Chapter 270: Ripples of the Hear (1/2)

“I heard from Elder Li that he spoke to you about me inviting him to offer assistance. I hope you will not feel that I am a busybody and I’m here to explain myself.” Pei Qingfeng spoke sheepishly.

Bai Luochu raised her brows in response and spoke unhurriedly, “Why do you need to explain yourself? Back when Elder Li offered his assistance, I already suspected that you were behind all that. Right now, I merely confirmed my guess. Since you have helped me out, how can I turn around and bite the hand that helped me? I definitely can’t do that. Then again, you shouldn’t blame Elder Li for doing things without your approval. He told me because he wanted me to know the things you have done for me. He also wants me to know that you went through a lot of trouble for my sake. He is a senior that is genuine and sincere in his feelings. Even if you feel embarrassed, don’t vent your anger on him.”

Pei Qingfeng was rather stunned after hearing Bai Luochu’s explanation. As it turned about, she was never angry at him. He was getting upset over nothing for the past few days. Not only did she guess Elder Li’s intention, but she had also guessed his attitude towards Elder Li afterwards. Pei Qingfeng’s valuation of Bai Luochu went even higher. Originally, he thought that she was only a bookworm that had great medical skills, and was a person who was overly serious and couldn’t fathom people’s feelings. From the looks of it now, it wasn’t completely accurate.

Then... does she know about my feelings for her?

Once a thought emerged in the mind, it would experience rapid growth and become a massive tree. Right now, Pei Qingfeng ignored the consequences and asked, “Do you know my intention for going through all those troubles?”

This time, it was Bai Luochu’s turn to be dumbstruck. Bai Luochu might have destroyed her view on love in her previous life, but it didn’t mean that she couldn’t sense other people’s feelings. The way Pei Qingfeng looked at her was how a man would look at the woman he adores. Bai Luochu initially thought that she should ignore it. After all, Pei Qingfeng was an imperial prince. Sooner or later, his enthusiasm would wear off.

But Bai Luochu didn’t imagine that since the moment Pei Qingfeng agreed to let her check his pulse, she was destined to be someone different to him. Bai Luochu’s ignorance had actually given Pei Qingfeng hope, causing the look in his eyes to grow more and more intense. During the trip to Falling Cloud Mountain Range, when Pei Qingfeng blocked the fatal attack for Bai Luochu, she was emotionally moved. However, she quickly suppressed it.

When Bai Luochu convinced herself, she smiled and replied, “I naturally understand. Your Second Highness fancy my medical skills and wants me to remember your favor and to expel the poison array in your body. Your Second Highness doesn’t have to worry, I, Luo Chu, always repay the kindness offered to me. I thank Your Second Highness for the trouble.”

Pei Qingfeng could easily see that she was brushing him off. He knew that she was trying to escape. She was trying to avoid his questions and most importantly, she was trying to avoid her feelings.

However, Pei Qingfeng suddenly rejoiced. Even if Bai Luochu was trying to escape now, it was much better than her personally rejecting him. If it was a rejection, there would be no more possibility, from the looks of it, there seemed to be hope, right?

Pei Qingfeng smiled as his thoughts ran wild. He was a carefree prince and had plenty of time, he was able to wait. He had a long life ahead and he could spread his net and wait for Bai Luochu to willingly give herself up.
