Chapter 255: True Feelings and False Intentions
Chu Wanxiang's nose was red, and tears rolled down: "Fool, where am I willing to abandon you......
She is not a hypocritical person, but at this moment, she couldn't help crying.
Chu Mohan gently wiped away her tears, held her face, and kissed her: "Don't cry, as soon as you cry, I will be even more uncomfortable."
Chu Wanxiang wiped away her tears, burst into tears and smiled.
"You haven't eaten yet, so let's eat first."
Chu Mohan nodded.
The two finished their meal together and lay on the bed and chatted.
"Today I competed with Shen Yunfei in archery and won." Chu Wanxiang leaned on him and said.
"I see it."
Chu Wanxiang looked at him sideways: "You lost to me."
"There's nothing to be ashamed of losing to the lady." Chu Mohan smiled faintly.
Chu Wanxiang burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and poked his chest: "Call a husband to listen."
"Evening Xiang." Chu Mohan stared at her with a smile.
"Scream again."
"Evening Xiang." Chu Mohan called again as he said, and added, "Madam."
Chu Wanxiang snorted and sneered, punched him in the chest in disgust, and changed the topic: "By the way, I met someone today."
Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows: "Oh?"
"He claims to be your friend and says his name is Su Jinfeng."
"Su Jinfeng?" Chu Mohan frowned.
Chu Wanxiang asked, "Have you met before?"
"I don't know."
"Don't you know him? He looks like he's familiar with you." Chu Wanxiang was suspicious.
"I really don't know him." Chu Mohan shook his head.
"Then why did he say your name?"
"I don't know. Perhaps......" Chu Mohan hesitated, "He knows about my existence?"
"There's no way he knows you." Chu Wanxiang denied, "You have never met, you are the proton of the Chu State, he can't know."
Chu Mohan thought for a long time and said, "Why don't you check who he is for me?"
"Okay."
"You've just come back, so get some rest. I'm going to see the kids." Chu Wanxiang got up.
Chu Mohan grabbed her: "No, sleep with me."
Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and then retorted: "Nonsense, the child hasn't slept yet."
"Let the nurse take care of the baby, and we will sleep." He put his arms around Chu Wanxiang's waist, "Let's have a good talk tonight."
Chu Wanxiang couldn't break free, and sighed: "Okay, sleep."
"Good." Chu Mohan kissed her on the cheek and led her to the inner room, "Let's sleep in separate rooms?"
"Why?"
"Because I'm worried that I won't be able to control myself and hurt you."...
Chu Wanxiang's face turned red and glared at him fiercely, but she did not object.
In the dead of night, there was silence in the dormitory, except for insects and frogs.
Chu Mohan looked at the top of the tent with his eyes open, feeling uneasy.
He has always been a rational person, but every time he meets Chu Wanxiang, he becomes extremely impulsive. He always couldn't restrain his longing for her, wanted to take her into his arms, hated to occupy her immediately, and not give any pretender a chance. The more anxious he was, the more restrained he became, so he had been patient, waiting for an opportune moment, and he didn't want her to be the slightest bit unpleasant.
But now......
He suddenly felt that it might be good if they could be together forever. He thought about it for many years, and finally waited for this day, and he was unwilling to give up.
"Wanxiang......" he muttered.
Chu Wanxiang closed her eyes and did not react.
He had a dry throat and wanted to drink water. He raised his body slightly and approached Chu Wanxiang's neck.
Chu Wanxiang woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, and just happened to crash into a pair of dark eyes.
Looking at each other, Chu Mohan blinked slowly, his Adam's apple sliding, as if he was holding back something.
Chu Wanxiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly pushed him away: "Don't move."
Chu Mohan was extremely distressed, and asked in a dumb voice, "Wanxiang, why don't you ...... Huh?"
Chu Wanxiang turned her back to him: "You don't understand ......."
"I really don't understand." Chu Mohan hugged her aggrievedly, "I want you, Wan Xiang, I seem to be about to lose control."
Chu Wanxiang was silent.
Chu Mohan said again, "I know I shouldn't be persecuting you, but I can't control it......" He held her hand and pressed it to his chest, "This heart is beating hard, it's so uncomfortable, I miss you so much."
Chu Wanxiang pursed her lips and smiled.
"Evening Xiang." Chu Mohan said softly, "Don't you love me?"
Chu Wanxiang hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded.
Chu Mohan lowered his eyes, and his thick curly eyelashes covered the luster at the bottom of his eyes: "Wanxiang, I know you love me." He raised his hand to caress her face, "I love you too, I can't live without you. Wanxiang, I can't promise that I will love you for the rest of my life, but I will definitely not fail you. I want to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you, please give me a chance."
Chu Wanxiang's eyes were sour and swollen, she bit her lip to suppress the emotions surging in her heart, and whispered, "I know."
His gentle fingertips ran across her face and imprinted a soft kiss on her forehead: "You're tired, sleep."
Chu Wanxiang lay down on the bed, but she couldn't sleep.
Hasn't he already decided to give up on her? Why would you say that to her?
Is it to coax her, or is it ...... Another reason?
Chu Mohan's words made her flustered. She didn't like this feeling, whether he was true or not, she didn't want to accept it, she wanted to run away from him, but she didn't have the courage. She couldn't even tell herself that he had forgotten her, otherwise how would they be where they are today? There are thousands of mountains and rivers between them, how can she cross it?
She covered her face in pain.
She used to live so hard, trying her best to stand by his side, but now, she can't even protect herself, so why should she ask him?
They are destined to be enemies!
Chu Wanxiang didn't fall asleep all night, and got up late the next day.
Chu Mohan was no longer beside her, she was dressed properly, sat at the table to freshen up, and the maid brought breakfast over, respectfully.
Chu Wanxiang finished breakfast and went out for a walk.
Yesterday she heard that there was a temple outside the city that was full of incense, and she wanted to go and worship it.
She rode in a horse-drawn carriage to a small temple on the outskirts of the city and got out of the carriage and entered the temple.
The temple was empty, and there were not even a single guest. Chu Wanxiang walked around a few times, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.
She paused, stared for a moment, and then slowly walked towards the figure.
"Brother Chu." She called him.
Chu Mohan stopped his steps and turned around.
The two looked at each other three feet apart. Chu Mohan's eyes were surprised, and his brows furrowed.
"You ......"
Chu Wanxiang smiled faintly: "Don't come unharmed."
"I thought it was an illusion, but you actually came to me." Chu Mohan's tone was flat and detached.
"There's something I'd like to talk to you about." Chu Wanxiang said.
Chu Mohan bowed: "Then find a place to sit."
Chu Wanxiang nodded.
There was a restaurant near the temple, and the two walked in to ask for a private room, and when they ordered, Chu Mohan suddenly said, "You have lost weight."
Chu Wanxiang looked down and said indifferently, "I've eaten less recently and gained some weight."
"Eat more, the meat will look good." Chu Mohan said.
Chu Wanxiang was noncommittal.
"You must have come to me for the sake of the envoys of Sijon." Chu Mohan got straight to the point, "Although you don't recognize that you are the prince of Xirong, I know that you are from Xirong."
Chu Wanxiang was surprised and said, "You actually know?"
"Guess."
