I felt as if someone was staring at me, making me completely uncomfortable. I'm afraid Young-Jeong! As expected, when I raised my head and looked in his direction, my eyes met with his! His pitiful, sad, and slightly angry eyes stared straight at my heart. It was as if I was a child who had done something wrong and could only wait for his punishment! I quickly retracted my gaze!
"Fourteenth brother, why aren't you saying anything today? You're usually the most active!”The Thirteenth Prince turned his head and said to the Fourteenth Prince.
I didn't want to listen anymore, but I was afraid that Fourteen would be sad, so I whispered to Qingyun,"Sister Qing Yun, can Ruoxuan go outside to get some fresh air?”
Qing Yun rolled his eyes at me. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he nodded and agreed.
I gently bent down and left, my mind full of incomprehensible thoughts. Unknowingly, I walked to the backyard. It was already night, and the garden was dark. This was good, no one would notice me. I sat down on the steps.
"How long do you want to hide from me?”A voice suddenly rang out from behind me. I couldn't be more familiar with this voice.
I was so scared that I quickly got up and bowed." Fourteenth elder brother is lucky. If there is nothing else, this servant will take her leave first!"”
I almost finished speaking in one breath, afraid that he would stop me. After saying that, I turned around and wanted to leave, but he grabbed my hand tightly from behind.
"I have something to do, you're not allowed to leave!”He spoke in a commanding tone, just like he had said last time,"I saved your life, which means it's mine. I won't let anyone take what belongs to me.”
"You didn't even give me a chance to explain!”
"Fourteenth brother, now is not the problem. The problem now is that I don't know if the answers we give each other are the answers we want to give.”
"But I know that the answer I'm giving you is the deepest and strongest desire in my heart!”
"But I don't know! I don't know if I mistook my gratitude for love. I don't know if I have the courage to share a man I love with another woman. You're the elder brother, born in a royal family. It's normal for you to have three wives and four concubines, but I don't have the courage to accept this fact!”
It was as if I finally understood why I was avoiding him today. Tears were already jumping on my face. I couldn't bear to let him see it again and hurt his heart. He ran back to his room. I cried until I fell asleep. I didn't know how much I cried or how long I cried.
