Chapter 1520: Chapter 1520: Let’s Reconcile

Chu Qianli didn’t want to dwell on his words.

Some things, if overthought, might just be one’s own wishful thinking?

She had promised not to get emotionally involved, yet his few simple words stirred her calm heart lake.

This really isn’t good, but why can’t she control herself?

Suddenly, her wrist tightened and she looked up to see Feng Yexuan pulling her into his embrace.

"What are you doing..."

"Let’s reconcile."

Some words had been bottled up in his heart for a long, really long time.

Let’s reconcile, stop being at odds, stop doubting each other.

Be together, happily, don’t be so proud, don’t be so pretentious.

"I admit it, I have only you in my heart, I confess."

Chu Qianli’s heart trembled violently, even her slender body was shaking gently.

What did he admit? No one forced him to confess, she didn’t... didn’t need it.

But Feng Yexuan’s words still moistened her eyes a little.

"I won’t be so proud anymore, won’t deny my feelings for you, okay?"

That’s just how his personality is, sometimes even he thinks he’s being too difficult.

Clearly caring deeply, yet saying hurtful things, as if only this way he wouldn’t be hurt.

But that’s truly not his intention.

How could he bear to hurt her?

"Lili, in the past, I kept many things from you, it was my fault."

"I just wanted to handle everything, rid myself of burdens before being completely honest with you."

"But I found, the more dishonest I was, the further you drifted away from me. You seemed... ready to abandon me."

Chu Qianli stayed silent, just quietly listening.

Such words, perhaps for Prince Xuan, took a lifetime’s worth of courage to make clear to her once.

Actually, every word he’s saying now, she cherishes so much, holds onto so strongly, tucks away in the deepest part of her heart!

Feng Yexuan pulled her closer, tighter.

He fell silent as well.

Maybe there were more things he wanted to say, but still felt somewhat uncertain.

Throughout history, being loyal and righteous have often conflicted, to speak would be an affront to his birth mother and to all those who have stood by him through the years.

To remain silent would be an affront to the woman he loves most, an affront to her and himself.

He closed his eyes.

It is unknown how much time passed when the girl in his arms quietly said, "If you find it difficult, you needn’t, truly, I can understand..."

"I am not the emperor’s son."

"..." Chu Qianli’s heart was suddenly struck!

She hadn’t dared imagine it before, even if she suspected, she dared not assume. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

But she never expected, one day, Feng Yexuan would actually tell her.

Told her directly!

Feng Yexuan took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

His arms tightened their hold around her.

Hugged so tightly that even Chu Qianli could almost feel her breath becoming labored.

But he did not let go, and she did not struggle.

"Back then, Feng Bufan was merely the second prince of the former emperor, far less cunning and favored than the Eldest Prince Feng Hongye."

"Feng Hongye was the most trusted by the former emperor among all the princes, not only well-versed in military strategies, but he himself was also a highly skilled general."

"Though the former emperor didn’t bestow the title of War God, all the people of Beiming knew that the Eldest Prince was their War God!"
