Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness C.142

Chapter 142: I Have Never Been Involved with Him

“Miss Hu, to be frank, I’ve fallen for you at first sight… It seems like you also enjoy my company… If you don’t mind, I’m willing to make a vow with you and establish a lifelong bond.”

A day of flower viewing came to an end. Throughout the day, the scholar Liu Yuan never stopped talking. He was very happy, thinking that Hu Qianzao enjoyed accompanying him to admire the flowers.

So, without hesitation, he proposed to Hu Qianzao.

In this era, ordinary men and women might never have the chance to meet again after a single encounter. If they didn’t seize the opportunity, their beloved might never appear before them again.

In such circumstances, regardless of gender, people’s expressions of affection toward their loved ones tend to be straightforward. Although they had only known each other for less than a day, Liu Yuan felt extremely confident.

He believed that with his talent, appearance, and the hint of his distinguished family background he had revealed earlier, he could surely win the heart of the girl who was as beautiful as a fairy.

He was very confident.

But Hu Qianzao had long been impatient. If it weren’t for teasing Ye Xuan, she wouldn’t have bothered talking to this guy at all. Seeing Ye Xuan still following not far behind her, she couldn’t help but secretly chuckle.

“Do you agree, Miss Hu?!” Seeing Hu Qianzao smile, Liu Yuan couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. He eagerly asked, “Do you agree?!”

As he spoke, he cast a triumphant glance at Ye Xuan behind him, as if saying, ‘Your efforts were in vain. She doesn’t like you.’

“Huh?” Hu Qianzao frowned. ‘When did I say I agreed? And he looks so smug, provoking the guy behind him. This guy is even more annoying than the one behind him.’

Thinking of this, she spoke up, “Master Liu, you may have misunderstood. I didn’t say anything about agreeing, did I?”

“Uh…” Hearing this, Liu Yuan’s smug expression froze, replaced by astonishment. “You… You didn’t agree? But you just laughed…”

“I just remembered something happy,” Hu Qianzao said.

“This…” Liu Yuan’s expression of astonishment suddenly turned into panic and disappointment. He asked Hu Qianzao, “Miss Hu, you… you mean you don’t agree?”

“Of course, I don’t agree,” Hu Qianzao said, “We’ve only met for a day, I don’t know you well, and I don’t like you.”

“Why?!” Hearing this, Liu Yuan became even more anxious. He hurriedly asked, “What have I done to make you dislike me? Tell me, I’ll change.”

“Uh…” Seeing this guy still pestering her, Hu Qianzao said, “It’s you as a person that I don’t like.”

“Ha!” Ye Xuan, who had been following behind, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Hahaha!”

Liu Yuan’s face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He couldn’t believe that he would get such a result. She said she didn’t like him as a person, how could he change that?

Find someone else? He was already feeling miserable, and hearing Ye Xuan’s laughter from behind only made him feel even worse.

“What are you laughing at?” Hu Qianzao turned to Ye Xuan and asked.

“I just remembered something happy,” Ye Xuan said, putting away his smile and looking at Hu Qianzao with a sincere expression.

Facing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel a little flustered. What’s wrong with this guy’s eyes? Why did she feel so uneasy when he looked at her?

“Humph, you’re just like a shadow, I don’t like him, and I won’t like you either.” She said to Ye Xuan.

“I know,” Ye Xuan said, “But just hearing that you don’t like him makes me feel as if I’ve been pulled out of the depths of despair and imprisonment.”

Ye Xuan’s words made Hu Qianzao feel even more flustered. She didn’t know why she felt this way, but instinctively, she wanted to avoid Ye Xuan’s gaze.

However, she didn’t want to show weakness to Ye Xuan, so she just glanced at him blankly, ignored his words, and turned away.

“Hmph, if she’s not interested in me, she won’t be interested in you either,” the scholar said, looking displeased. “I won’t give up.”

Ye Xuan didn’t even glance at the scholar. In his mind, memories of the past gradually surfaced. He willingly faced death for Hu Qianzao, enduring endless humiliation and torture.

And Hu Qianzao, for him, was willing to endure the pain of her soul being burned by Yin Fire by entering the Yin You Spring.

He didn’t believe that Hu Qianzao, who had lost her memories of him, would truly have no feelings for him. Even if memories fade, feelings don’t. Sooner or later, Hu Qianzao would accept him. He was deeply convinced of this.

Everyone watched silently…

The scene shifted to a month later.

For a month, Ye Xuan followed Hu Qianzao every day. Although Hu Qianzao was the young lady of the Jade Fox Palace, her cultivation was far from reaching the level required to become the Lady.

Unlike the cultivation sects like the Taihua Immortal Sect, the Jade Fox Palace belonged to a special force, and the position of the Lady was inherited rather than earned through merit.

Because of this, Hu Qianzao’s cultivation was comparable to Ye Xuan’s. She found it not easy to shake him off. Of course, more importantly, although she instinctively wanted to avoid Ye Xuan, she didn’t reject the feeling of being with him.

Plus, with Ye Xuan shamelessly pestering her every day, she eventually accepted this situation.

However, she still hadn’t agreed to be with Ye Xuan. In any case, the relationship between the two was considered amicable.

One day, Hu Qianzao received an invitation from Ye Xuan to go sightseeing at West Lake.

“This persistent fellow… Coming to see me every day… Hehe, my charm as the young lady is indeed extraordinary.” Looking at Ye Xuan’s letter, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but show a hint of joy.

In the scene, she finally showed a favorable attitude towards Ye Xuan, and the disciples of the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Lady, it seems like you’ve been together with Ye Xuan for quite some time, right?” the cute little fox girl suddenly asked Hu Qianzao.

“Together? Hmph, I have never been involved with him!” Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but scold. Then, memories of what had happened in the past began to surface in her mind…

At that time, she had thought that there might be something between her and Ye Xuan. But she didn’t expect that what awaited her was Ye Xuan’s cruelest treatment!

Although she didn’t know why Ye Xuan would do such a thing to her, that was the truth.
