"Doesn't he still have you?" Chu Qianli looked at Hong Chou, a smile that was neither here nor there on her lips. What was she thinking?
Hong Chou's heart suddenly turned cold.
She was stunned for a moment before saying in a hoarse voice, "There is no possibility between him and me. I know clearly, he only likes you."
"But I am someone else's wife."
"Are you really?" Hong Chou said urgently, "Only he himself knows how many secrets Xuan Wang holds in his heart. Do you think Xuan Wang can give up how much for you?"
"Can he, like Ye Qingying, give up everything for you?"
"What does that have to do with you?" Chu Qianli sneered coldly.
No matter what her relationship with Feng Yexuan was, it was not Ye Qingying's place to interfere.
Moreover, Ye Qingying had once helped Yu Linglong and almost killed her.
Chu Qianli walked past Hong Chou, about to leave.
Hong Chou stared at her indifferent back and sighed silently, "Why do you have to appear so cold and heartless? Are you afraid of giving him hope, only to let him despair in the end?"
"If you truly don't care about Ye Qingying, why would you ask me to steal the prescription for the Gu poison from Yu Linglong? You absolutely cannot be indifferent to his life!"
"But you insist on making him feel that you have no feelings for him, insisting on making him give up! But Chu Qianli, do you truly understand Ye Qingying's feelings for you?"
Chu Qianli ignored her and was already ten steps away.
Hong Chou wanted to chase, but felt that it was pointless.
Under the cold night, only Hong Chou's hoarse voice remained: "He never had any improper thoughts about you, nor does he need you to repay him."
"He only hopes that you can live well. Other than that, he has no other desires. No matter who you are with, as long as you live well, that is his greatest wish!"
"Chu Qianli, please stop treating him with such a cold attitude! He truly wishes he were dead right now!"
Chu Qianli left.
Hong Chou didn't know if Chu Qianli had taken her words to heart.
Perhaps she had, but didn't care, or perhaps... she had other thoughts.
At the end of the empty street, Chu Qianli's slender figure was long gone.
It turned out that Chu Qianli, after regaining her memories, could indeed be this calm, even indifferent!
The legendary cold-hearted and emotionless person was indeed true.
But could her heart truly be as still as water?
Hong Chou did not believe it!
However, she absolutely refused to admit it!
"Ye Qingying?" When she turned back, Hong Chou realized that Ye Qingying was gone.
Hong Chou could only follow the path they had come from.
Both of them had walked far away, without noticing that not far from where they had been standing, someone was perched on a treetop, quietly watching everything.
Until Hong Chou had also completely disappeared, Chu Qianli continued to gaze at the empty street in the clear night.
She actually didn't hate. As she had said, hate was meaningless.
But she also didn't want Ye Qingying to do anything to Yu Linglong for her.
Having been poisoned by Yu Linglong's Gu, seeking out Yu Linglong again was undoubtedly a dead end.
Now, the key still lay with Yu Linglong.
Chu Qianli narrowed her eyes and suddenly left the tree.
Her slender figure did not head towards the Xuan Wang Manor, but instead, swept away in another direction.
It was precisely because of this that when Feng Yexuan returned to the Xuan Wang Manor, Chu Qianli was nowhere to be found!
He turned back, his icy gaze fixed on Ding Chen: "When did you acknowledge her as your master?"
