Chapter 966 - 965: I Want You to Swear

Chapter 966: Chapter 965: I Want You to Swear

It was past midnight.

Now, it was the wee hours of the morning.

Most people had already gone to bed during this time.

But the lamp in Yexuan’s study was still lit.

As he entered the courtyard and saw the study door from afar, Yexuan hesitated for a moment.

Subconsciously, he wanted to flee from everyone here, from everything here.

If only he could roam the ends of the earth with Lili, how wonderful that would be.

"Prince, the lady is waiting for you," Ding Chen whispered.

Yexuan didn’t respond and walked over.

Before he could knock, the door was already flung open by Nanny Cui.

Hua Rong was sitting quietly on a chair nearby, not even drinking tea, as if resting.

But her face lacked the peace of someone at rest.

Seeing Yexuan enter, anger flickered in her eyes, "For that woman, you dared to provoke Nangong Shuya? You know she’s our enemy, yet you still called her ’Mother’!"

She hadn’t followed him into the palace, but she knew very well that inside, her son had to respectfully address that woman as ’Mother’!

The very words ’Mother’ coming from her son’s mouth made Hua Rong’s heart ache with anger!

Yexuan just looked at her indifferently, without a word.

His calm demeanor only fueled the fire in Hua Rong’s heart, burning fiercer!

"I’m talking to you!"

"Mother, what do you need me to say?" he asked, his tone equally calm.

Hua Rong angrily said, "You and Chu Qianli are still emotionally attached, aren’t you?"

"Lili has already let me go, even if I am still attached, she won’t spare me a second glance."

Yexuan lowered his eyes, and his emotions were thoroughly hidden.

No one could see through what he was thinking, "With this, are you relieved, Mother?"

"What do you mean by that? Are you blaming me for breaking you two apart?"

He didn’t respond, which in Hua Rong’s eyes, was an admission.

Angered, Hua Rong slammed the table and stood up, "How dare you! How dare you hold a grudge against your own mother! Do you even have a place for me in your heart?"

Yexuan kept silent, his stubbornness evident.

This angered Hua Rong even more; it pained her whole body, "Unfilial son, you kneel down!"

Expressionless, Yexuan knelt before her, straight as a rod.

"I want you to never see Chu Qianli again, did you hear me!"

Hua Rong pointed at him, her fingertips trembling excessively from anger.

"You swear to me! From now on, you will never actively seek her out again! From now on, you must completely break ties with her!"

She could clearly feel that Chu Qianli’s place in her son’s heart was about to surpass her own!

Once surpassed, in the future, her son would probably only listen to Chu Qianli and no longer heed her words.

At this moment, her son would listen to her only because of the last bit of pity he held in his heart for her.

Because of everything she had suffered, how wronged, how painful it had been.

Her son was just pitying her!

But such pity would not always outweigh his feelings for Chu Qianli.

As time passed, his heart would lean more and more towards Chu Qianli.

It couldn’t be like this, absolutely not!

She would never allow such a thing to happen!

"Mother wants you to swear! Speak!"

Yet Yexuan kept his eyes fixed on the distance, his lips tightly closed, and remained silent.

Hua Rong knew then, by his silence that he was resisting, but he had already made up his mind.

He simply didn’t want to listen to her!
