Chapter 585: Chapter 584: Dead girl, she runs at the sight of him!

Obsession.

Sometimes, it’s inexplicable, indefinable.

You might not even know if your obsession is right or wrong.

When Fu Long could no longer decipher his feelings for Chu Qianli, he preferred to stop overthinking.

To consider it merely a habit, a habit of guardianship.

Although he inexplicably didn’t feel the urge to draw close nor had the impulse to do so, the feelings from the beginning remained fresh in his memory.

That was his current emotion towards Chu Qianli.

No longer wanting to draw close, but still harboring a feeling like having once deeply cared for her, a sentiment he would never forget until death.

Because of this feeling, he felt responsible for her.

He wanted to help her, to make her happy.

It was as if only by securing Ali’s happiness could he fulfill his own mission.

Turning affection into a duty, he didn’t know when this sensation began.

Fu Long didn’t wish to dwell on it, for to him, making Ali happy was the pursuit of his life.

But he never again felt the urge to be together with Chu Qianli... It was a curious thought, even to Fu Long himself, it seemed utterly bizarre.

"No matter what, with Ali back in Beiming, she’s surrounded by enemies everywhere, and her days will undoubtedly be tough."

Fu Long looked at his sister, gently smoothing her furrowed brow, and offered a thin smile.

But his words were earnest, "Don’t say things like ’Ali isn’t Ali’ anymore, don’t ruin her reputation, don’t set obstacles for her, okay?"

Fu Ning met his gaze, wanting to agree but found herself, for some reason, unable to nod.

A very odd feeling.

"Alright, perhaps she was in a bad mood today, which is why she hit you. If you’re not fond of serving her, you don’t have to stay by her side in the future," he said with a smile, which also seemed like a way of convincing himself.

"Once everything is over, after she and Prince Yexuan are married, we won’t interfere with their lives. Big brother and you can stay in Beiming and live our own lives, okay?"

What else could Fu Ning say?

She didn’t want to stress her brother anymore.

She just nodded.

Fu Long gave a few more instructions to take care of herself, then left.

Fu Ning watched his retreating figure, her gaze gradually growing more intense.

If even big brother’s feelings towards Chu Qianli had faded, could it be said that there was nothing wrong with the Chu Qianli before them?

If there was nothing wrong, why had the man who once deeply loved her now only retained a sense of duty?

Ali... what exactly went wrong?

She really didn’t seem like the real Ali!

...

The person with a bad mood today wasn’t just Chu Qianli.

When Prince Yexuan returned, everyone could clearly see his poor complexion.

Was his unfavorable experience due to the outing with the Empress?

The servants dared not breathe too loudly, nor did they dare to look directly at him, only sneaking peeks.

Fearing that they might upset the Prince.

Since Chu Qianli’s return, the Prince seemed to have been unhappy all along...

Xiaoyao noticed at first glance that Prince Yexuan was very displeased.

So, upon seeing him, she immediately turned around, attempting to flee swiftly.

Feng Yexuan’s face turned green with anger.

Was this wretched girl deliberately provoking him?

To run upon seeing him?

Xiaoyao had only taken a few steps when she suddenly felt a chilly wind at her back.

The back of her collar was gripped in an instant, and she was lifted off her feet by him.

"Ugh... let go!"

Her neck constricted, it was extremely uncomfortable.

This despicable man! Bastard!

Feng Yexuan carried her into the room.

Xiaoyao was thrown to the floor, and the door slammed shut with a sweep of his palm.

Xiaoyao scrambled up from the ground, somewhat disheveled, and glared at his expressionless face: "You... Prince, what are you going to do now?"
