Chapter 112: Unwanted Proposal

When Yue Mingxuan heard this, his eyes widened in surprise.

His heart that had been on a rollercoaster these past two days, startled again and again.

According to the experience he had gained from reading countless novels in his youth, this must mean…

Rong Tieshan was about to confess his feelings, right?

Hmm, Rong Tieshan indeed an impressive men.

He has handsome appearance, a good personality, and perhaps even he would become a future emperor of Beirong.

Wait, wait, wait.

Yue Mingxuan tapped his own head.

What was he thinking?

He was the prince of the Dongyue Kingdom.

He also someone who had terrible reputation because the rumor that he like to spend the night outside while he still unmarried.

If he wanted to survive a few more days, it was better not to get involved with these nobles.

Seeing no excitement in Yue Mingxuan’s eyes, Rong Tieshan’s heart sank.

She really wasn’t the same as before.

No one could wait in one place for him forever.

He hated himself for being blind and not appreciating Yue Mingxuan’s good qualities earlier.

Thinking this, he felt a twinge of bitterness. So, he said, “What happened before was my fault. I’ll speak to my father to restore our engagement. This autumn, I will marry you properly. Mingxuan, let me make it up to you.”

When Yue Mingxuan heard this, his heart immediately flared with anger.

Who did he think he was?

Did he think that saying he wanted to marry him would make him obedient?

How had he treated the original Yue Mingxuan who had given him his heart wholeheartedly?

If he had cared for him back then, he would never have been used and schemed against.

Now he came begging for his heart, for forgiveness, for reconciliation?

Sorry, his heart was long gone and he had fed it to the dogs.

Yue Mingxuan immediately took a step back. He then crossing his arms and with a faint ironic smile on his lips, he asked, “You’re not ashamed that I’m a fool who ruined your reputation? You’re not ashamed that I like to paint my face with terrible makeup? You’re not ashamed that I wasn’t considerate enough? You’re not ashamed that I stayed out all night and was accused of being with other men?”

He wasn’t asking for himself, he was asking for the original Yue Mingxuan.

Rong Tieshan propped himself up and pain flaring across his back and paling his face even further. He gritted his teeth and said, “Mingxuan, I believe you. All of that was just a misunderstanding.”

Yue Mingxuan smiled faintly.

This was exactly who Rong Tieshan was, he would rather believe every negative rumor about his fiancée was a misunderstanding than accept that his fiancée wasn’t perfect.

He didn’t love the original Yue Mingxuan; he loved the Yue Mingxuan he had imagined, and Yue Mingxuan was just a vessel for his fantasy.

Yue Mingxuan lifted his hand gently and for the first time, he removed his mask in front of someone else, revealing his extraordinary face to Rong Tieshan. “What if I told you… everything is real?”

Seeing Yue Mingxuan’s true face, Rong Tieshan was momentarily stunned into silence.

Having grown up in the Beirong royal family, he had seen all kinds of beautiful people, from the plump and graceful to the slim and delicate each with their own charm but he had never seen someone as breathtakingly beautiful as Yue Mingxuan.

After a few moments, he opened his mouth with some difficulty, but no sound came out.

Yue Mingxuan smiled faintly and gently placed the mask back over his face.

He didn’t blame Rong Tieshan, for when he first saw this face, he had been even more shocked than Rong Tieshan was now.

Rong Tieshan only now began to recover from his shock.

He closed his eyes in pain, knowing that no words he said now would make Yue Mingxuan believe him.

He was like a raw jade that slowly revealing her brilliance and when he had once possessed him, he had failed to treasure him.

Now, he faced the consequences.

The pain in Rong Tieshan’s eyes was not lost on Yue Mingxuan.

What he did now was only to make him give up hope.

The Yue Mingxuan who had once loved him had long vanished when he came into this world.

He could not occupy another person’s body while replacing someone else’s feelings.

So he decided to let Yue Mingxuan remain the perfect untouchable memory in Rong Tieshan’s heart.

It was the only thing he could do for the original Yue Mingxuan.

Since Rong Tieshan had already woken, his life was safe.

Yue Mingxuan glanced down at his wrinkled riding clothes and decided to return to his courtyard to change.

He stepped out of the room and instructed the attendant at the door to notify the royal physician.

He then took a deep breath and looked up at the sky.

The sun had just revealed half of its face.

“Today is a new day,” he thought while smiling and squinting slightly at the sunlight.

“Yue Mingxuan.”

A hoarse voice sounded from behind.

When Yue Mingxuan turned around, he found Rong Qinglei standing there.

Well, after deceiving him several times, karma had finally caught up.

At the hunting tournament, he had been caught red handed, there was no way to escape now.

Rong Qinglei stepped forward.

Yue Mingxuan was so startled that he took several steps back.

Rong Qinglei followed his pace, closing the distance until Yue Mingxuan was pressed against the wall.

Although Rong Qinglei was physically weak, his body was strong and well proportioned.

He planted one hand against the wall, almost enveloping Yue Mingxuan completely.

In the corner, the two of them formed a posture that looked undeniably intimate.

Yue Mingxuan cautiously tried to shrink back, but the wall was behind him so there was nowhere else to go.

His mind raced, trying to think of something to say to explain himself, but no solution came immediately.
