Prince! The political conspiracy is not a play, the show is real

Chapter 242 Bet (Part )

"you're awake?!"

A voice sounded from the side, the tone was excited, and the speaker seemed very happy.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The man asked, and his words seemed to have magic. Tao Yao actually obeyed and did as he said. She moved her limbs and felt if there was any discomfort in her body.

But apart from a slight soreness in her shoulders, she didn't seem to feel any discomfort. Tao Yao rubbed her eyes, feeling the white mist in front of her gradually dissipate. Suddenly, a face that she hadn't seen for a long time and yet was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar came into her sight.

It’s Lu Che.

Tao Yao never thought that she would be able to meet Lu Che again, especially under such circumstances.

All the confusion and headaches vanished like mist in a dream. Tao Yao suddenly perked up, rolled over on the ground, grabbed the arms of Lu Che, who was sitting opposite her, and shouted, "Lu Che?! Is it really you?!"

Lu Che smiled on his dark face and nodded.

Tao Yao's heart trembled. She felt that Lu Che had darkened considerably, his demeanor much softer than before. During the days they'd been apart, she'd wondered what Lu Che's life was like, often worrying that he was still the same, tossing and turning day and night in pursuit of revenge, living a miserable life like a walking corpse.

But seeing him again now, looking at his current appearance, maybe he has been living well these days.

Unfortunately, she was in no mood to think about anything else now. Everything about Chu Huanjun came flooding back to her mind... She couldn't stop, she had to find Chu Huanjun first.

Tao Yao released Lu Che's wrist and whispered, "What happened? Wasn't I in Lord Song's car? Tell me the truth."

Lu Che seemed to have anticipated her reaction, but a hint of disappointment still flickered in his eyes. He looked closely at Tao Yao's face and said softly, "Nothing. It's just... it's just that he kidnapped you from his car."

Tao Yao paused, as if she couldn't quite understand why he did this. But before she could even ask, Lu Che answered, "But Song Zhishou didn't come after you either. So, there's probably no point for you to stay there... I said I'd take you away. It's just a matter of time."

"Lu Che, you bastard."

Tao Yao said this coldly, which scared Lu Che.

"I never said I was leaving," Tao Yao's eyes sparkled, as if she had already made a very important decision in her heart. "I didn't leave before, and there's no need to leave in the future. Between us... no matter how deep the bond between us is, from now on, there can be no more entanglement openly. Let's say goodbye. This is good for you and me."

After Tao Yao finished speaking, he stood up, dusted himself off, and was about to leave.

Lu Che quickly grabbed her wrist - a long time ago, when they were still very young, she always grabbed his wrist like this to keep him, but now it was the other way around, he wanted to beg her to stay, not to leave, not to go.

But Tao Yao did not react any further, she just gently covered his hand with her other hand.

Her palms were soft, but cold, and a little damp with sweat. He could sense her panic, but she still pretended to be strong, as if nothing had happened.

Her hand didn't linger for long, she just patted the back of his hand lightly, signaling him to let go.

Lu Che did not let go.

Tao Yao took a deep breath, pulled her hand out of his palm, turned around and was about to leave.

Lu Che then asked from behind her, "Why don't you ask me? Ask me how I've been doing recently? Ask me how I found you?"

Tao Yao smiled and shook her head, looking back at him, as if she had heard a ridiculous joke. She said sincerely, "Lu Che, I hope you're doing well. But no matter what, we're destined to walk different paths from now on."

Lu Che was unwilling to accept this. "Why? We are all children of the desert, sharing the same roots and origins. We walked the same path, so why do we have to walk two different paths from now on?"

"No, you're wrong," Tao Yao interrupted him firmly, adding, "I come from a wolf pack, and you were born among humans. How could we have walked the same path? You can call me ungrateful or heartless. You have to bear the hatred of the Moon Worshipers, while I just want to live a carefree and happy life, to choose the life I want. You and I are clearly two completely different people. Even if I am willing to walk the same path with you from now on, over time, you will eventually hate me. Hate me for not hating the people you hate, hate me for forgetting the hatred..."

As she spoke, Tao Yao suddenly felt that her words were too harsh and she couldn't bear to continue. However, she also felt that if she concealed her true thoughts from Lu Che, it might cause him greater harm.

Then, she continued to say the words that were difficult to say: "Perhaps we will never understand each other, so it is better not to meet."

After hearing Tao Yao's words, Lu Che was shocked. He never imagined that the Arnold of the past would become like this.

The Arnold of the past would never have said such cold-blooded and heartless words.

Rather than believing what Tao Yao said and believing that she had changed because of her experiences over the years, Lu Che would rather believe that she was possessed by some dirty thing, which caused her personality to change drastically.

Before he could come to his senses, Tao Yao had already walked out of the cave quickly. He wanted to get up and chase her, but her words echoed in his mind, making him unable to lift his feet, as if his whole body had lost all strength.

But Taoyao had just walked out for a short time when she immediately turned back. This place was in the wilderness, with only scattered trees and withered grass outside, and not even a path to walk on.

"Where is this place? Can you...can you take me away?"

Tao Yao suddenly regretted saying harsh words to Lu Che, and now she didn't know what to say to beg for mercy - unfortunately, she didn't have the guts to lose face for the time being, so she fell into complete embarrassment.

"I'm sorry... I just said something harsh. Can you please just pretend you didn't hear me?... Uh... Never mind. If you don't want to, forget it. I can leave on my own."

Tao Yao regretted so much that she couldn't help beating her chest and stamping her feet. As she walked to the cave entrance with her head down and looked around for a way out, she suddenly felt a gust of wind on her back.

Lu Che's voice came from behind: "I'll take you away."
