Su Xi-er cast a meaningful glance at Hong Li . “Follow Ruo Yuan . ”
Hong Li understood and swiftly departed in the same direction as Ruo Yuan .
Wu Ling was still being pestered by Ye Qingzhu, and could only helplessly signal at Su Xi-er with his eyes to help him .
However, Su Xi-er shook her head and instead turned to walk deeper into the backyard .

Wu Ling was at his wit’s end . In the end, he pushed Ye Qingzhu away while asking her, “Tell me, what exactly do you want?”
“I don’t want anything from you . I just want to look at you and follow you . Is that so wrong?” Ye Qingzhu gazed at Wu Ling, unsure of what he was annoyed about . I have already taken a step back by not pressuring him to like me .
“Do you plan to keep following me even after I marry a wife? Ye Qingzhu, do you still plan on marrying someone?” Wu Ling involuntarily raised his voice and stared at her solemnly .
Ye Qingzhu was shocked . Big Brother Wu has never raised his voice at me . Did I force him too much? Is he determined to not even allow me to like him?
“Ye Qingzhu, don’t look at me like that . Do you understand that I only look upon you like a younger sister? I do not wish for my younger sister to harbour such feelings towards me; otherwise, we would end up like…” Wu Ling lowered his voice before he walked closer to Ye Qingzhu and continued . “The Empress Dowager has liked Prince Hao for so many years, but Prince Hao has never accepted her feelings . Don’t you understand why? I don’t want us to one day end up like Prince Hao and the Empress Dowager . ”

Wu Ling felt that he had made things very clear, and turned to leave without looking at the expression on Ye Qingzhu’s face .
Ye Qingzhu stood there dumbstruck, and was at a loss of what to do . I am very clear about how tense the relationship between Prince Hao and the Empress Dowager is . At the same time, the idea that Big Brother Wu will meet someone else that he likes in the future makes me uncomfortable . I know myself well enough that I might do something reckless that would elicit his displeasure .
The more she contemplated, the more blank Ye Qingzhu’s gaze became as she realised the futility of her situation .
Eventually, another female’s voice came from behind her . “It’s also good to settle things early . ”

Ye Qingzhu turned around and looked at Su Xi-er . “Perhaps it’s because I’ve followed Prince Hao for so long, but my personality has become like his, unable to let things go . Would Prince Hao feel the same if he was forced to let you go?”
“Don’t always compare yourself with Prince Hao; he is always certain that he will obtain something when he wants it . There are few others who can share such confidence . The same applies here: are you sure that you can get Wu Ling to like you?”
Faced with Su Xi-er’s question, Ye Qingzhu actually found herself unable to reply . I would’ve answered yes in a heartbeat in the past, but now I am not so sure . It feels like there’s a tense string between Big Brother Wu and I, and if I pull any harder, the string might break .
“Even without Wu Ling, you can survive on your own . Don’t force yourself into a dead end . ” Su Xi-er patted Ye Qingzhu’s shoulder and softly encouraged her .
Ye Qingzhu’s body shivered . “What I can do is help Big Brother Wu with his work . ”
“Help him do things, but silently . Ye Qingzhu, that’s what Prince Hao has always been doing for me . He has never told me how much he likes me, but I can tell from his actions . ” Su Xi-er slowly said, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile without her realising it .
Everyone wishes for warmth . Everyone wishes to be comforted . Everyone wishes for a safe harbour . Whether someone is weak or strong makes no difference .
Ye Qingzhu felt as if she had stopped breathing . Prince Hao has always been silently supporting Su Xi-er, instead of just fighting for her without regard for anything else .
So that’s how it is; it’s my fault that Big Brother Wu feels that he has been forced to a cliff’s edge . I didn’t properly understand what Prince Hao meant when he told me that I had to fight for what I like .
