1996 Meet, No Future

Dong Ling Zi Luo's confession was not very clever, Feng Qing Chen understood it, but she also decisively rejected it: "I will not marry you."

Dong Ling Zi Luo's heart choked, but he still refused to give up: "He needs a father. I will treat him as my own child. I can give up my own child."

It was not surprising that Dong Ling Zi Luo would say such a thing. Except for Sun Sixing and Ling Mo who didn't care about the matter, I'm afraid everyone knew that there was a problem between Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Uncle.

Feng Qingchen had been in Xuanyi Valley for two months, but the Ninth Uncle had never asked a single question about him, and Feng Qingchen had not mentioned anything about the Ninth Uncle either.

"My child, you can live well without a father." Feng Qingchen asked, stroking her belly with a loving face, radiating the glow of motherhood.

Only after becoming a mother did I realize that all my previous worries and anxieties were unnecessary. As long as my child is born and grows up safely, that is the greatest happiness.

She will do her best to give her child the best.

Dong Ling Ziluo's eyes flashed, and he sighed softly: "Is it me who can't do it, or is it anyone else who can't do it?"

"No one can do that." She would not just find a father for her child. This would be an insult to her and to the Ninth Prince...

Although Feng Qingchen was afraid that her illegitimate child's identity would make her child live a harder life than ordinary people, she had never thought of letting her child recognize someone else as his father.

"Isn't it possible for the Ninth Uncle too?" Dong Ling Ziluo didn't know why he asked such a question. By the time he reacted, he had already asked it.

"He..." Feng Qingchen was startled, and her lower abdomen felt a sharp pain. Feng Qingchen was so scared that she immediately regained her composure and said calmly: "It won't work. If you miss it, you miss it."

This sentence showed Feng Qingchen's attitude towards the Ninth Uncle, and also showed that Feng Qingchen would not consider him. Dong Ling Ziluo couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed, he just knew that he felt very uncomfortable.

He really liked Qingchen, especially during the time in Xuanyi Valley. Every time he thought of her, his heart trembled, but there was no possibility between them.

Dong Ling Ziluo left in despair. He knew that everything in his dream would never come true. What he lost in this life was not only the throne, but also the woman who once belonged to him.

Feng Qingchen raised her eyes to glance at Dongling Ziluo, then continued to talk to the child in her belly, not taking the matter to heart at all.

To her, Dong Ling Zi Luo had nothing to do with her. They were from two different worlds and would never meet again, now or in the future...

The Ninth Prince did not ask about Feng Qingchen's affairs in Xuanyi Valley, nor did he send anyone to take care of Feng Qingchen, but that did not mean he knew nothing.

In fact, the Ninth Prince knew exactly what Feng Qingchen did every day, how much he ate, how long he slept, and what he said. He cared about Feng Qingchen's safety more than anyone else, so how could he just ignore it?

The Ninth Prince knew about the conversation between Dong Ling Zi Luo and Feng Qing Chen at the first time. Dong Ling Zi Luo should be thankful that he was in Xuanyi Valley and Feng Qing Chen rejected him mercilessly, otherwise he would be a corpse now.

The Ninth Prince was willful again. After receiving the report of the destruction of Liancheng, he divided the government affairs between Wang Jinling and Fu Lin: "The situation has been stabilized for the time being. There is nothing serious in Dongling. I have to go out for a while."

Wang Jinling and Fu Lin both knew that the Ninth Prince was going to see the pregnant Feng Qingchen. In addition, the Ninth Prince's injuries were getting better and worse, so he really needed to go to Xuanyi Valley for a check-up. Fu Lin and Wang Jinling had no objections.

Anyway, the biggest things in Dongling right now are Feng Liyou's attack on Nanling and the Ninth Prince's ascension to the throne. The former cannot be done in a month or two, and the latter... Feng Qingchen will not come back, and the Ninth Prince will not hold the coronation ceremony. In order to hold the coronation ceremony as soon as possible, they should let the Ninth Prince go after his wife.

The Ninth Prince did not go alone this time. He brought Feng Jin and Su Wenhang with him. Even the stupid wolf Snow Wolf was taken on the road by the Ninth Prince.

Feng Jin was very happy, waving his hands and feet, blowing bubbles from his mouth, saying that he was going to see his sister, the little emperor...now the eighth prince. He was a good friend of Feng Jin, and after hearing Feng Jin's bragging, he also wanted to go, but unfortunately, he was rejected by his unscrupulous brother, the ninth uncle.

Xiao Ba looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to argue in front of the Ninth Uncle, so he could only stay in the imperial city with his mother and wait for news.

Su Wenhang also rarely smiled. This child hardly smiled since Su Wenqing's accident. The Ninth Prince couldn't do anything about him because he didn't know how to coax a child at all.

With Feng Jin and Su Wenhang around, the Ninth Prince naturally couldn't walk fast. Even though he was extremely anxious, it took him more than ten days on the road before he arrived at Xuanyi Valley.

The Valley Master, Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji were all surprised by the Ninth Prince's arrival. However, seeing the Ninth Prince's icy face, no one dared to ask any more questions. The Valley Master asked the disciples in the valley to settle the Ninth Prince and his group, and then left decisively.

Chi Lianshui and Guo Baoji were also smart men. They took Feng Jin and Su Wenhang away respectively. Even if they were extremely curious, they would not go forward to die at this moment.

Zuo An was more insightful than anyone else. When the Ninth Prince brought Feng Jin and Su Wenhang here, he guessed that something must have happened between the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. Zuo An decisively did not move forward, and at the same time took away the ignorant Sun Sixing and the indifferent Ling Mo to prevent the two from getting into trouble.

It was impossible for Feng Qingchen not to know about such a big thing as the Ninth Prince's coming to Xuanyi Valley. She would not pretend not to know and hide away from the Ninth Prince.

She knew that this day would come sooner or later. It had been more than a month. She had already made the necessary preparations. As for the things that she hadn't prepared for, she would never be ready in her lifetime. Anyway, she would have to see him sooner or later. Why should she avoid him...

After everyone left, Feng Qingchen sat calmly in the house, waiting for the Ninth Uncle to come.

Feng Qingchen didn't have to wait too long. Not long after Sun Sixing left, the Ninth Prince arrived.

Dressed in black, even though she was exhausted, she was still as graceful as when they first met. But this time, Feng Qingchen was no longer obsessed, but mocking...

The two looked at each other. Unlike the complicated self-blame of the Ninth Emperor's uncle, Feng Qingchen was terrifyingly calm. After waiting for a long time, but not waiting for the Ninth Emperor's uncle to speak, Feng Qingchen called out, "Ninth Emperor's uncle."

There was no angry glares or resentment. Feng Qingchen asked very calmly, so calmly that it frightened the Ninth Prince.

"Qingchen." The low and hoarse voice was like a whisper, full of endless affection, but Feng Qingchen seemed not to hear it and pointed to a chair beside him: "Sit down."

The Ninth Prince did not sit down, but walked to Feng Qingchen and slowly squatted beside her. Seeing that Feng Qingchen did not refuse, the Ninth Prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to touch Feng Qingchen's abdomen: "Qingchen, our child... is very good." His words were filled with joy. The Ninth Prince had been looking forward to this child for a long time.

Feng Qingchen did not refuse, but she did not cooperate either. It was as if she could not see the Ninth Prince's actions or hear his words, and she isolated him from the outside world.

"Qingchen, I am here to take you back." The Ninth Prince hugged Feng Qingchen and gently rested his head on Feng Qingchen's belly: "Qingchen, go back with me."

The voice carried a request and anxiety that he himself was not aware of.

Feng Qingchen still didn't say anything. The Ninth Prince thought that Feng Qingchen was still considering it. It was not until drops of warm liquid fell on his face that the Ninth Prince realized that Feng Qingchen was crying.

The Ninth Prince raised his head quickly and saw Feng Qingchen with tears on her face...

Without any sound, without any expression, tears silently slid out of the eyes and flowed down the cheeks.

"Qingchen, don't cry." The Ninth Prince reached out his hand and wiped Feng Qingchen's tears, feeling distressed and blaming himself: "Qingchen, this is the last time. I will never let you get hurt again."

He was scared, he was really scared.

He thought that he would not lose Feng Qingchen; he thought that Feng Qingchen would always be with him. But at this moment, he doubted it.

"There is no future." Feng Qingchen closed his eyes, unwilling to look at the Ninth Uncle now.

"Dong Lingjiu, no, I should call you Lan Jiuqing. Lan Jiuqing, we never had a beginning, so how can there be a future?"

The Ninth Prince was stunned and said anxiously: "Qingchen, I can explain." The Ninth Prince didn't understand how Feng Qingchen knew that he was Lan Jiuqing. Anyone who knew this would not tell Feng Qingchen.

"What do you want to explain? Do you think it's fun to explain that you played tricks on me?" Feng Qingchen opened his eyes with a mocking look on his face. The Ninth Prince panicked, his legs softened, and he knelt on one knee beside Feng Qingchen: "Qingchen, I have never played tricks on you."

He just cared too much that he didn't dare to say it. The later it got, the more he didn't dare to let Feng Qingchen know. However, he didn't expect that he couldn't hide it in the end.

"No? You obviously have a fiancée, so why are you bothering me?" If she knew that the Ninth Prince was Lan Jiuqing and that he had a fiancée, no matter how much she liked the Ninth Prince, she would not cling to him.

Feng Qingchen would never destroy other people's feelings and marriages under the banner of true love. No matter how bad she was, she still had a sense of shame.

"No, I was the one who provoked you. But why, when there were so many opportunities to tell me that you were Lan Jiuqing, why didn't you say it?" Feng Qingchen burst into tears. All her efforts for the past month had been in vain.

She couldn't control her emotions at all. She couldn't help feeling sad and heartbroken.

But Feng Qingchen was upset, and the Ninth Prince was even worse off than her. The Ninth Prince did not expect that Qingchen would know that he was Lan Jiuqing under such circumstances.

He couldn't explain these things at all.

"Qingchen..." Jiuhuangchen wiped Feng Qingchen's tears distressedly, hugged Feng Qingchen, buried his head in Feng Qingchen's neck, and said with three parts of self-blame and three parts of pleading: "Qingchen, everything is over, please forgive me?"

"No..." Feng Qingchen refused forcefully, but the Ninth Prince ignored her and held Feng Qingchen tightly, saying stubbornly: "Qingchen, you can't refuse. You promised me that no matter what happens, you will always be with me, and you also promised to marry me. Now... I want to marry you with Dongling as a betrothal gift. You can't say no!"
