taken Away by the King (31)
"In your previous life, An Huaiyuan, that timid and irresponsible coward, couldn't protect you. Why, in this life, do you choose Huo Tingye?"
Hearing these words, Qingwu couldn't help but shudder all over, and her delicate body trembled slightly.
Her eyes were instantly filled with crystal tears, like two sparkling pearls rolling in her eye sockets about to fall.
Her breathing became rapid and disordered, as if she was experiencing an unspeakable and fierce struggle in her heart.
Xia Lingxiao, who was standing aside, took it all in and understood everything in his mind.
He didn't even need to wait for Qingwu to respond. Just observing her expression and reaction at the moment was enough for him to understand everything.
However, when he realized this fact, an indescribable feeling of displeasure quickly surged in his heart. At the same time, a deep pain that he himself had not even noticed also quietly spread.
How come Qingwu is unwilling to choose him in both lifetimes?
But it seems that he has been attracted to her for two lifetimes...
Xia Lingxiao wasn't sure if this feeling could be called a heartbeat, but he knew one thing very clearly: at this moment, he desperately wanted Qingwu.
Never thought of it that way.
Just when Xia Lingxiao couldn't help but raise his hand, ready to gently remove the veil from Qingwu's face so that he could see her face that had been haunting him clearly and vividly.
Then, his thin lips moved closer——
This was the scene Huo Tingye saw when he walked over.
Although they were said to be king and subject, Xia Lingxiao actually treated each other as brothers. He exuded the oppressive feeling of a superior, almost pushing the beauty into a corner.
The beauty was thin, like a frightened bird, her back pressed against the cold wall, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes, her knuckles white, and tears welling up in her eyes.
Isolated, helpless and pitiful.
And the man in front of her, the Crown Prince praised by everyone, now looked like a bastard who relied on his power to oppress a decent woman.
It turned out that Huo Tingye was walking forward quickly, and every step he took was accompanied by a sense of power that could not be ignored.
Xia Lingxiao turned around after hearing the voice and saw Huo Tingye's tall stature. The fierce aura of someone who had experienced fighting on the battlefield was overwhelming him, and the confrontation with the majesty of the prince was evenly matched for a moment.
No one was willing to give in.
"What is your Highness the Crown Prince doing? Using your authority as crown prince to humiliate my fiancée?"
As Huo Tingye spoke, he moved away from Xia Lingxiao with swift movements.
Then, he stood firmly in front of Qingwu and protected her firmly behind him.
Although Huo Tingye bowed to Xia Lingxiao on the surface, his tone was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was no fear at all.
His eyes, as deep as a pool, stared straight at Xia Lingxiao, with no intention of retreating.
When Qing Wu saw Huo Tingye appear, she felt as if she was instantly relieved.
Without hesitation, she hid behind Huo Tingye, stuck out half of her head, and looked at Huo Tingye with eyes full of dependence and trust.
——That look was as if he was looking up at a god who came down from the sky to save him from danger.
It's heartbreaking to watch, and drives you crazy.
Xia Lingxiao's expression darkened instantly, and a hint of obvious anger flashed across his eyes. "Huo Tingye, at this moment, you two are not really an engaged couple."
Huo Tingye showed no intention of backing down: "His Majesty has already agreed. As long as Awu agrees, he will personally grant us a marriage contract."
After he finished speaking, he slowly turned his head, his deep eyes fixed on Qingwu, the tender and passionate emotions contained in them seemed to be able to melt people.
At this moment, his voice also became gentle and affectionate, a tone Xia Lingxiao had never heard before, as soft as the ripples on the lake caused by the spring breeze.
"Awu, will you choose me, become my wife, and marry me?"
The invincible god of war on the battlefield, the lion who never bows his head—
He always holds his head high, let alone showing such loyalty and sincerity as he does now.
This kind of look is certainly heart-warming.
Under the two men's expectant gazes, Qingwu finally raised her head slightly.
There were still a few tears hanging in her clear eyes, and her slightly red eye sockets added a bit of endearing charm.
Huo Tingye's originally deep eyes became even deeper.
A trace of determination flashed in Qing Wu's eyes, and she nodded vigorously. Although her voice was small, it was particularly clear in the silent corridor: "I...I am willing to marry General Huo."
