Chapter 90 - Real Desire
“That garbage is the only person in the world he can touch. Just kill her.”
Gu Yunjing’s eyes were icy. “Let me warn you: Don’t touch my people. I can destroy everything I gave to you.”
Nan Ningxin looked at him suspiciously. “Who exactly is she? Why are you so protective of her?”
“A talent that I have high hopes for.”
Nan Ningxin frowned. “Are you saying that you’re interested in her?”
Nan Ningxin didn’t quite believe that. That trash was indeed beautiful, but Shao Di was too honorable. She believed that only Prince Zi was his match.
“I’m only keeping myself occupied. I’m going to teach her. As a smart person, you know what to do.”
Gu Yunjing didn’t speak to her anymore as he returned to the temple.
If she wasn’t in love with Feng Qingtian and understood him so well, he wouldn’t need to keep her alive.
He was slightly uneasy about Feng Qingtian’s behavior today.
Were they really destined to meet each other?
Gu Yunjing looked at the sky, his hands clenched into fists.
Years ago, he had been defeated because of his prudence.
This time, he couldn’t afford to fail again.
“I’m afraid that Nan Ningxin has grown suspicious.” A shadow that had followed him for years appeared next to him.
It was Yu Can, his most loyal servant.
“It’s useless however suspicious she is. She doesn’t know that Gu Bailu is the one Feng Qingtian is looking for.”
If Nan Ningxin knew Gu Bailu’s real identity, Gu Bailu would be in real danger.
Nan Ningxin would do anything.
“I’m afraid that she cannot stop Feng Qingtian. Prince Zi has been acting strangely recently.”
“At least she can stall him for a while. That’s all I need.”
Gu Yunjing went to find Gu Bailu.
Feng Qingtian locked himself in his room for a long time.
He loved Nan Ningxin. He wasn’t supposed to have feelings for another woman.
However, he clearly sensed that he wanted to own Gu Bailu.
Was it because he had slept with her before?
Was he cheating on his love?
Feng Qingtian couldn’t accept the fact at all. He loved Nan Ningxin so much that he would give up everything just to be together with her.
He paid such a huge price to get what he now had. Why was he having second thoughts?
Was it really because his body couldn’t handle the loneliness any longer?
Feng Qingtian thought for a long time, but couldn’t come up with a reason.
He grew more agitated when he remembered Nan Ningxin’s sobs.
“Qin Shou, to the royal palace.”
Qin Shou was dazed. “My lord, is there anything important that you need to discuss with His Majesty?”
The emperor was cultivating in seclusion. It certainly wasn’t the best time to disturb him.
Feng Qingtian became grave. He recalled that the emperor was in seclusion.
Leaning back in the chair, he looked at a tree outside the window and recalled the encounter with Gu Bailu in the hot spring.
His body suddenly grew hot.
It was the biggest reaction he had had in a while. He sometimes even had such dreams at night.
He wanted to have Gu Bailu. The desire was unquestionable.
He thought about her even if he didn’t see her.
When he saw her in somebody else’s arms, he was so infuriated, as if he had been betrayed.
He had had the same feeling before. In their previous life, he couldn’t stand Nan Ningxin talking to any other man. He even wanted her eyes to be fixed on him all the time.
