Do you like her?
This was a question Feng Yexuan had never considered.
He didn't even understand what feelings were.
Prince Xuan was a simple man. From the age of fourteen, he had followed the army to battle.
After achieving fame in battle, the battlefield became the most important place in his life.
How could a man who had only known war understand romantic love?
As for his feelings for her, he married her because she was Long Qianyue's daughter.
Initially, he detested her. He married her only to repay a debt of gratitude, to take the place of the deceased Long Qianyue and promise her a life of comfort and luxury.
But later, as they spent more time together,
She went to treat the patients in Tuoxi Village, and she risked her life to care for him when he was infected with the plague.
Her straightforwardness, her sharp wit, her intelligence and cunning, her cold mockery…
At some point, these things gradually made him feel less aversion towards her.
Sometimes, he would even be willing to approach her, very, very close.
As for whether he liked her or not, it wasn't that important to Feng Yexuan now.
What was important was that she was already his person, his wife.
And he had decided to treat her well from now on.
Wouldn't it be beautiful for a couple to walk through life hand in hand?
Whether one liked or disliked, loved or not loved, what difference did it make? As long as they were together, wasn't that enough?
"How is it? Your Highness, you don't even know what it feels like to like someone, and you dare to make a promise to me now?"
Seeing his indifferent gaze, devoid of any emotion, Chu Qianli knew that this straightforward man who only knew how to lead troops had no understanding of romantic relationships.
She was a little helpless, "What if, in the future, Your Highness meets a girl you truly like…"
"I will try to like you," he said solemnly.
"How can you try something like this? Like I said, what if in the future you…"
"There will be no such woman! I said that in this life, there will only be you, Chu Qianli!"
He just didn't understand now.
In the future, he would eventually learn how to love a woman.
So, this topic could end here.
There would be no so-called other woman, only her!
Did this woman understand?
Chu Qianli truly didn't understand.
And she didn't want to understand!
Who wanted his promise? This promise was too heavy; she couldn't accept it.
She only wanted a life of freedom and ease.
"If you want to go to the Southern Ming Kingdom to find the Imperial Tutor, after the era of peace, I will accompany you!"
As long as she didn't think about leaving again!
Chu Qianli moved her lips, wanting to persuade him that they were not suitable.
But seeing his stubborn gaze, she knew that no amount of persuasion would work now.
In any case, she couldn't stay in the Prince's mansion forever, living a life of a sheltered noblewoman who never stepped out of her chambers.
However, there was no need to tell him this.
"Let's talk about future matters in the future."
She gently pushed him, trying to pull her hand out of his large palm.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. Shouldn't Your Highness go back to rest?"
Coming to find her so late at night, with a man and a woman alone in the middle of the night, the atmosphere was truly awkward.
Chu Qianli had not forgotten what they had done in the sea of purple fragrant orchids in the back mountain today.
Thinking of it, her face couldn't help but flush slightly.
"Your Highness…"
"Tonight," seeing the suspicious blush on her cheeks, Feng Yexuan's breathing became involuntarily erratic.
It was obvious that he, too, remembered what had happened in the back mountain.
His heart began to beat powerfully.
His voice also became hoarse in an instant, "Tonight, I will stay and accompany you!"
