Due to Feng Chugeâs appearance, Helian Jinyu was momentarily dazed.
However, it only lasted for an instant before he recovered his senses.
When he recalled that Feng Chuge was merely a wastrel, his eyes were once again filled with disdain.
âHow has Wanâer ever offended you for you to harm her as such?â
Feng Chuge raised her brows. âHm? Nobody has mentioned our past to you?â
âWanâer got injured the moment you returned, so who else could be responsible but you!?â Helian Jinyu looked at Feng Chuge with an expression of hatred. âI am indeed in love with Wanâer, but even without her, I will never marry youâ¦â
Feng Chuge nodded while she listened to him.
Wait a minuteâ¦
She suddenly realized something.
Could this man be under the impression that she wanted to get married to him after taking Feng Qingwan out of the equation?
Feng Chugeâs lips could not help but twitch.
Where did he get his confidence from, to be under such an impression?
Should she tell him honestly that even until now, she did not know of his name?
âFeng Chuge, youâ¦â Helian Jinyu wanted to continue talking, but Feng Chuge finally could not tolerate it anymore as she spoke up.
âSay⦠Your Excellency. My apologies, but who are you?â
In that instant, Helian Jinyuâs complexion turned ashen.
On the side, Zilan and the others suppressed their laughter.
âFeng Chuge, stop playing dumb!â Helian Jinyu angrily roared.
Feng Chuge scrunched her brow and said, âI really donât know who you are. I only know youâre a prince, but I donât know which prince you are.â
For a moment, Helian Jinyu felt somewhat defeated. All of a sudden, he recalled something and sneered. âFeng Chuge, donât think that you can arouse my attention with such a method. Iâll tell you, itâs useless. I will never marry a wastrel like you!â
Feng Chuge honestly felt helpless.
Suddenly, her line of sight swept across Ah Chen who was standing by the door.
She turned around and pulled him from behind the doors.
âDear Prince, you can rest assured. Even if I were to marry him, Iâd never marry you. Stop worrying about these useless things. Be careful of shortening your lifespan due to excessive worrying.â
Her words made her intentions extremely clear.
There was a big change in Helian Jinyuâs expression.
He looked at Feng Chuge in surprise.
She doesnât recognize me?
How is that possible?
They used to play together when they were children. Logically speaking, Feng Chuge was his cousin. His mother and her aunt, Princess Jiande, had arranged their marriage while they were children.
Feng Chuge was indeed adorable as a kid, but after Princess Jiandeâs death, she became increasingly weak. Even until the age of ten, she could not gather spiritual force, and alas, she had been driven out by the Feng Family.
Towards her plight, Helian Jinyu merely felt sorry for herâ¦
Feng Chuge turned sixteen this year, a marriageable age. It was also the year where their mothers had agreed for them to get married.
Therefore, after he heard the news of Feng Chugeâs return along with Feng Qingwanâs injury, Helian Jinyu drew the connections all at once.
However, he never expected that she wouldnât even remember who he wasâ¦
For a moment, Helian Jinyu felt somewhat lost in the depths of his heart.
Without care of Helian Jinyuâs mentality, Feng Chuge merely said with indifference, âDear Prince, it seems like youâre here on Feng Qingwanâs behalf. Do you honestly believe⦠that a wastrel like me could harm her?â
