The Cold-Hearted Princess Who Transmigrated Here

Chapter 46 To Leave or Not to Leave

Wang Xiyue's eyes widened suddenly. Just as her heart was in her throat, the man and the horse landed safely, and her heart returned to normal.

She stared blankly as the horse, which had run a few feet ahead to catch its breath, turned back and finally trotted over to her and stood still.

She looked up at the dark night before her, her pupils contracting. The image of swords and horses cutting through thorns and brambles suggests that his goal is Dongfang Yu's reign over the world.

Looking at the tall, aloof young man in front of her, Wang Xiyue thought that perhaps the sunlight was too dazzling, but she seemed to have seen a very special person like him before.

He was aloof and noble, dressed in black, and often seemed to be all alone in the world. Despite his formidable strength, he was filled with loneliness.

Dongfang Yu was very angry to see the girl in front of him staring blankly. How could she not care about him? She could even be distracted when he was standing right in front of her.

He dismounted and stood two steps in front of her, speaking solemnly, "Xiyue, I don't know what you're thinking, but protecting you is my lifelong wish and my lifelong responsibility."

He stared intently at her; he needed an answer now.

Wang Xiyue had already come to her senses when the young man dismounted; it seemed that her relationship with him was now merely one of being protected and the other protecting.

She and he were not related, so there seemed to be no need to say much. Seeing how stubbornly he waited, she reminded herself to calm down, then lowered her eyes and coldly replied, "Yes, thank you!"

Seeing Xiyue's indifferent tone and watching her leave without hesitation, Dongfang Yu felt as if her heart had been shattered into pieces. It was as if Xiyue had already categorized her as a stranger.

Could it be that their previous intimacy was all fake?

Does she want to leave him again?

Does she not want him anymore?

Just as Dongfang Yu was at a loss, Wang Xijie quickly came over and pulled him away.

Dongfang Yu hadn't figured out why he was being abandoned for no reason, nor did he have the will to break free, so he let Wang Xijie pull him away from the camp.

After confirming that no one was around, Wang Xijie didn't give Dongfang Yu a chance to speak and punched him directly in the face.

He hadn't expected to hit anyone, but the result was unexpected. Dongfang Yu's mask was knocked off, leaving several bloody scratches on Dongfang Yu's face.

Wang Xijie was stunned. Why didn't this person dodge? When he saw the blood beads forming on the wound on the man's face, he realized that he had probably punched him too hard. What if Dongfang Yu was disfigured and his sister was heartbroken?

However, he didn't care about anything else and threw a punch at the other side of his uninjured face. This time, Dongfang Yu didn't dodge and was forced back several steps by the punch.

Wang Xijie originally wanted to make another move, but seeing his distraught and pathetic appearance, he didn't want to take advantage of him.

Of course, he would never admit that he was afraid of being punished later.

He grabbed Dongfang Yu's collar with both hands and roared in a low voice, "Dongfang Yu, what exactly did you do to Yueyue? What caused her to have such a drastic emotional reaction?"

Dongfang Yu paused for a moment. He hadn't done anything. Could it be because of yesterday's hug? But at the time, he felt that Xiyue was angry, but more so shy.

Wang Xijie was even more furious at his shifty eyes, and finally warned, "If you don't confess honestly, you can forget about ever having anything to do with my sister again."

Dongfang Yu then realized the seriousness of the problem and had no choice but to tell him about forcibly hugging Xiyue yesterday.

Enraged by this, Wang Xijie threw a full-force punch at Dongfang Yu's right shoulder without any regard for the consequences. Dongfang Yu, who was caught off guard, was thrown off balance and fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

He didn't rush to get up, but instead continued to lie there in despair. He just couldn't understand why Xiyue suddenly disliked him like this.

Wang Xijie really wanted to beat the brat in front of him to death. He actually molested his sister and took advantage of her without thinking.

He stepped forward, grabbed Dongfang Yu's clothes at the chest, and pulled him up. He saw that Dongfang Yu was completely listless and dispirited, unlike the proud and noble prince who had just ridden in with high spirits.

It turns out that Yueyue wasn't the only one troubled by love; this dim-witted prince simply didn't know how to love. When it came to the person he liked, he only had a confused impulse and the fear of making mistakes.

Seeing Dongfang Yu repeatedly asking "why," with his eyes vacant, confused, and helpless, Wang Xijie had no choice but to believe that Dongfang Yu truly didn't know where he had gone wrong.

For his sister's sake, Wang Xijie had no choice but to do his best. He asked helplessly, "Dongfang Yu, do you know who you are now?"

Dongfang Yu lowered his head and snorted coldly, saying self-deprecatingly, "Who else could I be but Dongfang Yu?"

Wang Xijie clenched his fist. This brat was too annoying. He patiently raised his voice and asked again, "Think carefully before you answer. Who are you now?"

When Dongfang Yu met his brother-in-law's serious gaze, he began to think about the question carefully. If he wasn't Dongfang Yu, then who could he be? After a moment's thought, he understood: "I am now 'Dark Night,' Dongfang Yu's subordinate."

Wang Xijie breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully he wasn't too stupid: "Since you're just one of Dongfang Yu's bodyguards, how could you possibly like Yueyue?"

"As a subordinate, would you steal someone your master likes?"

"Yueyue doesn't reject your approach. If you maintain an appropriate distance, her affection for you will only grow day by day. Subtly, you will become an indispensable part of her life."

"As long as you don't go too far, she'll just see you as a very important younger brother, someone as important as family."

"When the time is right, you can reveal your true identity to her. I don't think she will make things difficult for you. She did like Dongfang Yu, but because you, as her brother, stayed by her side for a long time, she fell in love with you sooner."

"In other words, if you hadn't pretended to be the guy and had treated her the real way from the beginning, and had gone through a lot with her, she would have liked you too."

"Simply put, Yueyue likes someone based entirely on her feelings. No matter what your identity or appearance is, as long as you are close to her, she will like you."

"But now you are so eager for quick success and instant benefits that you have done such intimate things to Yueyue that you have crossed the line between family and friends."

"Because your extreme behavior has made her seriously consider the abnormal relationship between you."

"Once she understands her own feelings, do you think she would stand by and watch a servant like you become an enemy of your master, who is also a prince of a country, just so she can be with you?"

“Even if you’re not afraid, she will be. Yueyue knows that our entire Prime Minister’s Mansion will support her from behind. She’s afraid that Dongfang Yu will do everything in her power to deal with the Prime Minister’s Mansion. She’s afraid that her decision will bring the Prime Minister’s Mansion to ruin.”

"And you, a mere guard, have climbed to your current position with such difficulty. Would you willingly give up your fame, status, and wealth for her?"

"Will you regret it in the future when you have nothing? Will you hold a grudge against her?"

"Do you think she should like you or not?"

"If she likes you, it means that you and she betrayed and deceived Dongfang Yu. If she doesn't like you, it means that she won't like Dongfang Yu either."

“There is an even worse possibility: she may realize that your frivolous behavior will convince her that you don’t genuinely like her and that your deliberate approach is a deception.”

"If Yueyue has already made that decision, then I can only say one thing to you: Heaven's sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be forgiven."

"You bastard, you deserve to be alone forever."

"Dongfang Yu, you have no idea how much Yueyue cares about you, and yet you hurt her so casually..."

As Wang Xijie bombarded Dongfang Yu with questions, she gradually realized that her impulsive actions had caused indelible damage to Xiyue's heart.

"No...no, I didn't mean to hurt her. I just wanted to have her as soon as possible, I wanted to be close to her too much, I..."

Seeing Dongfang Yu's insistent denials and his helpless shaking of his head, Wang Xijie couldn't help but say a few more words. These were his true feelings that he dared not tell his parents.

“Yueyue has never liked to trouble anyone, including our family and the servants in the mansion. She can do things without anyone’s help.”

“Even when she encounters the most wronged or painful things, she is used to silently enduring them alone. Our family is not poor, but all I see in her is self-reliance and a strong sense of crisis.”

“Over the past ten years, although I have watched Yueyue grow up day by day, many times, even though I am her own brother, I don’t understand her. I don’t know what Yueyue is thinking or what she wants to do.”

"She was always so quiet, always liked to be alone and daydream. Sometimes when I saw her in the bustling city, I always felt that she was out of place with her surroundings. She was like a breeze, easily disappearing into the world in the next moment, as if she did not belong to this world, and this place did not seem to be her home."

"Dongfang Yu, do you know how eager Yueyue was to give you her Buddhist prayer beads the first time she met you? Do you know how shocked I was? Those were the life-saving prayer beads she had worn close to her body for nine years!"

"Those prayer beads were practically half her life!"

“I know that if my parents find out about this, they will definitely beat me up, but I still didn’t stop Yueyue from doing it. That’s because in the past nine years, I have finally seen how much she cares about an outsider, to the point that she would risk her life for him.”

"You may not know this, but Master Zhishang of Guozhao Temple instructed that this Buddhist rosary can protect her life for ten years. When she turns ten, I will have my parents send her to the temple to study Buddhism with the master in order to save her life."

"The master said that if my sister's emotions fluctuate too much and she loses control of her true nature, she may fall into demonic ways. She has a mysterious power that she herself cannot control. Once she loses control of her emotions, endless killing will be added to this world."

"Dongfang Yu, do you know? It was because your sister gave you the Buddhist beads that she fell into a nightmare and lost control the night you were poisoned. That's why your parents had to send her to the master in advance to save her life."

Dongfang Yu was heartbroken beyond words. He realized that the girl he had always cared about had sacrificed so much for him without his knowledge, and had also suffered many terrible consequences for protecting him.

He gritted his teeth, suppressing the tears that were about to fall, and turned to look at the grief-stricken Wang Xijie, sincerely apologizing, "I'm sorry! I was wrong."

Wang Xijie gave him a cold glance. "You're not here to apologize to me, you're here to apologize to Yueyue. But it might be too late for you to apologize now."

"Dongfang Yu, Yueyue cares about you just as much as you care about her. If you don't truly love only her, if you want multiple wives or are just playing around, then I advise you to get lost as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, if you provoke Yueyue and make her heartbroken and desperate, then you should be prepared for utter ruin."

Dongfang Yu got up, straightened her clothes, and knelt down sincerely in front of Wang Xijie: "Xijie, you know that Xiyue won't be truly happy without me, and I can't live without her either, so I need your help now."

"Please show me the way!"

Wang Xijie was so speechless by Dongfang Yu's words that he almost lost control and threw another punch.

Dongfang Yu is like a stubborn plaster that's stuck to him!

is it?

He's still a greenhorn himself, he has no experience in relationships, and he doesn't know how to get along with someone he likes!

However, the situation of his sister and Dongfang Yu is quite special, and he is the only person directly involved who knows the whole story from beginning to end.
