"I..." You Xi bit his lip tightly, "If I had strength, I wouldn’t need to fear him. I could make so decisions based on my own strength, but as you saw just now, my father is forcing to marry, so I had no choice but to let you cover for for a while."
What You Xi didn’t tell Mu Ruyue was that he said this not to avoid marriage, but to save her life...
After all, he owed Mu Ruyue a favor and couldn’t just watch her be ravaged by the Demon Emperor.
And that man was too strong; she was no match for him. Apart from saying those words, there was no other way...
However, although You Xi didn’t say it, Mu Ruyue could imagine it.
That’s why she didn’t bla You Xi afterwards...
"Since I’m facing him, I’m confident that I can escape this calamity, so you shouldn’t have said those things."
"Human, don’t worry. My father isn’t that stupid. After a while, he’ll see through our lies himself, so my words can only buy us so ti, unless we make it real, but that’s obviously impossible..."
As You Xi was speaking, a familiar aura rushed toward him, making his body shake. He looked up, and upon seeing the girl’s cute doll-like face, his heart was filled with joy.
"Ah Li, why are you here?"
Lady Li bit her lip gently and walked slowly toward the two.
"You Xi, long ti no see. I didn’t expect that after all these years, you’re still the sa as before..."
Her gaze was distant, as if she saw again the young boy wandering through the flower fields years ago.
Unfortunately, things have changed, and they can never go back to the past...
"I ca here to say congratulations."
There was a trace of bitterness in Lady Li’s heart.
Over the years, the Demon Emperor had been very fond of her, and she had beco greedy for the power in her hands. However, the person in her heart had always been the boy from so many years ago...
"Ah Li, I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you before," You Xi said with so guilt, "But I’ve heard that he’s good to you, so I’m relieved..."
Lady Li’s heart ached, and she smiled bitterly, "What does it matter how good he is? No matter what, he’s not you..."
Moreover, in that man’s heart, she was just a plaything...
"Ah Li..."
You Xi was stunned.
Honestly, his relationship with Lady Li was indeed very good; this girl was once his only friend, and he hated himself for not being able to protect her, blaming himself for many years...
However, beyond that, he had no other improper feelings for her.
So back then, Lady Li was entirely an innocent victim...
"You Xi..." Lady Li whispered his na softly, gazing fondly at the handso face of the young man, her pale face carrying a bitter smile, "You’ve grown up, and you’ll eventually marry another woman..."
But she could never let him go...
"Ah Li, why are you..."
"Actually, I just ca to see you," Lady Li discreetly wiped away the tear from the corner of her eye, a smile curling up at her lips, "Well then, I should leave. You Xi, take care."
With those words, she intended to walk past Mu Ruyue, but as she reached her side, she suddenly stepped back a few paces, plopping down onto the ground with a thud...
"Ah Li!"
At this mont, You Xi was staring blankly at the spot where Lady Li had just stood, not noticing this scene.
