Zhu Zhuqing Confesses to Jin Lingfeng, Who Refuses, Then Qian Renxue Appears

After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"Zhu Zhuqing, I asked you out this time."

"It's because there's something important I need to tell you."

Immediately, joy flashed in the young girl's eyes, and she nodded excitedly, saying:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, what is it, you... you can tell me..."

As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head, her eyes full of affection, gazing deeply into the eyes of the man she loved.

But from her slightly pursed lips, it was clear that the young girl was extremely nervous at this moment.

Jin Lingfeng couldn't bear Zhu Zhuqing's affectionate gaze and quickly looked away.

He swallowed, but the words that came to his lips were ultimately swallowed back down.

Zhu Zhuqing is a pitiable girl. Must I really hurt her so cruelly...

Suddenly, the next moment!

Zhu Zhuqing unexpectedly threw her arms around the man she loved.

She said softly, her voice shy:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, Zhuqing... likes you. Can I be with you?"

After speaking, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled slightly. She couldn't imagine how much courage it took for her to say these heartfelt words.

However, the moment Jin Lingfeng was embraced, his pupils contracted sharply.

He clenched his fists, his body instinctively stiffening!

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

"No!"

"You've misunderstood!"

Jin Lingfeng forcefully pushed the beauty in his arms away, speaking with agitation.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the man before her with confusion in her eyes.

She murmured softly:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, don't you like me?"

"Now that I've confessed, you're pushing me away..."

The young girl felt extremely disheartened, after all, this was the first time she had ever confessed to a man.

Jin Lingfeng took a deep breath, looked directly into the beauty's eyes, and after a long pause, said earnestly:

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry."

"I've made you misunderstand."

"The reason I helped the Zhu Family, and helped you and Dai Mubai break off your engagement."

"Was simply to promote cooperation between the Martial Soul Hall and the Zhu Family."

"I already have someone I love, and we love each other deeply. As for you..."

"From beginning to end, I've only felt like a friend, not what you think..."

In an instant, the man's words fell into Zhu Zhuqing's ears, causing her to freeze, petrified on the spot!

Immediately after, a piercing pain rose in her heart, causing her immense suffering. Her eyes welled up, and two clear tears streamed down...

Zhu Zhuqing instantly burst into tears, covering her mouth with her jade hand, her gaze filled with heartache and unwillingness as she stared at the man who had opened her heart only to cruelly shut it again.

Her delicate body trembled violently, it was unimaginable the pain she was enduring in her heart at this moment...

For a time, the young girl's sorrowful cries were exceptionally clear in the quiet environment, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

Jin Lingfeng looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was weeping profusely, and felt very distressed. Although Xiao Wu had cried two years ago, she had held back and didn't shed tears in front of him, unlike the delicate Zhu Zhuqing...

Instantly, a strong sense of guilt welled up in his heart. Jin Lingfeng felt he had wronged Zhu Zhuqing, it must have been some action of his at some point that had led this pitiable girl to misunderstand...

"Zhu Zhuqing, I'm sorry."

"I..."

Jin Lingfeng instinctively reached out, wanting to gently pat the young girl's shoulder to comfort her, but before he could finish speaking, a familiar female voice came from behind.

"Lingfeng!"

These two simple words contained endless resentment, like a wife complaining about her husband's philandering outside.

Jin Lingfeng quickly turned around and saw a woman in a palace-style short skirt, hands on her hips, walking towards him with displeasure...

"Xue'er, why are you here!"

Jin Lingfeng said anxiously.

Qian Renxue had been disguised as Xue Qinghe all along. If her true identity were discovered, it would be a major problem!

The beautiful woman arrived in front of the man, glared at him fiercely, and snorted coldly:

"If I hadn't come, my boyfriend would have been snatched away!"

"Do you think I should have come or not!"

Jin Lingfeng felt extremely awkward.

He glanced at the pitiable Zhu Zhuqing, then at Qian Renxue, who was glaring at him with anger, and sighed helplessly.

He took his beloved girl's delicate hand and led her to Zhu Zhuqing, saying earnestly:

"Zhu Zhuqing, this is my beloved, Xue'er."

"We've been together for a long time, and we're planning to get married next year."

"So, I hope you can be understanding."

"A beautiful girl like you will definitely meet a man who cherishes you in the future..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Qian Renxue interrupted him coldly:

"Lingfeng, aren't things chaotic enough already?"

"Saying these things now will only make Zhu Zhuqing feel worse!"

"You, shut up!"

Jin Lingfeng was slightly taken aback, but when he saw Zhu Zhuqing crying even more sadly, he could only choose to remain silent.

"Lingfeng, excuse yourself."

"I want to talk to Zhu Zhuqing alone."

After a while, Qian Renxue gave Jin Lingfeng a look.

Jin Lingfeng nodded and said, "Okay."

He knew Zhu Zhuqing was looking at him wistfully, so he didn't dare to face her and instead walked quickly in another direction...

Zhu Zhuqing bit her lip tightly, about to chase after him, calling out sadly:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, don't go..."

But, the next moment.

Qian Renxue blocked her path, looking at her coldly.

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and saw a stunningly beautiful face, along with golden hair and a perfectly proportioned figure.

The woman exuded an innate nobility, and at this moment, she was looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a vigilant gaze.

Zhu Zhuqing then realized that this woman was perfect in every way, whether it was her figure, temperament, or appearance. Even she felt inferior.

Gradually, a strong sense of inferiority rose from the young girl's heart.

This was the first time in her life that she felt she was inferior to another woman in every aspect.

Immediately, Zhu Zhuqing's choked sobs broke the silence of the surroundings, creating a somber atmosphere.

Qian Renxue looked at the heartbroken girl before her, her tightly furrowed brows relaxed, her icy gaze softened, and she sighed helplessly.

She shot a hateful glare at the detestable person secretly watching them from afar, then reached out her delicate hand and placed it on the girl's shoulder, gently comforting her:

"Zhu Zhuqing, I know you like Lingfeng as much as I do."

"But in relationships, there's a matter of who came first. Lingfeng and I have been together for seven or eight years."

"We're getting married next year. I hope you can forget him, otherwise, you'll only suffer more."

Qian Renxue tried her best to remain calm and patiently persuaded her.

She was just an ordinary woman. Seeing her man entangled with another woman would naturally make her angry and heartbroken.

But Qian Renxue knew that if she threw a tantrum and argued with Zhu Zhuqing, it would only annoy Jin Lingfeng, and might even push him towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Unknowingly, Qian Renxue's love for Jin Lingfeng had become cautious, fearing that even the slightest mistake would cause her beloved man to leave her.

Therefore, even though she was extremely angry now, she was still holding back, hoping to persuade Zhu Zhuqing to let go and retreat.

Zhu Zhuqing looked into the woman's eyes, and with her keen perception, she noticed the hint of timidity in the other woman's eyes. Her gaze instantly turned icy and full of hostility.
