Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Can I Cherish It Now?

Prince Yexuan finally woke up!

However, this news was known to only a very few people.

But it was said that he didn’t want to see anyone right now, so even though everyone knew he had woken up, no one dared to disturb him.

Except for Leng Ji, who delivered meals, and Liujin, who brought some medicinal herbs.

For two consecutive days, it was Chu Qianli alone taking care of him in the room.

Two days ago, he was still very weak.

Two days later, he had become assertive enough to revert to his domineering temperament.

"You said the other day that you ’somewhat like’ me. Why only ’somewhat’?"

Feng Yexuan cared a great deal about this question.

But so far, he still hadn’t gotten a clear answer.

Chu Qianli almost rolled her eyes at him.

She had said that without being able to help herself, and had she known it would be so troublesome, she would not have let those words slip out.

This man is something else, taking advantage of the situation and still playing coy, making people damn uncomfortable.

"Dead woman, make yourself clear!" What does it mean to say something halfway?

Chu Qianli glared at him, annoyed. "I never said that, Prince. It was you who were sick and muddled, having auditory hallucinations."

"Nonsense! My hearing isn’t that bad! You clearly said it, that you like me!"

This should be the first time since they had known each other... well, he meant, since he had known this utterly new ’dead woman’ for so long, that he heard her say something nice about him.

But really, it was only half a compliment.

How could he be satisfied?

That Chu Qianli didn’t roll her eyes at him on the spot was already giving him a lot of face.

Since he already knew what she said, why keep asking?

Liking ’somewhat’ is still liking, isn’t it?

Although she didn’t think she had anything to be shy about, but... cough, she was still a bit shy.

Why must she spell it out so clearly?

When had he ever said he liked her?

"Dead woman..."

"Who said they wanted to go out for a walk to relieve the boredom? Are you going or not?"

She had even spent so much money to buy the most comfortable wheelchair!

If it’s not going to be used, then she would just sell it as second-hand on some app and earn back some of the money she spent!

By the way, does her "System" have that app feature?

It doesn’t seem like she has seen it yet?

As Chu Qianli was about to flip through the System to look for hidden features, she found it utterly impossible to focus.

The arm of that damned man was already resting on her shoulder.

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t go. However, I don’t like this thing, take it away!"

After he got down from the bed, he kicked the wheelchair aside with one foot, and immediately half his tall body leaned against Chu Qianli.

Chu Qianli’s legs went weak, and she nearly stumbled to the ground.

"Jerk, you’re so heavy!" She nearly fell to the ground because of him!

But his delicate body couldn’t afford a fall right now.

If he fell, he might faint again.

"It was you who talked about taking me out to get some sun, said it would be good for my body. I am just giving you the opportunity to look after me."

What a nag!

Feng Yexuan said with disdain, "Hurry up and walk."

"Prince, how about you sit on the wheelchair? I can push you."

"Not happy!" Sitting on that so-called wheelchair, how could he be close to her?

Right now, with half his body pressing on hers, the distance between them... mm, he was more satisfied.

However, this ’dead woman’ was too easily overwhelmed.

Just a little pressure, and she was already panting.

Was he that heavy?

If Chu Qianli knew what he was thinking, she would definitely have a field day mocking.

He really was very heavy, heavy as an ox, you know?

Nearly 6’3" tall and all muscle, how could he be lightweight?

"I really... truly can’t hold on much longer, Prince. Can you... can you sit in the wheelchair? I can push... you."

To think of her delicate and petite frame, barely reaching about 5’3". Not even 5’3".

Not being crushed by him instantly was already due to her being exceptionally strong.

"Prince..."

"Once we reach the back garden, I want to get down and walk!" Always sitting in a wheelchair, not happy!

Chu Qianli let out a sigh, though she was somewhat sentimental about her impending "miserable plight."

But for now, evading trouble even for a moment was worth it; she hurried to let him sit in the wheelchair first.

Perhaps once he discovered how comfortable the wheelchair was, he would no longer insist on getting down and walking.

"Alright, fine. Once we get to the back garden, I’ll help you get down and walk, okay?"

Feng Yexuan was still somewhat reluctant.

But if he really flattened her, injured her, that wouldn’t be fun at all.

In the end, he still sat in the wheelchair she rigged up, albeit unwillingly.

The wheelchair was very comfortable, but, instantly, their closeness diminished.

Chu Qianli pushed him out the door.

To prevent the Empress Dowager’s people from discovering the Prince had awakened, Chu Qianli deliberately avoided the direction that could be seen by the gate, quickly passing the corridor and turning into another walkway upon stepping out.

After that, she walked very slowly.

Even her voice was slow when she spoke: "The weather is so nice today, look."

Feng Yexuan replied indifferently: "To the back garden!"

He had said that he could get down and have her help him walk once they got to the back garden.

This corridor did not count as part of the back garden, so he had no interest in any scenery.

But Chu Qianli acted as if she didn’t understand, still moving as slowly as a snail.

While moving at a snail’s pace, she pointed at the flowers and plants around them: "I never realized how beautiful your Wuzhou Garden was before."

"Since when have you cared about my affairs?" Humph!

Chu Qianli really wanted to raise her hand and smack him on the head.

Being coy, are we?

Acting all high and mighty just because you’re a patient?

But, she indeed didn’t dare to smack him.

The patient takes precedence, the injured are paramount.

What if a smack caused him to faint again? What then?

"What if I start caring now, would that be okay?" The sky is high, the earth is wide, but the patient is the biggest; she resolutely refused to argue with him!

"Hmph!"

"..." The world is so wonderful, yet I’m so irritable, that’s not right, not right! Don’t get angry!

"Prince..."

"What are you calling me?" His face looked even more sour than before.

"..." Chu Qianli’s hand itched to smack him again.

Wouldn’t it be nice to knock him unconscious?

Yet in the end, she forced a smile, pulling a reluctant one: "...Yexuan."

"Say it one more time!"

"...!!...Yexuan."

"One more time, I want to hear it."

"Feng Yexuan!"

"I, the Prince..."

"Get lost!"

"..." In the end, the man gripped the arms of the wheelchair, his mood complex, and the sour expression on his face gradually eased: "Call it whatever you want, do you think I care?"

"I won’t call it! I don’t care either!" Really, he’s infuriating! So what if you’re injured?

"I’m not going to the back garden anymore! You want to see the flowers, ask Liujin to accompany you! Excuse me!"

"I was wrong, can’t you see that I admit my mistake?"

In the end, that thundering voice softened: "...I truly am wrong, I care, is that okay?"
