CHAPTER 1405: CHAPTER 1404: NO ONE WILL WAIT FOR YOU IN PLACE

Did Chu Qianli ever have feelings for Feng Qihe?

This is something Feng Yexuan never considered.

Even though Chu Qianli had once, with Feng Qihe, hurt him, to him, it was just a matter between him and the dead woman.

He truly didn’t expect that a third person would intrude into their relationship.

He thought love was simply an affair between two people!

"Prince Yexuan, you always think that after you’ve settled your matters, and turn back to find that person, they will still be waiting for you in the same place."

Chu Qianli didn’t look at him, unwilling to see the anguish in his eyes at that moment.

But she had to tell him this principle: "But one day, you might think you’ve handled everything, and when you look back, you may find that person has long since left."

"She also has her own matters to handle, her own pursuits, her own future."

Finally, she set down the cup, raised her eyes to meet his pained gaze: "No one will wait unconditionally, without regret, in the same place; you won’t, and neither will I."

...

Feng Yexuan left, and Feng Qihe too departed with a somewhat pleasant mood after Chu Qianli said she would consider his request.

After everyone had left, Chu Qianli couldn’t hold back her blood’s surge and coughed lightly a few times.

Almost spat blood.

"Injured like this, and still pretending to be fine in front of Prince He?" Chu Jiangnan felt somewhat worried, "Come..."

"No need! Father Emperor, I’m fine."

But after saying this, Chu Qianli was a bit stunned, raising her head to look at him.

Right now, Chu Jiangnan still didn’t know her true identity. To everyone, including Chu Jiangnan, she was just a fake princess.

Did she call "Father Emperor" too smoothly, perhaps?

How would the Emperor view this? Would he think she was occupying the magpie’s nest, coveting vanity, or clinging to the princess’s identity?

But Chu Jiangnan’s eyes showed only concern, without any extra sentiments.

"Your Majesty..."

"Just now, that ’Father Emperor’ came out quite naturally, didn’t it? Why change it now?" Chu Jiangnan frowned, clearly a bit disapproving.

"There’s no one else here now." Chu Qianli said softly.

Chu Jiangnan shook his head: "I’ve gotten used to hearing you call me ’Father Emperor’. If you call me Your Majesty, it doesn’t sit well with me."

Chu Qianli stared at him blankly.

Chu Jiangnan smiled warmly: "Actually, I quite like hearing you call me ’Father Emperor’. If you don’t mind, you will be my daughter from now on."

In Chu Qianli’s heart, mixed emotions stirred.

His daughter.

Chu Qianli naturally understood what that meant.

It was just an adoptive daughter, not a biological one.

"Father Emperor, actually I..." Should she reveal her secret to him too?

"What? Do you have something to say to me?"

Seeing her hesitant, Chu Jiangnan smiled and said: "It’s alright, in front of your father, you can say anything; I will pardon you."

Chu Qianli hesitated for quite a while, and finally shook her head.

There was still one thing that needed to be dealt with first.

After this thing was resolved and everything settled, she would formally acknowledge him.

However, Chu Jiangnan was still thinking about Feng Qihe’s proposal from a moment ago.

"Little Lili, be honest with me, do you still have feelings for Prince He?"

Even though Feng Yexuan is his disciple, Little Lili’s marriage is more important based on her happiness.

As he said, her choice is what matters the most.
