FID – Chapter 762

Chapter 762: Between Them, It Felt Like Fate

The two biggest obstacles were effortlessly removed by Feng Qingbai’s shadow guards.

All that remained were the three people inside the room.

“Your Highness, it’s not that I don’t give you face, but today’s situation is special. If you want to take the beauty home, it depends on your sincerity and ability!” Shi Xianrou exhaled behind the door, preparing for a full-on confrontation.

‘Conquer or die’ wasn’t just something to say.

Outside, the man raised an eyebrow and calmly spoke to the people behind him, “Strip Qian Wanjin of his clothes and throw them into the front yard.”

“!” The team of obstacles froze in shock.

Qian Wanjin struggled even harder. “Damn it, damn you, damn it, Feng Qingbai, you bastard! Half of the guests outside are women, and you dare to ruin my reputation? I’ll fight you to the death! Xiao Shi, help me!!”

He was close to tears.

Strip his clothes? Throw him into the front yard for display? Feng Qingbai was truly something else!

Shi Xianrou slumped the moment Feng Qingbai spoke.

To protect her own man’s reputation, she had no choice but to sacrifice herself.

When it came to being despicable and cunning, who could match Feng Qingbai?

“Shengsheng, I tried my best,” she apologized.

“You tried your best by not even getting a chance to step in?” Little White Lotus was utterly disdainful. “Step aside, I’ll handle this!”

Her family’s Zhiqiu was a little rascal, and the tactic of stripping clothes wouldn’t work on him. Liu Muqiu wasn’t worried at all.

He’d been running around naked in the village, fishing in the river since he was a kid. Would Zhiqiu be afraid of this?

“Wei Lan, go to Zhiqiu’s room. Check under the bed, behind the bookshelf, the cracks in the wall tiles, and the mosquito net’s top layer. Any silver notes you find, give them to the brothers of the Shadow Guard Battalion. Thank you for your hard work.”

“Feng Qingbai, you bastard, I’m never going to get along with you!” Liu Zhiqiu’s roar immediately rang out, “Shengsheng, this guy is too sinister. If you marry him, he’ll suck your bones dry and leave nothing behind! Break off the engagement!!”

Feng Qingbai smiled slowly and casually and then added, “The money bag on top of the bookshelf, the fifty thousand silver notes stuck between the second row of travel books…”

“I was wrong! I give up, okay?! Feng Qingbai, good brother, please stop talking!” Every time Feng Qingbai named a place, Liu Zhiqiu’s eyes bulged more, finally unable to hold it in and begging for mercy.

The hell! How did Feng Qingbai know where all my hidden money was?!

He even knew the exact amount! Was there a mole spying on him all the time?

Damn it!

Feng Qingbai folded his hands in front of him, looking calm and refined, his demeanor like that of a gentleman. He tilted his chin slightly towards the room.

Liu Zhiqiu immediately understood, and with a very fawning attitude, said, “Little White Lotus, whether we can keep our wealth depends on you!”

The hatred and bloodshed, ah, swallowed it all down!

As soon as he spoke, Liu Muqiu’s fighting spirit vanished instantly, completely extinguished.

Under the mocking gaze of Shi Xianrou, she silently retreated.

“Nannan, it’s not that I’m not capable enough, it’s that the enemy is too strong.”

“Husband-slave, just a husband-slave, you’re just making excuses.” Shi Xianrou laughed heartily.

“Sounds like you’re so much better than me,” Liu Muqiu retorted.

The two women began to bicker, and soon they placed their hopes on the only remaining person, Fu Yuzhen.

Covered with the red veil, Liu Yusheng couldn’t help but sigh with laughter. In less than three breaths, all three of the people around her would be defeated.

Fu Yuzheng obviously had self-awareness, shaking her head. “Don’t have too many expectations from me. I can only try my best.”

Saying this, she adjusted the little bean in her arms, then walked to the door. “Your Highness, I won’t make things too difficult for you. First, tell me when you fell in love with our Shengsheng. If we’re satisfied, we’ll open the door for you.”

The courtyard inside and outside immediately fell silent, everyone straining their ears to hear how the King would respond.

Not only them, but even Liu Yusheng, who had been quietly watching the scene unfold, held her breath, anxiously waiting for the answer.

She and Feng Qingbai had never discussed such a topic.

The development of their feelings was natural, almost as if it was destined to happen.

So perhaps neither of them had ever thought about when exactly their affection began.

The people outside were clearly surprised that Fu Yuzheng would ask such a question, and were stunned for a while.

It was indeed unexpected.

Feng Qingbai raised his eyes, his gaze passing through the door, falling on the woman dressed in bridal attire. His eyes softened with warmth.

“When… I don’t know. Since I met Shengsheng, I’ve wanted her attention to be all on me. I liked being with her, liked seeing her smile, wanted to make her happy, and wanted to give her everything I could afford. I couldn’t bear to see her sad, couldn’t stand her being wronged, and couldn’t tolerate anyone bullying her. I wanted to protect her, to be her support.”

So, at that time, he chose to leave.

So, at that time, he didn’t dare to acknowledge it.

“I don’t know when I fell in love with Shengsheng. I don’t know if it started with my possessiveness toward her, which later turned into love, or if I loved her from the start, but was too young and naive to understand it back then. I just know that from the moment we met again, I couldn’t bear to have any other man around her, and I couldn’t stand the thought that she would eventually belong to someone else. The only person who could make me give up everything is Liu Yusheng.”

Just like the vow he made back then.

Give me Sheng, and I will give up the world.

The man’s voice was soft and slow, each word and sentence wrapped in endless affection.

His confession, in the end, didn’t provide a clear answer, because even he himself didn’t know the answer.

But even with just this, it was enough to move one’s heart.

It was genuine and heartfelt.

Under the bright red veil, the woman’s lips gently curled into a smile, and her eyes were already moist.

Was she any different?

When did she fall in love? She didn’t know.

She only knew that after he left, her days were filled with worry and longing, and for years, she had never once forgotten him.

Until they met again.

The moment he confessed, she didn’t resist, didn’t feel troubled, but instead, her heart skipped a beat.

Later, she vaguely understood, perhaps it was in the endless longing that the feelings had quietly bloomed.

Or maybe it had been even earlier.

In any case, she had fallen in love.

It was so natural.

Their relationship was like something destined.

Destined to meet, destined to love.

The woman was naturally emotional, and the three people in the room also had red-rimmed eyes, moved by such deep feelings.

But being moved was one thing. Although Fu Yuzheng had originally planned to play along and let them go, after hearing the man’s words, she changed her mind.

Outside the door stood the current Prince Regent of Nanling. How many people would ever get the chance to hear his true feelings?

It was probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make things difficult for him—he wouldn’t hold a grudge over this.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Yuzheng was about to speak again, but the man outside seemed to read her mind and spoke first. “Elder Brother is the first to let me go. Husband and wife follow each other; today, could you let me go a little easier, Elder Sister-in-law?”

Fu Yuzheng gasped, almost losing her grip and dropping the Xiao Maodou in her arms!

The King actually humbled himself and called her ‘Elder Sister-in-law’!

To someone who once called herself his servant!

He was truly putting everything on the line for Nannan!

With one hand covering her face and groaning, Fu Yuzheng turned to look at Shi Xianrou and Liu Muqiu. Together, they looked at Liu Yusheng. “Nannan, I’m sorry. We tried our best.”

The woman smiled faintly. “Sister-in-law, please open the door.”

She had never intended to make things difficult for him. Letting the others make a little noise was just following tradition, adding a little more joy and excitement to the marriage.
