Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Do You Dislike My Feelings for You?
Bai Zhi’er was startled.
She turned her head and saw Feng Fuce already standing beside her.
"You... how did you know I was here?"
Feng Fuce chuckled: "Don’t you know that I’ve always been perceptive?"
Bai Zhi’er lowered her head: "I was just passing by, and you happened to see me, that’s all. I’m leaving now."
She turned to leave, but Feng Fuce grabbed her wrist.
Bai Zhi’er was shocked: "Let go! Be careful, my father might see us."
Feng Fuce found it amusing, his handsome eyebrows teasing lightly.
"But before, you hugged me in front of the Emperor, and he didn’t say anything, did he?"
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes widened: "If I had known you had ulterior motives, I would never have hugged you!"
Feng Fuce’s smile faded slightly: "Are you repelled by my affection?"
Bai Zhi’er’s struggles softened.
She licked her lips: "No..."
Feng Fuce’s eyes brightened up a bit more.
"So, were you here to secretly watch me?"
"No!" Bai Zhi’er denied immediately.
Feng Fuce furrowed his brows slightly: "Then you dislike my affection."
Bai Zhi’er hesitated, stomped her foot, and admitted: "Fine, I came to see you. So what?"
"This doesn’t mean I dislike your affection, nor does it mean I accept it."
"I’m just afraid my father will scold you, because of the Long Xiyuan accepting me as a goddaughter. He will definitely blame you for not stopping it."
Feng Fuce laughed gently, quietly pulling her a bit closer.
He lowered his eyes and said: "You understand the Emperor well, he did blame, but wasn’t too angry."
"He talked to me privately about something else. Tomorrow I have to go far away, probably—"
Feng Fuce pondered for a moment: "About five days, then I’ll be back."
Rushing to Peng County takes only one day and night at the fastest, handling the Second Young Master’s matters on the same day, then return.
About five days.
Bai Zhi’er was curious: "What is it? Why do you have to go tomorrow? You just came back, won’t my father let you rest for a few days?"
Feng Fuce said indifferently: "You tell me your answer first, then I’ll tell you why I’m going out."
Bai Zhi’er was stunned, then pouted angrily, her beautiful eyes widened: "Why are you still setting conditions!"
"If you don’t tell me, fine, I’ll ask my father tonight and find out anyway!"
Feng Fuce chuckled: "Then when I come back, can I get your answer?"
Bai Zhi’er’s eyes flickered, and for some reason, her face turned red again.
"Maybe... maybe..."
Feng Fuce’s cool voice carried a warmth and patience special to Bai Zhi’er.
"Actually, you can take your time to think about it. I’m not rushing you, it’s just that my feelings for you naturally make me anxious."
"But I know, as long as you didn’t refuse back then, it already shows that you’re not opposed to me."
"Take your time, just don’t avoid me because of this."
"I won’t force you, nor will I eat you. Next time you see me, don’t run so fast."
Bai Zhi’er’s face suddenly turned red: "Who’s running away! I was just walking a bit fast."
"So for this journey, be safe, and come back soon."
With that, she covered her face and ran off quickly.
Bai Zhi’er felt that Feng Fuce must have cast some spell on her.
Otherwise, why would she blush when she heard him say "eat"?
Ever since he confessed his feelings, whenever they met, it seemed like they might hug at any moment.
The burning gaze of his eyes, she could feel it, and they weren’t opposed to touching each other.
Bai Zhi’er hadn’t answered because she wasn’t sure if this meant she also liked Feng Fuce.
Sadly, her mother wasn’t there, and no one could resolve her confusion.
