Seeing her sad expression and aggrieved accusation, Ao Chenye felt as if something was biting her heart, causing pain like tearing.
The pain was yelling at him crazily not to ask about things that made her sad.
The pity and heartache that surged up from nowhere almost tore his soul apart, punishing him for interrogating her with the most severe torture.
The pain came so suddenly, catching him off guard, but it also made him feel a little strange.
He breathed quietly and slowly, secretly regulating his body.
At the same time, he secretly observed Yang Xi's reaction.
He didn't understand why he suddenly seemed suspicious of her. Maybe it was because he had been feeling a feeling that didn't belong to him for no reason recently and was controlling him in his body.
Why did he always become so indecisive when he had conflicts with Yang Xi recently? He actually wanted to follow her in everything and wanted to give up everything to take good care of her.
Such an emotion... is so weird.
Why is it that when he stays alone quietly, the person he thinks about is often not Yang Xi, but...his little cutie...
His little cutie...
In recent days, whenever he thought of this title inadvertently, he always felt like there was a fog in his heart that he couldn't get rid of and was tormenting him.
And such a unclear feeling made him lose his wise judgment.
Now, when he began to suspect that Xing Mo might have done something to Ke'er in the basement, he also felt a sense of self-doubt - could he have been under some kind of curse?
Otherwise, why would his body become so strange to him?
The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Maybe, Xing Mo can attack Ke'er, who has no power to bind a chicken. Likewise... it's also possible that he secretly used some tricks on him? But with Xing Mo's cultivation level, how can he attack him when his soul is out of body?
He is confident that when he is sober and alert, no one in the world can plot against him.
But... what if he is defenseless?
But he couldn't be defenseless against Xing Mo. Could it be... Yang Xi?
However, when he followed the clues and set his target on Yang Xi—chichi!
There was a sudden sound in his heart that was going to shatter his heart.
The severe pain, as if his blood vessels were about to burst, made his mind go blank for a moment.
In an instant, all thoughts were destroyed by the severe pain.
He was almost out of breath from the pain. Looking for support, he clenched the chair handle tightly, resisting the severe pain and almost crushing the chair handle.
This time, he did not let the pain control him, nor did he lose his mind because of such heartache like before. His mind was as clear as if he was separated from his heart.
This mystery...he must figure it out!
Even if...he would be heartbroken by Yang Xi until he died, he would still want to find out the "reason" that made him like this.
He has never understood what love feels like? Is it a weird feeling with no reason like he has now, or is it just because of the "reason" he suspects?
So, he forced his mind to suppress the pain of his body's collapse, and looked at Yang Xi calmly - "Yang Xi, I just said that now I just want to know if you discovered anything when you were so close to Xing Mo, or
, can you tell me what color his eyes were at that time?!"
Ao Chenye's emphatic words contained a hint of severity.
From what Princess Yang Xi heard, it was because she didn't believe her that she persisted... in questioning!
She was sad but couldn't help feeling angry on her own.
She was angry that Bai Ke'er had once again disturbed Brother Ye's heart, and even more angry... Brother Ye still didn't completely take her into his heart after all, and he still had room for Bai Ke'er in his heart.
Why did she love him so hard? In order to love him, she would not hesitate to hurt her second brother who was the closest to her since she was a child. For him, she even chose to make a dirty deal with Ao Chenxiao, the scoundrel that everyone despises. For him
…
Everything is for him!
Why is it that Brother Ye is still so merciful to Bai Ke'er until now, but now he doesn't even listen to her and only knows how to force her to question her.
She didn't believe that Bai Ke'er was really so deeply rooted in Brother Ye's heart!
Princess Yang Xi's heart was filled with a haze of resentment. Her hands hidden in her sleeves tightly squeezed the edge of the table. The resentment in her heart was vented through the power of her ten fingers, and she almost crushed the edge of the table before she gave in.
After secretly gasping for air several times, she finally calmed down the resentment in her heart.
Then, she pursed her red lips coldly and looked at Ao Chenye with resentment.
"Brother Ye, if the appearance of my second brother was really that important to you at that time, for you, I can... think back to that terrible moment, even if I really want to forget the shadow of my almost death. I remember that my second brother, he
... He just kept pinching Miss Ke'er with his hands and wouldn't let go. Miss Ke'er was almost dying and refused to let go. I wanted to persuade him, second brother... he really loves me, I saw the look in his eyes.
He became less fierce, and his eyes were... light green, so I wanted to take this opportunity to pretend to stab him. I originally thought that if I did this, the second brother might protect himself and not bother to deal with him anymore.
If Miss Er takes action, then you can take the opportunity to rescue Miss Ke'er, but I never expected that Miss Ke'er would suddenly take action against me..."
While Princess Yang Xi explained sincerely, her voice trembled and choked when she mentioned the frightened part, which showed that she was still frightened by the scene at that time.
At the same time, she secretly observed Ao Chenye's face to see how he would react to her words.
Compared to her gaze, Ao Chenye also looked directly at her, watching the expression on her face when she spoke.
Because his reason drives him to do this.
Maybe it's because he no longer trusts the woman in front of him that he "should" feel pity for in his heart.
No matter what the reason was, he felt that her words were specious and needed to be verified by himself.
After Princess Yang Xi finished speaking, she could not get any response from him for a long time.
He looked at her quietly like this, with the look in his eyes assessing whether her words were true or false, and she felt her heart bleed with pain.
Sure enough, he didn't believe her. This time, he didn't believe her anymore...
Feeling sad and panicked, she felt that she might completely lose his trust in the near future.
Thinking that she might lose him because of this, the panic in her heart suddenly overflowed.
She was so anxious to keep him that she ignored the resentment in her heart and grabbed his sleeves as if she were afraid of losing him, looking at him pleadingly.
"Brother Ye, you can blame me for not being strong enough, and you can even blame me for not helping you in that critical moment. It's my fault. I didn't share weal and woe with you, but please don't doubt that I feel good about you? I
Really... I have tried my best... Can you believe me, trust me..."
She emphasized again. This time, she looked at him with tears in her eyes, begging for his forgiveness.
Ao Chen lowered his eyes at night and saw that his sleeve was tightly grasped by her slender jade fingers, so tight that even the joints turned white, and he was trembling slightly.
Such prayers and trembling made his heart twist hard.
He frowned, feeling... helpless due to the pain in his heart.
Reason told him that he should continue to pursue the case, because he always felt that she was hiding something from him, no, it was definitely that she and Xing Mo were hiding something from him.
However, the stinging pain in his heart came one after another, as if there was a feeling in his heart telling him - maybe she was just because Xing Mo was her second brother, and he was a man who loved her deeply and was sincere to her.
Brother, that's why she doesn't want to talk about his bad things.
Regarding his uncontrollable heart, he suddenly felt very tired, so tired that his body seemed to be almost empty, and he could not raise any strength.
Thinking that he had let her suffer the ridicule of the courtiers at the engagement banquet tonight, he felt overwhelmingly guilty.
He should think about it calmly and figure out what is the wisest thing to do.
Otherwise, he might really hurt the "people he really cares about"...
Sighing softly, he reached out and held Princess Yang Xi's hand, and little by little, he pulled her hand away from his sleeve.
Then, under her stunned and pleading eyes, he stood up, turned around and walked out.
When he stepped on the threshold, he whispered in a tired voice - "Yang Xi, tonight's engagement... I want to get married directly in three days, and then... I will make it up to you! It's getting late, everything
Don't think about it, just go back and have a good rest tonight. As for the wedding banquet in the main hall, I will take care of it and I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance from the courtiers!"
After saying that, he rubbed his temples feeling uncomfortable, then stepped out of the threshold with heavy steps and left, not wanting to face Yang Xi who would make him confused.
Watching him just leave and disappear at the door...
Princess Yang Xi froze on the spot, the tears of prayer in her eyes gradually subsided, replaced by deep resentment.
He said, don’t think about the engagement party tonight anymore...
Don't want to... How could she not want to? She almost went crazy thinking about this engagement!
And he... just carried it through in such an understatement...
He doesn't care about her feelings, not at all!
In this way, he still didn't believe her words after all. Even though they were the best words she could think of, he didn't believe them. Even though she begged him so hard, he still didn't believe them.
she!
All of this is because of Bai Keer, who is dying but not dead, all because of her!
Because of her, Brother Ye will leave tonight's engagement party. Because of her, Brother Ye will doubt her and her second brother!
Bai Keer...Bai Keer...I hate you! I hate you! I hate you...
Princess Yang Xi was so resentful that her whole body was shaking, and her clenched fists were also shaking.
