Chapter 388 That scoundrel will not be forgiven.
The night was as dark as ink. Outside Qiu Ziyue's house, moonlight filtered through the shadows of the trees and spilled into the courtyard.
A servant was standing guard outside the door when he suddenly heard Qiu Ziyue's voice coming from inside the house.
Startled, she quickly asked in a soft voice:
"Your Highness, what's wrong? Is there anything you need to tell me?"
Qiu Ziyue paused for a moment, then answered in a calm tone:
"It's nothing, a stray cat just wandered in, I've already chased it away."
Although her voice was calm, it couldn't hide a hint of weariness and helplessness.
The servant didn't think much of it, respectfully responded, and then remained silent, continuing to stand guard.
However, the moment the servant turned around, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Qi Yuxuan's figure disappeared into the shadows once more, his eyes filled with complex and profound emotions.
He gently extended his finger and touched Qiu Ziyue's neck, instantly sealing her speech acupoint.
Qiu Ziyue was speechless and could only watch helplessly as he approached her.
"Twilight Sparkle..."
Qi Yuxuan lowered his voice, his tone tinged with bitterness and apology.
“That old fox Zhu Wen used a divisive tactic and wrote me a letter in your handwriting.”
The letter said that you had long regarded me as an elder brother and had developed feelings for Li Cunxu.
I was blinded by anger at the time, that's why I treated you that way... Actually, I've always still loved you.
His voice was deep and sincere, as if every word had been carefully considered.
After saying this, he suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qiu Ziyue tightly, giving her no chance to refuse.
Then, he lowered his head and slowly kissed her soft lips.
The kiss gradually turned from gentle to frantic, as if it wanted to pour all the longing, guilt, and desire into it.
Qiu Ziyue's pressure points were sealed, leaving her body stiff and unable to move, so she could only let the other person kiss her.
But two lines of clear tears welled up in her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and shimmering with a crystal-clear light.
Qi Yuxuan pleaded in a low voice:
"Please forgive me, okay? I know I was wrong..."
Just then, the maid's voice rang out again from outside the door, breaking the silence inside the room.
"Your Highness, I think I heard someone talking inside the room just now. Has something happened, Your Highness?"
The maid asked twice, her tone clearly showing concern.
Qi Yuxuan frowned slightly, realizing that he could not delay any longer.
He quickly reached out and released Qiu Ziyue's pressure points, while whispering:
"Twilight Sparkle, I will come again."
Before he finished speaking, he flashed like a black gust of wind across the window and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Even after Qiu Ziyue regained her mobility, she remained standing there in a daze.
She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze revealing complex emotions—
There was anger, resentment, and an indescribable struggle.
The maid outside the door was still anxiously waiting for a response.
But her mind was in turmoil because of everything that happened that night.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself, and spoke to the maid outside in as calm a tone as possible:
"It's nothing, that stray cat came again, and I chased it away again. Go to sleep, it's really nothing."
Her voice sounded tired, yet it conveyed a sense of determination.
The maid felt somewhat relieved after hearing the response.
Without asking any further questions, he quietly withdrew, his footsteps gradually fading into the night.
Once the courtyard returned to silence, Qiu Ziyue could no longer suppress the turmoil in her heart, and tears streamed down her cheeks like broken pearls.
She kept wiping her lips with both hands, as if trying to completely erase the feeling of the kiss.
"I will never forgive you! You shameless scoundrel!"
She muttered curses under her breath, her voice filled with anger and resentment.
Do you think I'll soften my heart just because you say a few kind words?
Hmph, dream on! You domestic abuser, I will never let you get away with this easily.
This time I'm divorcing you, and I'll never look back!
The moonlight shone on her, reflecting her complex emotions at that moment.
She was both indignant at Qi Yuxuan's arrogance and heartbroken that he would misunderstand her so blatantly.
However, what I felt most was disappointment and despair after being slapped.
Qiu Ziyue gritted her teeth and secretly vowed to get a divorce.
She turned her back to the window, unwilling to recall what had just happened.
I just hope time will pass quickly so that all of this will be a thing of the past as soon as possible.
The following morning, sunlight filtered through the thin gauze and spilled into every corner of the Prince Jin's residence, bringing a touch of warmth.
Qiu Ziyue's maid quietly entered Li Cunxu's bedroom.
He whispered to Qiu Ziyue that it seemed like someone was talking in her room last night.
After listening, Li Cunxu frowned slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
He remained silent for a moment, then waved his hand, signaling the maid to leave.
Not long after, Qiu Ziyue came to visit Li Cunxu in person.
She inquired about his injuries with concern, her words filled with care and worry.
Looking into her gentle gaze, Li Cunxu felt a surge of emotion and said:
"Twilight Sparkle, you are the princess, move in with me. I am seriously injured this time and need your care."
Qiu Ziyue smiled slightly after hearing this and replied:
"I was just about to say that. I'm thinking of moving in with you tonight and taking good care of you."
Upon hearing this, a look of joy flashed in Li Cunxu's eyes, and he was filled with anticipation for the future.
However, when night fell and Qi Yuxuan returned to Qiu Ziyue's room, he found it empty and deserted.
He stood there, looked around, and realized that Qiu Ziyue was clearly not going to forgive him easily.
In an instant, his mood plummeted as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and a wave of despair washed over him.
He silently turned and left, his back looking particularly lonely and desolate in the moonlight.
As night deepened, Qiu Ziyue quietly entered Li Cunxu's room.
The room was luxuriously and warmly furnished, with a large, soft bed against the wall, while Li Cunxu slept peacefully on a soft couch next to it.
Since moving in with him, Qiu Ziyue has always taken meticulous care of his daily life without ever getting annoyed.
Every night, she would tidy his bedding, serve him hot tea, and frequently inquire about his health, showing him great care.
Tonight, Qiu Ziyue sat by the bed, looking at Li Cunxu's slightly haggard face, and felt a pang of pity.
She spoke softly:
"Cunxu, I've made up my mind... Once Yuxuan signs the divorce papers, I'll become your true queen, okay?"
Though spoken softly, the words were full of deep affection, as if all expectations and promises were poured into them.
Li Cunxu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then his eyes flashed with undisguised surprise and emotion.
He sat up abruptly, pulled Qiu Ziyue into his arms, his voice trembling slightly:
"Really? Twilight Sparkle, you're willing..."
His tone was filled with unbelievable joy.
"I will definitely treat you well, and I will never let you down in this life!"
Qiu Ziyue nestled in his arms, feeling the warmth he emanated, and a faint smile appeared on her lips:
"I believe you."
At that moment, their hearts seemed to draw closer together.
Then, Qiu Ziyue gently pulled away from his embrace, patted Li Cunxu's shoulder, and said softly:
"Alright, go and rest now. Getting better is the most important thing."
Li Cunxu gazed at her retreating figure, his eyes filled with love and gratitude.
Even during a brief separation, he couldn't bear to look away.
