Chapter 828: Chapter 827: I Can Also Face It with You

Chu Qianli’s body stiffened.

Despite their close relationship, why was it that now when they lay together, they didn’t even know how to start a conversation?

The man behind her suddenly tightened his arm, twisting her around so she could no longer avoid his gaze.

"Having recovered your memory, you still have nothing to say to me?"

Chu Qianli’s lips slightly moved.

She had not told him about regaining her memory, yet he knew.

It was all discernable from one look in his eyes.

This man always had some understanding of her.

"What should I say?" Chu Qianli wasn’t trying to evade, but at this moment, speaking seemed somewhat superfluous.

She had thought that after all they had been through, they could be completely honest with each other.

Yet unexpectedly, the appearance of Hua Rong completely changed everything!

"Lili..."

"I don’t want to pry into your secrets, nor make things difficult for you, but I can’t help but take it to heart."

People always said she was heartless, but how could that be possible?

"I have met her, had interactions, even conflicts. What if one day, she insists on killing me?"

This made Yexuan’s eyes darken.

"Can you then, not let yourself get to that point?"

"What if she wants to harm my friends?" Some things could be compromised, but this, never!

"Unless necessary, she wouldn’t..."

"Do you really understand your mother?"

Chu Qianli didn’t want to argue with him, nor speak ill of her future mother-in-law in front of her future husband.

Though now, she wasn’t even sure they could still go through with the wedding smoothly.

With her face like this, having a smooth wedding wouldn’t be easy.

Yexuan didn’t say anything.

Separated for over a decade, even a mother and son might not fully understand each other.

Her concerns were valid.

He no longer understood his mother.

Especially since when his mother "passed away," he was just a child.

What could he understand about a mother who had left him for so many years?

"Yexuan." Chu Qianli softly called.

Yexuan’s hand, holding hers, suddenly tightened.

How long had it been since she had softly called him like this?

This call, after she had regained her memory, seemed especially precious.

Yexuan’s heart tore with each moment, but until now, he didn’t know what was tearing him apart.

Why couldn’t they simply be together?

"We..."

"Don’t make promises you can’t keep; you are a man of your word, Prince Yexuan." Chu Qianli said softly.

Yexuan squeezed his eyes shut and, in the end, said nothing, just held her tightly in his arms.

"Fu Long will soon arrive at Imperial City, and Wu Chenzi is also on his way. Once your face heals, Fu Long will arrange for you to join with Longteng’s forces."

"You will soon be able to reclaim your identity."

Chu Qianli just quietly listened to him, not interrupting.

Her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

Even though he still had many secrets, even though there were many things he had to do without telling her,

One thing had never changed—he had always been planning for her.

Even without knowing whether she was still alive or if he’d ever see her again, he had been paving the way for her.

All just to have her come back and reap the rewards.

This man, he always had a place for her in his heart.

Chu Qianli closed her eyes, feeling the heat and pressure of the man as he moved on top of her.

Her hands, with nowhere to rest, eventually found his neck.

"There is a way, Yexuan."

Her heart trembled slightly.

This was the boldest invitation: "As long as you are willing to be honest with me, I can face anything with you, no matter the hardship."
