Chapter 415: Always the Same
"I believe that your vision is not so bad."
Besides, the last time he came to see her, he hadn't heard that she had anyone she liked. How could it be that in just less than a month...
Ruan Xihe said: "Your Excellency Emperor, haven't you heard that love can blind people's eyes?"
Fu Ling shook his head slightly.
I don't know whether he was answering Ruan Xihe's question, telling her that he had never heard of it, or expressing his disagreement with Ruan Xihe's answer.
"Lord Emperor, do you have anything else to do? If not, I really need to go to bed. After all, I have 'business' to do tomorrow."
She emphasized the word "business" particularly strongly.
"You can't go with him." Fu Ling raised his eyes, his dark eyes were deep, as if he wanted to trap her.
He looked her straight in the eyes and spoke in a tone that brooked no rejection.
Ruan Xihe crossed his arms and curled his lips, "Why?"
“I…”
Fu Ling frowned and wanted to say something, but he really couldn't open his mouth and the words were stuck in his throat.
His heartbeat quickened for a moment.
The sound of the chest beating can be clearly heard in the silent night.
Some words are about to come out.
Ruan Xihe curved the corners of his lips slightly, took a step forward, and shortened the distance between them.
She looked up at him, her delicate and beautiful face showing a serious expression mixed with a hint of feigned confusion.
"Fu Ling."
"Ok?"
"We are not fighting at this moment, why is your heartbeat still so fast? Could it be..."
Ruan Xihe stretched out his words, not missing any of Fu Ling's expressions, "Do you like me?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling took a step back instantly.
He didn't know how to answer for a moment, "I, I..."
Ruan Xihe had a sly smile on her lips as she looked at Fu Ling with a half-smile, as if his reaction was within her expectations.
"You're not really convinced by what I said, are you?"
"If you like me, I can consider not going to play with Huayu tomorrow."
“I…”
Fu Ling was restless and looked a little flustered.
But the next moment, he restrained his expression and returned to his usual cold and indifferent appearance, burying the emotions that could not be expressed in words deep in his heart.
"Don't let your imagination run wild. I just think you don't understand him and I'm afraid you'll be deceived by him." He swallowed and changed the subject. "Hua Yu is a man who indulges in prostitution and is not worthy of being the one you like."
"Oh."
Ruan Xihe was so angry that he laughed.
"I didn't expect that Lord Emperor would like to gossip about others behind their backs."
She was angry.
Is she angry because he said something bad about Huayu?
Fu Ling opened his lips slightly, wanting to explain something, but he didn't know where to start or how to explain.
Ruan Xihe continued, "Thank you, Lord Emperor, for reminding me. However, I know Huayu has his own difficulties in this matter, and I understand."
"Lord Emperor, do you have anything else to say?"
"If there's nothing else, I won't send you off."
Fu Ling was silent.
He still looked cold on the outside, but he was extremely upset in his heart. Two different thoughts were now intertwined in his mind.
On the other hand, he wanted to tell Ruan Xihe his true feelings and didn't want her to misunderstand.
But he was afraid that she would refuse, and then even their daily meetings would become awkward.
On the other hand, he didn't want to tell her.
But he was afraid that she would fall in love with someone else. For example, today, he didn't even have the position or status to persuade her not to go out with him.
"Then I'll go to sleep." Seeing that Fu Ling didn't say anything, Ruan Xihe wanted to close the door.
"and many more!"
Just as the door was about to close, Fu Ling's bony fingers pressed against the door, leaving a gap.
through the gap.
Eyes facing each other.
Fu Ling stared at her with his dark eyes.
His eyes were like the reflection of frost and snow, serious yet inexplicably burning.
"Zhao Er..."
"What?" His voice was a little soft and Ruan Xihe didn't hear clearly what he said.
"Nothing, I just want to tell you, I..."
Fu Ling spoke slowly, staring at Ruan Xihe without blinking, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his mind.
Although his tone was still cold, one could faintly hear an imperceptible tremor in it, and one could feel that his heart was extremely restless at the moment.
"I am better looking than him, more talented than him, richer than him, more powerful than him, and have fewer hardships than him. Overall, I am better than him in every aspect."
After these words were spoken, Ruan Xihe inexplicably became a little nervous.
She turned away from him, "So?"
But she could still feel Fu Ling's burning gaze, which stayed on her face and never left.
She waited for his answer.
After a moment's silence, Fu Ling finally spoke.
"There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. I love you but you don't know it. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the truth."
"You are right. Love comes from nowhere, but it is deep and lasts only for a moment. The reason I don't let you be with him is not because of him, but because..."
"I like you."
"Consistently."
Fu Ling looked at her and spoke slowly and seriously.
There was an indescribable emotion in his eyes, his tone was affectionate and nostalgic, and even the night wind became gentle.
After Fu Ling finished speaking, his heart couldn't help but beat faster, and it even felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.
His breathing was also a little disordered and he couldn't calm down no matter what he did.
Fu Ling curled his fingers behind his back slightly, and opened his thin lips slightly, "So..."
"Zhao'er, if you like him, you might as well like me."
"no!"
"Wait a moment!"
Ruan Xihe choked.
This time she heard it clearly.
Her eyes suddenly widened, and she quickly opened the door and pulled Fu Ling in.
After closing the door, she held Fu Ling against the door, supporting his side with one hand, in an interrogating posture, her expression full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Let's talk first, how did you know my nickname?"
