Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage
Chapter 1110 - 1109: Why Do You Care So Much About Him?

Chapter 1110: Chapter 1109: Why Do You Care So Much About Him?

Upon hearing this, Chu Qianli’s expression shifted slightly, as an aura of defense instantly surrounded her.

How could she have forgotten this detail?

If the Prince took too great an interest in Uncle Jiu, insisting on seeing him, then she would become the Prince’s best tool to use!

Had Uncle Jiu not considered this point either?

Chu Lingyang was looking at her with a shallow smile at this moment.

Chu Qianli looked back at him, her expression somewhat stern, "I thought the Prince and he were truly comrades in life and death. It seems I was mistaken!"

"Ha!"

Chu Lingyang didn’t get angry or flustered, "Trying to provoke me? I have battled in the fields for so many years, if such provocation worked on me, I’m afraid I would have died countless times."

Chu Qianli didn’t speak, and her fingers, resting on the table, slowly clenched tighter.

"Alright, I was just scaring you, look how frightened you’ve become."

Chu Lingyang laughed heartily, as if this topic was a page already turned in his mind, never to be brought up again.

Just now, though, for an instant, he indeed wanted to use her.

After all, it had been more than a decade since they’d seen each other, and he truly missed that guy.

Thinking he had really died had cast a pall over his years on the battlefield.

All of a sudden, someone tells him that he is still alive.

Who could understand that excitement, that relief, that sensation of regaining what was lost, yet forever intangible?

He truly missed that bastard.

"Not letting the Prince know whether he was dead or alive for over a decade, yet willing to break his own plans for you... who exactly are you to him? A lover? Hmm—too young for that."

Chu Lingyang poured himself another cup, "But the Prince knows, you must be someone very, very important to him, perhaps even more important than his own life."

Chu Qianli still didn’t speak, just coldly stared at him.

Chu Lingyang sighed deeply and said with a smile, "No need to be guarded against the Prince. You’ve been dosed with Soft Bone Powder, you’ve lost all your strength. The only reason you were able to perform Qinggong earlier was thanks to that guy’s peculiar mental method."

"You can’t defeat the Prince, not to mention, inside and out, this courtyard is full of my people. Being on guard against me is pointless."

Hearing this, Chu Qianli’s expression finally eased.

Even her fingers, which had been tightly gripping the corner of the table, relaxed.

What he said made sense.

What good was being on guard? She couldn’t prevent it anyway.

She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Tasting the cuisine of Nanming for the first time, she found the flavors different from those in Beiming, but to her surprise, they suited her very well.

Somewhat sweet, just like the South in the 21st century.

The South... such a distant era.

Back then, she often went to the South to see the sea.

Eating shrimp, crabs, Boston lobsters.

Occasionally, she would try Australian lobster.

But her sister sneered at the cost of Australian lobster, only allowing them to eat those under three jin. Occasionally trying ones that were four or five jin, a bit larger, would cost over a thousand.

Anything bigger, over five jin, and Qiang Xinghe, who acted as the ’family’ treasurer, absolutely refused to let them indulge.

They all knew that their eldest brother’s family was very wealthy.

But the eldest brother didn’t like to go home, and even less, to spend his family’s money.

Their income was the salary given by Wolf Domain, all earned through completing missions at the risk of their lives.

Qiang Xinghe cherished this money, saying that they would use it to start a small business once everyone was over twenty-five years old.

In truth, none of them wanted to stay in Wolf Domain forever.

Because it was too exhausting.

Too exhausting, too dangerous, too bitter.

Who wouldn’t want a simpler, easier life?

Chu Qianli’s gaze returned to Chu Lingyang’s face, "Aren’t you and Uncle Jiu enemies? Why do you care about him so much?"
