Chapter 446: Fanning the flames and sowing discord [3]
"Sometimes, I even hope to die. But every time I see Xuer's innocent smile and hold her warm little hand, I can no longer bear to die!"
Gu Mingle had never said these words to anyone, always thinking that saying them would only make him more painful.
But when I said the words that had been suppressed in my heart for many years, I realized that there was a sense of relief when I said them.
Lou Huoyao was stunned by his miserable childhood and stopped talking. She stood beside him and listened quietly.
"After my father died, Hexiu adopted me. The warmth of his family taught me to see and feel with an open-minded attitude. And because of Xu'er's company, I finally came out of the haze and extremes."
"...Although my father hates He Xiu deeply, I am full of gratitude to him. So when he and the emperor sent me to infiltrate the Chu family, I had no choice but to go!"
"Unfortunately, although I was able to win the favor of Chu Xiong, I was never able to penetrate deep into the interior. I realized that the Chu family was about to take action, so I had to report it to the emperor and send capable people to infiltrate the Chu family. - I think Feng Yelin pointed out That’s it!”
This time Lou Huoyao was really surprised: "So you are a spy? The prince also knows it? No wonder when I begged him to let you go, he said he didn't need to worry about you."
Hearing her talk about begging Feng Yelin for herself, Gu Mingle's gloomy heart finally cleared away, and his raised eyebrows brought back his arrogance: "When did I say I needed his help? Women just love to worry!"
"Gu Mingle, why don't you know good from evil? I'm not afraid of you...I'm afraid of you..."
Gu Mingle stared at her stunned embarrassment, finally smiled, watched her step by step in amusement, and asked, "What are you afraid of me?"
Lou Huoyao's face turned red at the direct look in his eyes, and her heart was beating like a drum. It was hard to say anything, so she abruptly changed the subject and said, "When did the prince know your true identity?"
"Before going to the Chu family!" Gu Mingle gave the answer succinctly.
At the same time, he stood up, faced her face to face, and asked her without letting her escape: "You haven't said anything yet, why are you afraid of me?"
Lou Huoyao was so panicked by his bright eyes that she took a big step back, turned around and wanted to run away.
