Chapter 580 - 579: Why Does It Taste Different?

Chapter 580: Chapter 579: Why Does It Taste Different?

"Brother Yexuan, are you angry?" Chu Qianli walked up to him.

Her coy demeanor was entirely different from the harsh, even somewhat... venomous voice she had just overheard outside the door.

Feng Yexuan looked at her face.

Only her face could bring him peace.

Yet, he could never find on her that familiar scent that made him yearn for the past.

In the end, where did things go wrong?

"Brother Yexuan?" Chu Qianli stepped half a step closer.

"Lili, this time you’ve returned..."

"Didn’t Brother Yexuan say, if there is a chance, you would take me for a walk up the mountain behind? I remember there is a vast sea of Purple Orchid flowers."

"You call them... Purple Fragrant Orchid?" Feng Yexuan’s eyes darkened.

A flicker crossed the bottom of Chu Qianli’s eyes, then she smiled again, "You said they are called Purple Fragrant Orchid, but of course, I prefer to call them lavender."

Feng Yexuan’s heart, which had tensed up a moment ago, gradually relaxed.

What exactly was he doubting?

"Brother Yexuan, I don’t know what’s wrong, but I can clearly feel your indifference toward me this time," she said.

This time, Chu Qianli did not get any closer to him, instead, she walked over and sat down on a chair to the side, keeping some distance between them.

Indeed, whenever she stayed away, Feng Yexuan’s face and even his gaze would soften considerably.

Even a hint of guilt would emerge.

She can’t be close! She must be aloof!

This was the impression the former Chu Qianli had left on him.

Only then would he be more convinced that she was his Lili.

Thousands of thoughts fluttered through Chu Qianli’s heart, her mood unspeakably complex.

But on the surface, it remained unruffled as ever.

She poured herself a cup of tea, and the ingratiating smile on her face disappeared. When her expression turned cold, that face was indeed Chu Qianli’s.

"Yexuan, I thought that deliberately trying to please you would make our relationship more comfortable, after all, we’ve been through so many hardships."

Feng Yexuan moved his lips as though he wanted to speak but didn’t know what to say.

Chu Qianli continued, "The lavender sea behind the hill hides too many of our secrets. The first time you shamed me was right there among the flowers."

Feng Yexuan’s face flushed with two red clouds in an instant.

This was indeed how his dear woman spoke.

Shame.

Indeed, it was a shame at that time.

"Lili..."

"It’s okay if you’ve forgotten, we can recall the memories bit by bit."

"I haven’t forgotten!" How could he forget their shared memories?

Just now, he truly didn’t know why, but seeing her scolding the maid, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

It always felt like the person in front of him was indescribably strange.

She never used to be like this.

"Yexuan, do you think I’ve changed a lot?"

Chu Qianli looked down, observing the tea in her hand, and her expression was tinged with a hint of loss.

"I am now the Empress of Longteng Country. You can imagine how many people want me dead since I became the Empress."

"I will protect you!"

When they no longer referred to themselves as "this prince" or "I," the atmosphere between the two seemed much more harmonious.

Chu Qianli covertly smiled and said indifferently, "You can protect me, but, I must also protect myself. After all, you cannot stay by my side every hour of the day."

"Lili..."

"I admit, I may have been a bit hasty and nervous just now. I truly thought she was a spy, trying to assassinate me."

Chu Qianli flashed him a smile, soft and seductive, "Let it be, Brother Yexuan. I’ll relax a bit in the future and won’t be so nervous again. I’ve hit your person, so don’t be mad at me, okay?"

Feng Yexuan wanted to say, you are my person.

But seeing the smile at the corner of her lips, he inexplicably couldn’t say it out loud.

He used to resent how falsely and cautiously she smiled at him.

Now, she smiled at him so tenderly and gently, but why does it feel so different?
