Chapter 137 Xiao Jinxing's Apology_4
"Oh." Lu You responded.
"Stop overthinking and help me change my clothes. I need to move my shin bones around."
"..." Did the Princess scare her to death?!
Lu You quickly helped Ye Qichi get dressed.
And in that moment, she couldn't help saying, "Princess, do you really not look forward to seeing the Prince?"
"I do not."
"Actually, I am also somewhat upset with the Prince for letting the Princess suffer such severe injuries, but then I think, after all, the Prince is the Prince, his status is so lofty. The Princess can live better only if the Prince treats you better, so I still hope that the Princess could get along well with the Prince..."
"If my life didn't depend on Xiao Jinxing, do you think I would still need to ingratiate myself with Xiao Jinxing?" Ye Qichi interrupted Lu You.
Lu You was taken aback.
"That is to say, just between a man and a woman, disregarding status, would you still matchmake me with Xiao Jinxing?"
"Er..." Lu You suddenly didn't know how to answer.
"Don't speak well of Xiao Jinxing anymore," Ye Qichi patted Lu You on the shoulder, "It makes me nauseous."
Does the Prince really disgust the Princess that much?!
But when she thought about the Princess being injured because of the Prince, she suddenly didn't want to stand up for the Prince anymore.
She always felt.
The Princess seemed to live better on her own.
In the end.
How could the Princess be so independent and strong-willed?
Lu You finished helping Ye Qichi get dressed.
Ye Qichi got up from the bed.
She had been lying down for a whole seven days.
Her body had gone soft.
She pondered if this continued, she would become debilitated.
Ye Qichi was very cautious.
Lu You also supported Ye Qichi the whole time.
Ye Qichi stood up.
Her head was a little dizzy.
This was a side effect of lying down for too long.
She steadied herself for a while.
Then with Lu You's support, she walked out from behind the screen.
Once out, she saw Gu Xingchuan.
It gave Ye Qichi quite a shock.
Lu You was also startled.
When she went out to fetch water just now, she hadn't seen young master Gu; how did he appear in just a moment?
She thought that young master Gu wouldn't come today.
"When did you arrive?" Ye Qichi asked.
"For quite a while now," Gu Xingchuan replied.
"Didn't Xiao Jinxing ask you to go back?" She thought he wouldn't come today.
"I told him that I would come today."
"You really have a lot of nerve." She couldn't help but admire Gu Xingchuan for his words last night.
Gu Xingchuan smiled.
His smile was truly like a spring breeze.
He said, "Luckily, I am still alive."
Indeed.
Luckily, Xiao Jinxing didn't kill him in a fit of anger.
"I just overheard your conversation with Lu You," Gu Xingchuan suddenly declared bluntly.
Ye Qichi frowned.
"You must have also heard what I said to the Prince yesterday."
So what?
"If you truly have no affection for the Prince, if you are tired of this life, if you want to roam the world, would you allow me to accompany you to the ends of the earth?" Gu Xingchuan spoke with deliberation.
It's like a confession!
And not subtle at all.
Ye Qichi was a bit stupefied.
She knew about Gu Xingchuan's feelings for her, but she had not thought that Gu Xingchuan would speak them out loud.
She was the Princess now.
He actually dared to cuckold the Prince, wasn't that a capital offense?!
Moreover, weren't ancient people very particular about a woman's chastity?!
She was not a chaste woman.
Every time she thought about being fed aphrodisiacs by the damned Prince as soon as she transmigrated, and losing her virginity upon transmigration, she felt greatly wronged.
She had lived to 25 in the apocalypse without losing her virginity, but it was taken just after she transmigrated.
Forget it.
Ye Qichi didn't want to think about it anymore.
The more she thought, the more angry she got.
At this moment, looking at Gu Xingchuan in front of her, she intended to reject him outright.
Gu Xingchuan suddenly added, "What I mean is, if there ever comes a day."
Meaning, he wasn't forcing her to agree right now.
This statement made Ye Qichi speechless.
"I will always wait for you," Gu Xingchuan said.
Clearly and distinctly.
"And you, don't need to give me any response."
"..." Ye Qichi was again left speechless.
She always felt that Gu Xingchuan was gentle and easy to speak with.
How did he suddenly become so assertive at this moment?
It made her feel a bit overwhelmed.
She pursed her lips, "Suit yourself."
Anyway.
Given enough time, Gu Xingchuan would understand that she isn't just emotionless towards Xiao Jinxing.
She truly has no feelings for any man.
Being alone and roaming the world is her only plan for her transmigrated life.
At that moment, Lu You suddenly felt a kind of strange emotion.
She suddenly wanted to play matchmaker for young master Gu and the Princess.
During the days the Princess was healing, young master Gu's kindness to the Princess was really visible to the naked eye.
Much better than the Prince, whom she hadn't seen at all for seven whole days.
If the Princess really can't get along with the Prince...
She feels that the Princess might be happier with young master Gu.
She decided.
That she won't speak well of the Prince ever again.
The Prince... isn't worth it.
"I'll go for a walk in the courtyard," Ye Qichi said.
She just skipped over Gu Xingchuan's confession.
Gu Xingchuan nodded, "I'll accompany you."
Ye Qichi didn't refuse.
Ye Qichi walked out of the room with Lu You's support.
In the courtyard.
She seemed to see a figure walking away in the distance.
Lu You frowned tightly, "Was that the Prince who just walked out?"
Ye Qichi didn't even bother to look in that direction.
Whether it was Xiao Jinxing or not, it wasn't important.
"Why did the Prince come and then leave?" Lu You wondered.
Ye Qichi let out a cold laugh.
Of course, it was to preserve his own dignity, to avoid making himself lose face.
