Ying Bao was acting like a child who had misbehaved. She did not speak and listened quietly to his nagging.
Huangfu Xuanye tidied her up and picked up the apple she had just peeled. âBut this is your first time peeling an apple. Iâll eat it.â
âStop eating! Thereâs not much flesh left.â
âItâs fine. Itâs delicious.â
Huangfu Xuanye took a big bite. He felt that the apple that Ying Bao peeled was more delicious than any fruit he had ever eaten before.
After eating the apple, Huangfu Xuanye looked at the time and reminded her, âDonât stay up late tonight. Go back and have a good rest. You still have to go to school tomorrow.â
âOkay.â
âGo back and practice well. Iâll be waiting to watch your show,â Huangfu Xuanye encouraged.
âUncle, are you coming to watch my show?â Ying Bao asked.
âYes. Iâll cheer you on.â
âReally? Thatâs great!â
Ying Bao was elated. They had made an agreement. At night, someone from the palace came to pick Ying Bao up and she went home reluctantly.
Soon after she left, another person came to the ward.
âTang Feimo went to the ward to look for Huangfu Xuanye, but the guards were guarding the door and did not let him in.
âPlease tell the king that I want to meet him.â
After the guard reported, Tang Feimo was invited into the ward.
Huangfu Xuanye thought he was looking for Ying Bao and thus, told him, âIf youâre here for Ying Bao, she just went back to the palace.â
âNo, Iâm not here for her. Iâm here for you.â
âTang Feimo sat down in front of him. He looked at Huangfu Xuanye and said, âI hit you this time because I was too impulsive. I apologize to you now.â
If it wasnât for Ying Bao, Tang Feimo would not have come to apologize.
âItâs okay.â
Huangfu Xuanye already knew that his relapse was related to his drinking. No wonder Tang Feimo punched him.
Since Tang Feimo had apologized, Huangfu Xuanye forgave him. Seeing that Tang Feimo had no intention of leaving, he asked, âIs there anything else?â
âCan you let go of Cherry?â
âMe? What?â
Huangfu Xuanye could not understand. He had already chosen to let go and was willing to give him and Ying Bao his well wishes. Why was he still saying such things?
âYouâre the king of a country, and Iâm just an ordinary person. In terms of strength, Iâm no match for you. But I love Ying Bao. Iâve liked her since she was young, Iâve worked hard to become more mature all these years. My only wish is to be with Ying Bao when I grow up. I want to marry her in the future
and take care of her for the rest of my life. Thatâs why Iâm afraid that she will be snatched away by you. Well, because I donât have the confidence to pull her back from you now.â
âAsa bystander, Tang Feimo could already feel that Ying Bao cared about Huangfu Xuanye the most.
He had been in China for the past few years, and Huangfu Xuanye had been by Ying Baoâs side when she needed to be comforted the most. He was so important to her that one could replace him.
Tang Feimo had lost his best chance!
Seeing how much Ying Bao cared about Huangfu Xuanye made his heart ache. He was very upset and nervous. That was why he had come to talk to Huangfu Xuanye.
Of course, if Ying Bao knew about this, she would definitely ignore him even more!
After Tang Feimo finished speaking, the room fell into silence. Huangfu Xuanye did not speak for a long time.
âForget it, just pretend I didnât say anything!â
In the end, Tang Feimo let out a self-deprecating laughter. He felt as if he was trying to persuade a lion not to eat meat.
âT still have something to do. Iâll leave first.â
