"Hehe..." The tears that had been welling up in Bai Yuheng's eyes finally fell. At this moment, he felt only endless ridicule welling up in his heart.
"Gongyang Yuheng, forgive me for being blunt, but I don't think your father truly loves you..." Although the truth was as cruel as a knife, Hua Qingcheng still felt it necessary to tell the man in front of her from the perspective of an outsider.
"Your Highness...what do you mean?" Bai Yuheng looked puzzled.
Hua Qingcheng recalled the love Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun had shown her, and after a moment's thought, she said, "A mother or father who loves their son will plan for him with great care. From the perspective of a mother or father, it is impossible for them to want their son to fall into danger. Although you are the prince of Lengyue Kingdom, you have no chance of competing for the throne or succession.

"Master Bai!" Hua Qingcheng supported the staggering Bai Yuheng, a trace of sympathy and pity in her beautiful eyes.
Bai Yuheng calmed himself down, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil in his heart, but his voice was still filled with undisguised bitterness: "Why? Is it just because Yuheng is a man?"
Hua Qingcheng sighed softly and said slowly: "Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more. You should leave quickly, the farther the better, and never return to Lengyue Country again, let alone... don't stay in Laifeng Country."
After saying that, she let go of Bai Yuheng's arm, turned and left, leaving Bai Yuheng standing there alone, feeling hopeless.
