The Prince Wants to Assassinate Me Every Day-Chapter 823 - 407: Xiao Jinxing’s Heartlessness Toward Bai Mowan (Second Update)
"But I lied," Bai Mowan said, articulating each word slowly, as she faced the cold and aloof Xiao Jinxing, "I entered the palace because I love you, because I thought I could warm your heart, because I hoped we could return to how we once loved each other. I never intended to spend a lifetime like this with you; what I need is your equal love."
"That’s you," Xiao Jinxing replied, his tone cold enough to chill the heart, "What I said back then was true. There are no ties between you and me, including emotional ones."
"I don’t believe it!" Bai Mowan insisted, refusing to accept Xiao Jinxing’s words, "If you truly have no feelings for me, then why did you agree to let me enter the palace under the threat of my death? And why did you agree for me to bring my brother’s child into the palace to be raised, becoming your only Prince?"
Xiao Jinxing pursed his lips, about to speak.
Bai Mowan spoke passionately once more, "You do have feelings for me, deep feelings; otherwise, you would never have gone to such lengths for me! But it’s Ye Qichi’s death that you’re too guilty over, and that’s why you’ve been repressing your emotions! But five years have passed now, five years of mourning for Ye Qichi are enough. You should have your own life, a happy life, rather than a lifetime of regret for a dead man!"
"Bai Mowan!" Xiao Jinxing’s voice was frightfully cold and angry, "Ye Qichi’s matters with me are none of your business, and you have no right to interfere!"
"Your Majesty..."
"To me, your presence in the palace is no more than another token in the virtual harem, without impact on me!" Xiao Jinxing would not allow Bai Mowan to speak further, his voice cold as he continued, "Since having you here is of no consequence to me, but can repay your sacrifice on the battlefield, a win-win situation like this, why would I refuse?! As for bringing Bai Moyi’s son to the palace, it was merely because I don’t care about the harem. You can do whatever you like; nobody notices. So if you wish to have someone by your side, that’s your concern, not mine."
"You’re lying, Your Majesty!" Bai Mowan was unable to believe Xiao Jinxing would speak such heartless words to her.
Even in the past, when she volunteered to enter the palace, Xiao Jinxing hadn’t been so harsh.
"Even if all other concubines have accepted that you let me in the palace just to compensate me, devoid of affection, Xiao Yanqi is your only Prince, according to Daxuan Kingdom’s rule, he’ll be the next heir..."
"Did I give you too much hope?" Xiao Jinxing asked Bai Mowan.
His cold back turned, refusing to even glance at her.
"Bringing Xiao Yanqi into the palace was merely acknowledging that you couldn’t bear children, allowing you to have your brother’s child close by, after all, I can’t stay with you. As for the throne, you’d better drop that notion entirely now, or the outcome won’t be what you expect!" Xiao Jinxing threatened.
Bai Mowan listened to Xiao Jinxing’s icy voice, a deep pain enveloping her heart.
Everything she clung to, believing Xiao Jinxing still harbored feelings for her, was crushed by his deliberate words.
Does he truly not love her anymore?!
In the past life, he clearly loved her dearly.
How can he claim not to love her in this life?
She’s acknowledged her mistakes; she’s found her love for him anew; why does he reject her so decidedly?!
Bai Mowan felt at this moment, utterly miserable.
Has all her kindness, patience, and waiting over the years meant nothing compared to Ye Qichi?!
Nothing compared to a dead man?!
She was unwilling.
Unwilling!
In this rebirth, she’s had her revenge; she’s preserved the Bai Family intact; she’s achieved everything.
Cannot lose Xiao Jinxing.
She won’t allow herself any regrets in this life.
Xiao Jinxing said no more.
His patience for Bai Mowan had reached its limit.
Since Ye Qichi jumped from the city wall, all his indebtedness to Bai Mowan had been cleared.
In the end, his selfish choice to use Ye Qichi to sever all feelings for Bai Mowan happened when Ye Qichi and Bai Mowan jumped from the city wall.
Once Ye Qichi saves Bai Mowan, he redeems all his "obsession" regarding her.
As long as Ye Qichi is alive, he can focus solely on Ye Qichi, loving her without concern for Bai Mowan, making Bai Mowan utterly insignificant in his life.
As long as Ye Qichi can live...
Xiao Jinxing picked up the clothes from the ground, not glancing at Bai Mowan’s body, and threw them over her, covering her nakedness, then strode away without delay.
"Xiao Jinxing!" Bai Mowan called his name with a tearful scream.
Xiao Jinxing remained unmoved.
"I can no longer bear children!" Bai Mowan wept uncontrollably.
Watching Xiao Jinxing’s indifferent back, she felt she would break.
"I’m still a woman!" Bai Mowan screamed.
Her agony rendered her emotions uncontrollable.
Finally, Xiao Jinxing halted his steps briefly.
He coldly declared, "To me, there’s no difference."
Leaving this statement, he departed completely.
No pause or hesitation.
Bai Mowan lay on the ground, tears streaming down.
Her fists tightened with a force held to the limit, lest she surrender to insanity. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Xiao Jinxing!
Since in this life I love you, I must have you!
...
The next day.
At the break of dawn.
An Youyou opened her eyes.
She seemed to have gone to bed fairly early the previous night.
After a sound sleep, she felt rejuvenated.
"Princess, you’re awake." A palace maid approached, kneeling before her.
Princess?!
An Youyou felt perplexed, "Are you talking to me?"
"Yes, Princess, His Majesty instructed that now you have returned to the palace, you are a Princess," the palace maid hurriedly replied.
An Youyou was speechless, "...Who wants to be his daughter!"
"..." The palace maids were struck dumb.
"I’m getting up," An Youyou decided to ignore everything.
After all, surviving here is most crucial.
Her mommy had warned her before that if she ever got kidnapped, she shouldn’t resist, but flatter the captors, and wait for her mommy to rescue her.
Although she shouted yesterday that her mommy didn’t love her and wouldn’t come to save her, all was a show for that handsome, bad guy. She truly believed her mommy would come for her.
Just unsure of how long the wait would be?!
And this place, it’s so vast, lots of people.
She doubted her many years of escaping would ensure a smooth getaway.
Just as An Youyou was deep in thought.
A young girl in luxurious attire approached her, curiously scrutinizing her, "Are you the sister father brought back?!"
