The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day

Xiao Jinxing stared intensely at Ye Qichi.

He didn't want to talk to her any more than necessary.

He was convinced that Ye Qichi was purposely acting out of spite.

It always seemed that lately, he had been angering her more often.

That was why Ye Qichi was saying things she didn't mean.

In fact, calling her today was to tell her that although he did not like her, he wouldn't defy the Emperor's decree. He intended to make amends for the hurt she had endured lately, to thank her for saving his life multiple times, and from now on, he would treat her well.

He certainly wouldn't consider divorcing her again.

Even if he was no longer the Prince.

Therefore, he would try to balance the relationship between Ye Qichi and Bai Mowan.

He admitted that he couldn't bear to hurt Bai Mowan either.

If Bai Mowan still wanted to be with him, he would not refuse, but if Bai Mowan really cared about Ye Qichi's presence… he could only disappoint Bai Mowan.

Anyway.

He would not divorce Ye Qichi.

Even if it was just out of responsibility.

Even if it was just out of gratitude towards her.

He would try his best to treat Ye Qichi well.

However.

Ye Qichi's current attitude made him start to doubt whether he was just deluding himself.

Whether Ye Qichi truly didn't like him.

Everything she did, as she said herself, she had no choice but to stand with him, so she had to cooperate with him and rely on him to protect herself!

His face looked somewhat unpleasant.

His guilt towards Ye Qichi during this period made him quite conflicted.

He wanted to treat Ye Qichi better, yet he feared hurting Bai Mowan.

He had never thought that one day, he would be caught between two women.

Having seen too much vicious rivalry among the concubines in the Imperial Palace, where they would stop at nothing to win favor, and having witnessed his mother falling victim to plots out of jealousy, he had always thought to be loyal to one woman for life and never to like a second woman, even if he had to have thousands of beauties in his harem; they would mean nothing to him.

Yet, before he had accomplished great deeds, he was already entangled with two women.

"Is it Gu Xingchuan?" Xiao Jinxing asked coldly.

He couldn't think of anyone else.

But he didn't believe that Ye Qichi liked Gu Xingchuan.

Gu Xingchuan liked Ye Qichi, he was well aware, but Ye Qichi would not like Gu Xingchuan; if she did, she wouldn't reject Gu Xingchuan's confession.

So at this moment, when Ye Qichi said she had someone she liked, to Xiao Jinxing, it sounded more like spiteful words.

Although he had a moment of doubt, after calming down, he still thought it unlikely.

Unlikely that Ye Qichi would fall for someone else.

"It's not Gu Xingchuan." Ye Qichi replied.

Xiao Jinxing's eyes tightened.

If Ye Qichi's answer was yes, he would have assumed that Ye Qichi was lying, just being spiteful against him again.

But she said no...

Shouldn't Gu Xingchuan be her best shield?!

"His name is Fu Xingyi."

A name that had disappeared for so many years, now once again spoken from Ye Qichi's lips.

At the moment she said it, it felt as though her chest was in pain.

All in pain.

As if cut by a Sword.

She dared not think about him.

Not for a second, fearing she would collapse.

Yet now, to tell the Prince that she had no feelings for him, she ripped open the wound she had barely stitched together, bloodily torn open once again.

"Who?!" Xiao Jinxing obviously had never heard this name.

"You wouldn't know him," Ye Qichi murmured.

No one here would know him.

He isn't in this world.

He's not even in any world anymore.

After all, he's been dead for years.

Ye Qichi, what lies are you fabricating now?" Xiao Jinxing said grimly.

Upon hearing an utterly unfamiliar name, it inexplicably enraged him.

It's unknown whether he was angry that Ye Qichi was deceiving him with a non-existent person, or if it was… jealousy!

A bit jealous.

That there really might be a person whom Ye Qichi liked.

And this person was really not him.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you," Ye Qichi didn't want to explain anymore.

Anyway, as far as they were concerned, this person simply didn't exist, and given Xiao Jinxing's level of trust in her, she couldn't make Fu Xingyi appear before him; nothing she said would matter.

"But the fact that I don't like you is real," Ye Qichi still didn't give up, bluntly telling Xiao Jinxing that she really didn't like him.

Just stop deluding yourself.

Xiao Jinxing's expression darkened further.

"Ye Qichi, I advise you to be honest, otherwise I can really, let you down! You know very well, the Emperor bestowed the title of Princess, not something else," Xiao Jinxing was both reminding and threatening.
