"I..." Qinghe was not good at expressing himself. Some things had been hidden in his heart for too long, and he simply didn't know how to say them. Just as he hesitated, Su Yushan couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere any longer and turned to leave the room.
Qinghe was still in a daze when Yunfang nudged him and anxiously reminded him, "Go after them! What I say doesn't count; you have to personally express your feelings to show your sincerity."
If Yunfang hadn't taken the lead, Qinghe might not have had the courage to bring it up. Now that she had, he should make things clear, otherwise he and Yu'er might not be able to get along anymore.
Encouraged, he didn't hesitate any longer and immediately followed her out. "Miss Yu, wait! I have something to tell you!"
Su Yushan had already reached the outside of the courtyard when she spotted a carriage parked not far away, with several people standing there. She dared not go any further and had to stop and turn towards the back of the courtyard.
Qinghe quickly took a few steps to block her path, "Miss Yu! Listen to me."
Su Yushan felt uncomfortable and at a loss, so she quickly said, "Yunfang always likes to joke, I won't take it seriously, don't worry."
After a moment's hesitation, Qinghe gazed into her eyes and said, "Yunfang wasn't joking. What she said is true. I did lie about the hand warmer. Mother didn't tell me. I saw you rubbing your hands often and was worried that you would get cold, so I had someone make a hand warmer for you."
Hearing this, Su Yushan's soft heart was inevitably touched. She called that slight ripple "moved". After a long silence, she pretended to be calm and said, "Thank you for your concern."
Qinghe disagreed with this definition, saying, "My concern for you is more than just ordinary; in fact, I..."
Realizing what he might say, Su Yushan immediately interrupted, "I suddenly remembered I have something to do, I'll go back first."
"Miss Yu! Let me finish!" Qinghe quickly stepped in front of her, determined to reveal all the thoughts that had been hidden in his heart for so long.
"At first, I did doubt your background and worried that you would implicate us, so I was somewhat hostile towards you. After I learned about your experiences, I no longer felt hostility or indifference towards you, but I didn't care much either."
I started noticing you because that day you said: "It's better to forget candy coated in shards of glass." At that moment, your eyes held a poignant sadness that evoked pity.
Su Yushan immediately corrected her, "Pity is not an emotion, it's just sympathy. Don't be fooled by your own misconception."
Qinghe was always cautious and not an impulsive person. "At first, I also thought it was just sympathy, so I never explicitly expressed anything to you."
After I found my parents, they told me to stay in Beijing. The first thought that flashed through my mind was… if I left, who would take care of you? At that moment, I realized with a start that you had already entered my heart long ago.
Faced with his heartfelt outpouring, Su Yushan's only reaction was disbelief. She felt it defied common sense, "You know perfectly well that I..."
He understood her concerns. "I know, I know everything. You've been with men, and you're pregnant. I know all of that, but so what? That's all in the past. You had bad luck with men, but you dared to fight back and start over. I admire your courage and appreciate your carefree attitude."
"Yu'er, I truly love you and want to be with you. Come back to the capital with me! I will protect you."
That place was a cage to her. "I escaped from the capital, how could I possibly go back?"
"Are you worried that he will take you back? Don't worry, although I haven't regained all my memories, I know that our family has a lot of prestige in the capital. Even noble families wouldn't dare to bully you easily."
He wasn't even afraid of noble families, so what exactly was his identity? Su Yushan subconsciously asked, "Which clan... are you from?"
But then he heard Qinghe say in a clear voice, "I am a descendant of the Fucha clan."
Fucha clan! Upon hearing this, Su Yushan was immediately terrified, but she comforted herself not to be afraid. After all, there are many branches of this surname. For example, Princess Fucha and the Fujin share the same surname, but they are not from the same family.
So Su Yushan asked again, "Then who is your father?"
My father's name was Li Rongbao.
Li Rongbao! Upon hearing this name, Su Yushan gasped! She recognized the name; the father of Consort Fucha was none other than Li Rongbao!
Qinghe was also Li Rongbao's child, which meant that he and the Fujin were family!
So what exactly did she do? She sent Qinghe to recognize his relatives, but his relative turned out to be the Fujin (princess's wife)?
That means he was Hongli's brother-in-law!
This inexplicable coincidence left her uneasy and bewildered!
Seeing that her face was deathly pale and she seemed to be in great turmoil, Qinghe asked curiously, "Have you heard of my father's name?"
How could she not have heard of it? "The Fucha family, one of the four great families in the capital, is known to everyone."
"So don't worry, with me protecting you, no one will dare to touch you."
If her ex-boyfriend were just an ordinary rich kid, she would believe Qinghe's words. But he was a prince! No matter how powerful the Fucha family was, they wouldn't dare to go against the royal family.
Qinghe couldn't protect her, and she didn't want to take the risk. With a long sigh, Su Yushan softly advised:
“You are from a prominent family, while I am a pregnant woman. We are simply not a good match.”
She is very perceptive, clear-headed, and has carefully considered things beforehand.
"Are you worried about what people will say about your identity? I've said I don't mind. If you mind those rumors, I can tell people that you're carrying my child. I'm willing to be the father of your child. I will take care of you and the child."
