Chapter 1653 - 1653 Cold

1653 Cold

She had now choice because she was part of the royal family.

They were biological brothers, but they had reached the point of killing each other.

Of the two princesses, one had done something outrageous and sacrificed her life. The other was going to marry someone she didnt like. To be precise, she was going to marry a man she hated.

Qiao Nian recalled that when she and Gu Zhou came to eat, she hadnt seen Chen Qing. It had to be known that Chen Qing usually stayed by Gu Zhous side.

Wheres Chen Qing? Qiao Nian looked curiously at Gu Zhou, who was sitting opposite her.

In the back garden of the palace.

The sky had already turned completely dark, shrouding the entire palace in darkness. The surrounding flowers, plants, and trees were all hidden in the darkness. Only various small lanterns were hanging on both sides of the path.

In a pavilion not far away stood a girl in a long white dress. She was staring unblinkingly at the Queen of the Night not far away, completely unaware that someone was walking over.

Chen Qing stood on the path and looked at Lina in the pavilion. His heart gradually sank.

From behind , he could see the way Linas hair fell at an angle. Under the moonlight, she looked indescribably beautiful.

A gust of wind blew past, blowing up Linas clothes. Perhaps it was because Lina felt cold, but she hugged her shoulders and rubbed them gently, as if this would warm her up.

At that moment, a warm jacket draped over her shoulders. Linas heart jumped to her throat. She turned around and saw Chen Qing putting his suit jacket over her shoulders.

Seventh Princess, its cold. Chen Qing looked at Linas teary eyes and pursed his lips.

Lina subconsciously took off the jacket. After some thought, she handed it to Chen Qing and took a step back.

She stood in the wind, looking like she was trembling. Chen Qing frowned slightly, staring unblinkingly at her face. Youll catch a cold.

Lina stared unblinkingly at Chen Qing. Her voice was as gentle as ever as she said, Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen.

When Chen Qing heard this, his heart jumped to his throat. He looked at Lina in disbelief.

Mr. Chen?

She had never called him that before.

Im about to get married. Linas gaze fell on Chen Qings eyes. A trace of sorrow flashed in her eyes as she said softly, If my fianc sees me getting too close to another man, hell definitely be angry. Lets

Lina didnt speak. She glanced at the distance between them.

It was clearly only two steps away, but she couldnt reach him no matter how hard she tried.

The two of them could no longer be together.

When Chen Qing heard Linas words, he gripped his suit jacket tightly. His expression was still calm as he said softly, Im sorry for crossing the line.

Lina slowly lowered her gaze. In a place where the moonlight could not find her, a sad and helpless smile appeared on her lips. However, she quickly composed herself and said in a deliberately relaxed and happy voice, Thank you for protecting me previously.

Chen Qing naturally understood what Lina meant now. She wanted to draw a line between them. He said softly, Youre welcome. Its my duty to protect the Seventh Princess.

When Lina heard Chen Qings words, it was as if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest. She could barely breathe. She looked at Chen Qing.

Yes.

Previously, Nian Nian had asked Chen Qing to protect her.

Lina moved her gaze away from Chen Qings face sadly and looked at the flowers not far away. Her voice trembled slightly. Yes, the person I should thank, Nian Nian. I-Ill thank Nian Nian and Young Master Gu. I shouldnt

Lina looked up hard, not wanting her tears to fall. She pursed her lips and said after a long while, I shouldnt have misunderstood you. Youll dont have other feelings for me. Im sorry

Towards the end, Lina was filled with grievance and sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes and slowly fell. Her heart felt as if it had been pulled out of her chest by a hand. She was in so much pain that she wanted to die.

Im sorry Linas eyes were filled with tears. She slowly closed her eyes, unable to say the rest.
