Tearing the Prince's Clothes after Withdrawing Marriage Chapter 440 - 439: Do you really not know who I like?

"Fu Long has soone he likes?" This was indeed completely beyond Chu Qianli’s expectations.

This guy, he really kept a deep secret!

However, although they were very good friends, their acquaintance was admittedly not long.

If Fu Long had already fancied a girl, it would be impossible for her to know.

Just that during those days, when Fu Long attended to Long Ziyue every day and took her injuries so seriously, Chu Qianli thought he truly had a special place in his heart for Ziyue.

"Sorry, Fu Long never talked to about this, I really had no idea."

If she had known, she wouldn’t have encouraged Long Ziyue to confess her feelings to Fu Long.

Alas, life is so unpredictable.

"It’s okay, if I don’t make things clear to him, I won’t be able to move on. This has nothing to do with you, it’s my own issue."

Long Ziyue picked up the bottle of wine and took another sip.

There was another bottle beside her, which she picked up and threw to Chu Qianli.

"Ali, keep company for a bit."

"My tolerance is low, I can only drink a little, I still need to take care of Wuya."

"I know, just a few sips will do."

It was evident that Long Ziyue was in a really bad mood.

Chu Qianli had no choice but to risk it all to keep this gentleman company, so she began drinking with her.

After finishing half a bottle of wine, she realized that the alcohol in ancient tis was indeed strong, the kick was too intense!

While drinking, it felt hot and fiery, but her mind was still clear.

Who would have thought that after letting it settle in, once the kick hit, things would start to spin.

She put down the bottle and lay on the ground, looking up at the sky above.

"Actually, when it cos to feelings, having them is nice, but not having them isn’t that big of a deal either."

Long Ziyue had finished her bottle and opened another one for herself.

However, her tolerance was much better than that of Chu Qianli; a bottle or two was practically nothing to her.

Drinking made her feel even more alert.

She imitated Chu Qianli, lying on the grass, looking up at the stars in the sky.

"Right, feelings, n, aren’t really that important, are they?" Long Ziyue said with a smile.

But that smile was still tinged with bitterness.

She said, "It’s just that there’s this suffocating feeling in my chest, it’s uncomfortable, very depressing."

"Ti can dilute everything, it’ll be fine after a while, the next one will be better."

"Do you really think so?" Long Ziyue turned her head to look at her.

This guy, she claid she ca to drink with her, but after just a little bit, she was already starting to look drunk.

Such poor tolerance.

Long Ziyue couldn’t help but ask, "What about you? Between you and Prince Yexuan..."

"He and I have long been cut off, clean and clear, nothing to talk about. Right now, I just want to be with Wuya, heal Wuya, and not think about anything else."

"Are you speaking the truth?" Long Ziyue didn’t believe it.

If it was the truth, why did Ali’s expression beco so entangled whenever Prince Yexuan was ntioned?

Chu Qianli’s first instinct was to nod; it seed like a natural reaction.

It was as though, subconsciously, she wanted to clarify her relationship with Feng Yexuan.

But in this mont, her heart beca calm.

Maybe it was because of the alcohol, but the words seed more willing to co out.

"I don’t know. Sotis when I look at him, my heart aches."

"Ali..."

"I know that there must have been sothing between him and , not to ntion, there’s no reason for all of you to lie to , but..."

Chu Qianli’s gaze towards the night sky began to grow troubled.

"But he’s fine on his own now, and I’m not too bad by myself either. Right now, the one in the worst condition is Wuya."

Long Ziyue’s heart clenched suddenly.

Is this the main reason Ali isn’t willing to face her past with Prince Yexuan?

"Are you afraid that recalling everything between you and Prince Xuan will be unfair to Prince Wu?"

Chu Qianli lowered her eyes, her gaze settling on an indistinct corner before she finally nodded: "Yes."

"Ali, don’t you think it’s rather silly to think like this? What’s more, Prince Wu might not necessarily harbor that kind of affection for you."

She had always seen Feng Wuya treat Ali with nothing but proper manners.

Although he was indeed very caring, there was no hint of flirtation between them.

"Maybe he just sees you as a sister..." Even as Long Ziyue said it, she didn’t believe her own words.

But she didn’t want Ali to give up on Prince Xuan just like that.

For her, Prince Xuan was willing to give up his own life!

She had witnessed with her own eyes how Prince Xuan nearly died for her sake.

Chu Qianli sighed deeply, suppressing all her thoughts at the bottom of her heart, and with a smile, she said, "I’ve said it before, right now all I want to do is cure Wuya. Once Wuya gets better, perhaps many issues will resolve themselves."

Long Ziyue wanted to say sothing,

but upon reflection, she suddenly felt sowhat powerless.

Getting Prince Wu better was Ali’s duty.

If Feng Wuya didn’t survive, whoever Ali ended up with, she would feel a lifeti of guilt and unease.

This matter was truly difficult to handle.

Unless Prince Wu’s illness could be completely cured...

"I am going to see Wuya."

Chu Qianli got up, dusting off the dirt from her own clothes, and, looking down at her, said, "Don’t stay outside by yourself too long. We need to set off early tomorrow, so go back and rest soon."

"Alright." Long Ziyue also stood up.

Thinking about it, n, really, were not that big a deal.

Even though her heart still ached, since Fu Long had soone else in his heart, she blessed him.

One cannot force others into a relationship, after all.

As long as Fu Long could be happy, that was good enough.

The two left the back yard, and Chu Qianli walked to the well to splash so water on her face.

Maybe it was the alcohol, but she felt rather uncoordinated, struggling to draw water from the well.

Suddenly, the water bucket began to rise up the rope on its own, brought directly in front of her.

Chu Qianli widened her eyes in surprise and looked up to find Fu Long standing behind her.

"You even dare to drink?" he said, his tone devoid of any bla.

"I didn’t know the wine in your era had such a strong aftereffect."

She hurriedly cupped water in her hands twice, washing her face clean.

The well water was cold and imdiately lessened the effects of the alcohol.

Chu Qianli wiped her face and turned back to glare at him: "You sly fox, secretly having a girl in your heart and never speaking about her."

Fu Long seed surprised for a mont, his face involuntarily reddening as he took another look at her.

"Nonsense... What are you talking about?"

"Don’t deny it, Ziyue told you have soone in your heart, that you rejected her."

But after saying it, she felt relieved.

She could only sigh, for they were destined but not fated to be together.

"Actually, Ziyue is a really nice girl, cheerful, kind and upright, and also very generous."

Chu Qianli punched his chest lightly: "It’s such a waste that you don’t like her."

Fu Long’s expression turned odd, his clear eyes fixed on her face, still damp from the well water.

"You... Do you hope I end up with the Commandery Princess Pingyue?"

"Of course I hope so!" That would be truly perfect.

"But feelings can’t be forced. If you have soone you like, I can only wish you happiness."

She wiped her face again and turned to leave.

Fu Long watched her sowhat unsteady figure walking away, his hand gradually tightening into a fist, his heart also tensing up.

"Ali, do you really not know who the girl I like is?"
