"Doctor, how are Xuan Lie's injuries?”Ji Qingyan asked anxiously. He was so worried about Xuan Lie's injuries that he didn't even have time to change out of his bloodstained clothes.
"It's fine. Fortunately, the arrow missed and didn't hit a vital point.”The doctor's words made people feel a little more at ease.
"I'll send the doctor out first." Tao Zhongkai said.
"Yes." Watching Tao Zhongkai and the doctor walk out of the room, Ji Qingyan held Xuan Lie's hand. "I'm sorry, Xuan Lie. It's all my fault. If it wasn't for me…"
Xuan Lie covered Ji Qingyan's mouth and said,
"I did everything willingly.”
" But…" Ji Qingyan was not only worried about Xuan Lie's injuries, but also many other things.
"Go and change your clothes. Your clothes are stained with blood, and your hair is messy. My Flame God has always been bright and beautiful. Seeing you like this really makes my heart ache.”
"I want to accompany you." Ji Qingyan said. How could he be in the mood to care about his external beauty?
"Didn't the doctor say that I'm fine?”
"I still want to accompany you." Ji Qingyan felt uneasy, as if Xuan Lie was about to leave her.
"Then come over! I want to hug you."
Xuan Lie opened his arms to him, and Ji Qingyan laid down beside him, allowing Xuan Lie to hug her.
Even so, at this moment, their hearts were tightly connected, as if nothing could break them apart.
The next day, Xuan Qing arrived at the Flame Residence, saying that he was looking for Xuan Lie.
Originally, Ji Qingyan wanted to make up an excuse to get rid of Xuan Qing, but Xuan Lie didn't think it was a good idea.
"Father won't give up until he sees me. Why don't you let me go and explain things to him?”
"Alright."
In any case, this was his territory. In theory, he had the advantage.
Thus, Ji Qingyan accompanied Xuan Lie to see his father. However, Xuan Qing requested,""Let me talk to Lie 'er alone first.”
"No, no matter what you say, I must be present.”Ji Qingyan insisted.
Xuan Qing's gaze made him uneasy. This person couldn't be thinking of taking Xuan Lie away from him, right? Ji Qingyan couldn't help but think so.
" Let me talk to Father alone," Xuan Lie said to Ji Qingyan." Don't worry. As long as we love each other, no one can separate us."”
"Alright then!"
Although she was very worried, Ji Qingyan still walked out of the room and let Xuan Lie and Xuan Qing have a good talk.
When only Xuan Lie and Xuan Qing were left in the room, Xuan Qing went straight to the point,"Ji Qingyan might be your elder brother.”
"What?" This was probably the most ridiculous thing Xuan Lie had ever heard. "Father, you can't make up such a ridiculous reason just because you want to separate me and Qingyan.”
"I'm telling the truth." Xuan Qing said seriously.
"I don't believe you." How could Xuan Lie believe such a thing? He had never heard that he had an elder brother.
In order to gain Xuan Lie's trust, Xuan Qing could only tell him about the past that he had almost forgotten.
"Twenty years ago, before I married your mother, I met a woman from a brothel. She was very beautiful, but she had a fiery nature. As long as a man looked at her, he would be infatuated with her. I was no exception. I was only one of her many pursuers, but I never thought that she would choose me. We had a very good time.”
Xuan Qing stopped here as his thoughts sank into his memories.
"And then?" Xuan Lie couldn't help but ask.”
" Then…" Xuan Qing continued,""I was forced by my parents to marry your mother, but that woman from the brothel told me that she was pregnant with my child on the day of my wedding. I originally thought that it was her way of trying to get me back. In addition, I loved her too much at that time, so I wanted to take her as a concubine. However, she actually hired someone to assassinate your mother because she wanted to become her official wife. I didn't expect her to be such a ruthless woman. In a fit of anger, I cut off all ties with her.”
"Where did that woman go?”Xuan Lie asked.
"I'm not sure either. After that, I left Luoyang for a long time, and there was no more news of her.”
Xuan Qing finished his story, but Xuan Lie still had many questions in his heart.
"Do you think that woman from the brothel is Qingyan's mother?”Xuan Lie asked his father.
"I've sent people to investigate. Ji Qingyan is indeed that woman's son. If I were to calculate based on time, he might very well be my son.”Moreover, the possibility of this was very high.
"Does Qingyan know about your relationship with his mother?”
Thinking that he might be related to Ji Qingyan by blood, Xuan Lie couldn't help but shiver.
"Lie 'er, don't you think it's suspicious that he would deliberately approach you?”
Regardless of whether Xuan Qing had said this intentionally or unintentionally, it had indeed cast a shadow over Xuan Lie's heart.
"Qingyan loves me." Xuan Lie said.
"Is that so? Should we prove it?" Xuan Qing revealed a shrewd look.
"How do I prove it?" Xuan Lie asked.
Xuan Qing had already thought of a way.
"I'll get information from Ji Qingyan. If he finds out about his mother's relationship with me and proves that he's indeed my son, you must leave him unconditionally.”
" This…" Xuan Lie had never thought that he would have to leave Ji Qingyan, and…" Father, he might be your son or my brother. Why did you speak of him as if he was an outsider that you hated?”
"He looks very similar to his mother. Perhaps he is as ruthless as his mother. When I think of this, I can't have any feelings for him that belong to family.”
Her father's opinion was too unfair to Qing Yan. How could Qing Yan be a ruthless man!
"Qing Yan definitely doesn't know the inside story." Xuan Lie said with certainty," Alright, I agree to let you get information from him, but I will never leave him.”
"We'll talk about it when the time comes!" Xuan Qing said.
No matter what, for the sake of Xuan Lie's future, he had to separate Ji Qingyan and Xuan Lie!
"Where's Xuan Lie?"
Ji Qingyan didn't know what Xuan Lie and Xuan Qing were talking about, but Xuan Qing walked out alone. Ji Qingyan couldn't feel at ease without seeing Xuan Lie.
"Don't be anxious. Before you go to see Lie 'er, I have something to ask you.”Xuan Qing said.
"I don't have to answer your question.”
Ji Qingyan was about to walk past Xuan Qing to find Xuan Lie when Xuan Qing suddenly asked,""Ji Shiniang is your mother, right?”
Hearing this, Ji Qingyan stopped and slowly turned around to look at Xuan Qing.
"So you already know."
Since Xuan Qing already knew about his background, could Xuan Lie also…
"Tell me honestly, what is your motive for getting close to Lie 'er?”Xuan Qing asked again.
"I love him." Ji Qingyan replied. At least at this moment, he truly loved Xuan Lie.
"Do you think I'll believe you?" Xuan Qing snorted coldly." General Du has already told me that you investigated me before you approached Xuan Lie. Did your mother tell you something?”
At the mention of her mother, Ji Qingyan could no longer hide her anger towards Xuan Qing.
"Mother told me that you are a heartless man.”
"Is that what she told you?" "She's the one with the heart of a snake," Xuan Qing said in disbelief.”
"Shut up!"
Ji Qingyan wouldn't allow anyone to insult his mother. In his heart, he had already determined that Xuan Qing was an unpardonable villain.
"What else did your mother tell you?" Xuan Qing asked. You said I was your father, right?"
"I really wish you weren't my father." " No, you're not my father," Ji Qingyan said with hatred." You never raised me. I only hate you."”
"So you lured Lie 'er to take revenge on me?”Xuan Qing tried to come up with this conclusion.
"That's right, that's my plan.”Ji Qingyan admitted honestly. He was so angry that he could lie to make Xuan Qing suffer. "Otherwise, do you think I would fall in love with Xuan Lie?”
"You don't love Lie 'er?" Xuan Qing was secretly delighted when he heard this.
"That's right. I don't love him at all. If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to take revenge on you, I wouldn't have been with him at all.”
Ji Qingyan said something that went against his conscience, but he didn't feel any pleasure. Instead, he felt pain.
At this moment, Xuan Qing suddenly looked behind him with a strange expression and said,"Lie 'er, you can come out now."
Xuan Lie!
Had he been eavesdropping on their conversation?
Ji Qingyan felt his breath stop. This was probably the worst moment of his life.
"Xuan Lie, listen to me!"
Even though she knew she couldn't take back her words, Ji Qingyan still tried her best to explain.
Who said that hard work would definitely lead to good results? Ji Qingyan tried her best to salvage this relationship, but Xuan Lie only treated her coldly.
"There's nothing to say. I heard it clearly just now.”"So you don't love me at all. Everything in the past was just your pretense." Xuan Lie laughed self-mockingly.”
"Xuan Lie, that's not it!"
Ji Qingyan didn't know what was wrong with him. Why would he say such a lie? He felt so regretful now.
"I was too stupid to believe you. I won't be so stupid in the future.”Xuan Lie's expression became uglier as he spoke.
"Xuan Lie…"
"Young master Ji, we won't meet again.”After saying this emotionless sentence, Xuan Lie practically rushed out of the door.
"Xuan Lie, why didn't you give me a chance to explain?”
He couldn't lose Xuan Lie. If he didn't have Xuan Lie, he didn't know how he would live in the future.
Xuan Qing was very satisfied with this result. At least in the current situation, it was impossible for incest to happen between them again because he knew Xuan Lie very well. He knew that Xuan Lie would never forgive Ji Qingyan.
"You have indeed achieved your goal of taking revenge on me. However, don't even think about toying with Lie 'er's feelings in the future!”
"I didn't play with Xuan Lie's feelings! Now I love Xuan Lie more than anyone else. Of course, a man like you will never understand me!”
After saying this, Ji Qingyan turned around and left without looking back.
He decided to get Xuan Lie back. No matter what method he used, this time he must get back the love that belonged to him.
"Xuan Lie, wait for me. You can't leave me like this!”Ji Qingyan caught up with Xuan Lie before he left the Flame Residence.
Xuan Lie turned around and coldly said,"Humph! What a joke, why can't I leave? Do I need your permission to leave?”
"I know that you are very angry. I have indeed lied to you about some things, but!!”
Ji Qingyan was anxious to explain, but he was interrupted by Xuan Lie, who remembered something else.
"You said that the remaining three months of your life were also a lie?”
"Yes." Ji Qingyan admitted helplessly.
"Alright! In short, I'm too stupid."
Xuan Lie turned around and wanted to leave, but Ji Qingyan didn't let him go and hurriedly pulled him back.
"Lie, there's one thing I'm not lying to you about. I love you. I'm in love with you!”
Ji Qingyan's eager confession only made Xuan Lie laugh exaggeratedly. He said self-deprecatingly,"
"You love me? Ji Qingyan, ah, Ji Qingyan, how dare you say that! If you had said this before I knew the truth, I would have believed it and even felt touched. But now, I can only treat it as a joke.”
"No, I can't! Lie, please recall every moment we were together. If I didn't love you, I would never let you hug me!”
Ji Qingyan knew that it would be very difficult to make Xuan Lie believe in her now, but he had to do his best.
Xuan Lie was the only man who had hugged him!
However, Ji Qingyan's words had no effect on the furious Xuan Lie.
"How many people have you said this to?”
"No one else, only you!"
Hearing Ji Qingyan's words, Xuan Lie sneered again.
"Do you think I'll still believe you? Why should I believe you?"
Ji Qingyan had hurt him so deeply that Xuan Lie could never forgive him.
"A proud son of heaven like you will never understand my feelings," Ji Qingyan sighed. I did hate you in the beginning. How could I not hate you? We have the same blood flowing in our bodies, but our encounters are so different. That's why I planned to take revenge even though I knew I would hurt you.”
Xuan Lie listened to his confession expressionlessly.
"But I didn't expect to be attracted to you, so the more I lied to you, the more painful my heart became. Actually, I should have told you the truth earlier, but I just couldn't muster the courage.”
The reason why Ji Qingyan was so timid was that he was afraid that Xuan Lie would leave him after knowing the truth.
"When you chose this method of revenge, you should have expected this outcome.”Xuan Lie said coldly.
He had once been madly infatuated with Ji Qingyan and was even willing to abandon everything for her. However, when he woke up from his dream, he realized how cruel reality was.
"Can't we start from the beginning?”Ji Qingyan grabbed his arm and begged.
Xuan Lie shook his hand off.
"It's too late."
Because he loved Ji Qingyan too much, he couldn't forgive her.
"Lie, you once promised me that no matter what I do, you would never leave me. You said that you would keep your promise!”Ji Qingyan had no other way to redeem Xuan Lie, so she could only bring out her promise from the past.
"I did say that." However, now that he thought about it, it only made Xuan Lie even angrier. It turned out that Ji Qingyan had been scheming against him all this time. She didn't even let go of his promise. "Please forgive me. I can't keep my promise to you.”
After saying that, Xuan Lie turned his back to Ji Qingyan. God knew how difficult it was for him to give up his feelings for Ji Qingyan.
"Lie, I can't live without you!" Ji Qingyan shouted at Xuan Lie's back.
"Goodbye, Qingyan."
Xuan Lie strode away. No matter how much Ji Qingyan called him, he would not turn back.
No matter how difficult it was, he had to completely forget Ji Qingyan and the good times they had.
Ji Qingyan looked at Xuan Lie's receding figure and felt as if her heart had been emptied.
Xuan Lie had really left him. The worst thing was that he could no longer return to the heartless Ji Qingyan of the past.
Ji Qingyan changed.
Du Jiyao had never expected that Ji Qingyan had changed so much in just a few days.
He was depressed, he was in a daze, he…
"I didn't expect you to love Xuan Lie so much.”
Du Jiyao had heard about the breakup between Ji Qingyan and Xuan Lie, so he wanted to take advantage of the situation and apologize to Ji Qingyan. He wanted to ask for her forgiveness and hope that they could start over.
However, perhaps he was too naive!
Du Jiyao, what are you doing here?" Although Ji Qingyan was looking at him, her eyes were empty.
"I came to apologize to you." Du Jiyao said," I was too rash last time. It was because I loved you too much that I hurt Xuan Lie and made you sad." Can you forgive me?"
"It doesn't matter." Ji Qingyan said calmly.
"Flame God, you can scold me.”This way, he would feel better.
Because he should bear half of the responsibility for the pain in Ji Qingyan's heart.
"Why should I scold you?" " I can understand how you feel," Ji Qingyan said." I understand how abnormal it can be to love someone. I can understand it completely."”
"Flame God, cry if you want to!”Seeing Ji Qingyan like this, Du Jiyao felt sad.
"Cry? I can't cry!" "Jiyao, don't you think it's too quiet here?" Ji Qingyan asked.”
"Eh?"
"Oh right, let's hold a banquet!”Ji Qingyan suddenly said.
"What are you thinking? Flame God." Du Jiyao shouted in confusion.
He couldn't understand Ji Qingyan's thoughts at all. Wasn't he just so sad because he lost Xuan Lie? Why did he suddenly want to hold a banquet?
"I want to hold a lively banquet every day to drive away all the unhappiness.”
"Flame God, are you alright?"
Ji Qingyan seemed to have regained some of her energy, but was that really the case?
"I'm fine, I'm very fine."
If she didn't do anything, Ji Qingyan might be swallowed up by the endless sorrow.#
