Qin Xiao had to overcome numerous obstacles to visit Feng Ye Xuan and finally reached his bedside.
"With such a commotion outside, why doesn't Jin Rui come out to see? Where is he?"
The Xuan Wang Mansion looked the same at first glance, but for some reason, it felt very different tonight.
The surrounding environment was the same, yet the atmosphere was worlds apart.
It had only been a short while since his last visit, but it felt like an eternity.
"Ye Xuan, have you been hiding many things from me?" Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask.
Feng Ye Xuan glanced at him indifferently, not addressing the question.
His usual quiet demeanor, coupled with arrogance.
Qin Xiao was long accustomed to it; he was always the one to initiate conversation when they were together.
But Qin Xiao also appeared to be preoccupied today.
"I heard that A Li has been confined in Yuhua Palace, and no one knows the situation there. I requested to see A Li, but was stopped by Young Master Hao."
He kept staring at Feng Ye Xuan's face, hoping to catch a hint of emotion.
However, his increasingly cold and indifferent handsome face showed no reaction at all.
Beneath his eyes, there was no ripple.
Hearing Qin Xiao mention Chu Qian Li's name, Feng Ye Xuan didn't even lift his eyelids, as if those three words had nothing to do with him.
Qin Xiao truly didn't understand: "Are you and A Li really over?"
Feng Ye Xuan still didn't speak, merely giving him a casual glance.
It was as if he was just listening to Qin Xiao talk, passing the time, as he always did.
Qin Xiao couldn't hold back: "Ye Xuan, I don't believe you have no feelings for A Li at all! Aren't you worried that A Li will suffer at Chu Ming Hao's hands?"
"Also, I heard that Chu Fei Yan resents A Li greatly. A Li is being held captive by the siblings, and she must be wronged. Perhaps Chu Fei Yan will harm A Li in secret."
Although the selection ceremony had passed several months, for Qin Xiao, it felt like only yesterday.
After all, his leg had been healed by Chu Qian Li just before the selection ceremony.
"Have you forgotten? During the selection ceremony, Chu Fei Yan suffered a lot under A Li's hands. Although she brought it upon herself, she doesn't see it that way."
The County Princess Fei Yan, who had been pampered since childhood, if she harbored resentment, would certainly not let Chu Qian Li have an easy time in Yuhua Palace.
She would definitely make a move against A Li.
Did Feng Ye Xuan truly not care at all?
What if Chu Fei Yan, in her ruthlessness, decided to poison A Li? That could be a matter of life and death.
Would he really do nothing?
"Feng Ye Xuan, are you even listening to me?"
Feng Ye Xuan was still leisurely reading a book, leaning against the headboard of the bed with a languid air.
Although he was recuperating, the former Xuan Wang, even if severely injured, would crawl down if it concerned Chu Qian Li.
What was going on now?
Seeing that he still didn't react, Qin Xiao almost shouted: "Feng Ye Xuan, your woman is in Yuhua Palace and her life is in danger at any moment, do you hear me?"
Feng Ye Xuan's gaze finally fell back on his face.
He closed his book and said slowly, "Aren't you supposed to be going to the border town? Why are you still babbling here?"
Qin Xiao was stunned, not quite comprehending.
"I, we are talking about... A Li's situation."
Feng Ye Xuan's eyes darkened, and he said coldly, "She is no longer my woman. Why should I care about her affairs?"
