Chapter 571: Chapter 571

Zhongli Wuzhi could tell these things to Chinian, which meant he had already let his guard down around her. He felt that Chinian was a great listener, a companion.

——"So what if tonight she asked to meet up with you not to get back together?"

Zhongli Wuzhi stared at that line of text; it was truly an eyesore.

——"Zhongli, if she’s not getting back with you, or if you don’t come to a conclusion tonight..."

Zhongli Wuzhi paused as he stared at those half-typed words on his phone screen.

——"I hope that you’ll think of me then."

Zhongli Wuzhi looked at Chinian, slightly astonished.

She, bashful and easily embarrassed, to speak out like that... he didn’t know how much courage she had mustered.

At that moment, Zhongli Wuzhi truly felt he owed something to Chinian.

——"I like it when you call me Xiao Qi."

——"Zhongli Wuzhi, I really do like you a lot." Fresh chapters posted on novelFirｅ.net

——"I know now that you have someone you really, really like, but I won’t give up easily."

——"Even though my heart is already bleeding with sorrow, I’m still holding on to hope."

——"Zhongli Wuzhi, if tonight, you and Lu Xiaoer come to a good resolution, then as M country’s Seventh Princess, I will definitely bless you! However... if after tonight you feel that you can’t go back to what you and Lu Xiaoer had... then please be with me."

——"Even if not now, I will definitely make you fall for me in the future."

Zhongli Wuzhi unconsciously swallowed.

He watched Chinian type away on her phone, her typing motions and the way she looked up at him were clean and crisp, with an unwavering determination, a kind of firmness that one simply couldn’t resist.

She looked him straight in the eye, and then, in the instant Zhongli Wuzhi was still dazed, she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek.

——"Now, give me back the black bracelet."

Chinian said with a gentle smile as she looked at him.

Zhongli Wuzhi swallowed again.

——"Return the bracelet to me, and then... when I wait for you to ask for it back, the next time I use this black bracelet to tie you down, I absolutely, absolutely won’t let you go again!"

——"What’s wrong? That look you’re giving me is so awkward..."

"Xiao Qi, you really surprise me."

Zhongli Wuzhi exclaimed sincerely.

Chinian’s cheeks turned red again.

——"Anyway, I’m taking that as a yes from you."

"For the esteemed Seventh Princess to demean herself , even if I wanted to say no, I can’t..."

Zhongli Wuzhi murmured,

"Can I take you home now?"

Zhongli Wuzhi took Chinian back to the President Mansion, and when he left, Chinian stood at the doorway watching him go, refusing to enter the house no matter how much she was urged.

She watched Zhongli Wuzhi’s car drive into the distance, her gaze drifting far, yet no matter how distant her gaze, it was filled with her characteristic determination.

Gray eyes... sparkled with an unusual light.

Song Lili, pushing Wen Qichen from the backyard, saw Princess Chinian standing at the doorway, staring into the distance...

Chinian came back to her senses and looked at Song Lili,

"Did Zhongli bring you back?"

Song Lili also agreed with a sound, not saying much more.

She picked up Wen Qichen and stepped into the porch, Chinian following behind Song Lili without saying a word either.

After entering the porch, Chinian greeted Song Lili and then went straight upstairs.

Song Lili and Wen Qichen stayed in the living room for a while, then went back to their room for a nap.

Wen Qichen fell asleep quickly and soundly, and just as Song Lili was about to doze off, her phone rang.

It was... a video call from Lu Xiaoer.

Song Lili was stunned for a moment, and not wanting to disturb Wen Qichen, she took her phone to the side hall.

After connecting the video, Song Lili was shocked by the image on the screen,

"What, what are you doing?"

Lu Xiaoer was wearing a strapless, tight-fitting dress that clung to her figure, and her expression was very conflicted.

"I... I’m trying on clothes."

"What kind of clothes are you trying on?"

Song Lili’s jaw almost dropped in shock.

"You’re just playing dumb."

Lu Xiaoer gave her a cold look. She placed her phone at a distance, and stood back herself, asking Song Lili seriously,

"How is it? Does this dress work?"

"Miss, can you tell me what you’re planning to do?"

"First answer me, does this dress look good on me, is it sexy enough?"

"... could you repeat that, sexy enough for what?"

Song Lili swallowed and asked again.

Lu Xiaoer took a deep breath and asked firmly once more, "I’m asking you, does this dress make me look good, is it sexy enough! Song Lili, don’t make me say it a third time!"

Song Lili could hardly stop herself from bursting into laughter.

"What do you mean by that?"

The initially spirited Lu Xiaoer, seeing Song Lili’s reaction, flopped onto the table, deflated like a ball with no air, listless.

"Aren’t you working today?"

"I took three hours off. Left work early."

Lu Xiaoer brought the phone close to herself and spoke in a dispirited manner.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Song Lili touched her chin, clearly about to provide her opinion on Lu Xiaoer’s outfit.

Lu Xiaoer immediately sat up straight, "Yes, tell me, I definitely want to hear the truth."

"Actually... it looks great."

Lu Xiaoer’s eyes immediately shone like a forest deer in the deep woods.

"Yes, although it’s very different from your usual style! But... it really looks good, and it’s very bold."

"I knew it, my usual look is just me not dressing up. When I truly get dressed up... in this world, I am the most beautiful!"

Song Lili, propping her chin and seeing Lu Xiaoer’s spirited appearance, felt genuine happiness for her,

"Now can you tell me?"

"Dressed so sexy and pretty, where are you going?"

Lu Xiaoer’s gaze drifted, but she still told Song Lili the truth, her openness left Song Lili feeling a mix of emotions...

"Lili, I’ve thought it through. I won’t regret. He’s mine, no matter what, he’s mine, and if he’s not, no matter what I do, he won’t be."

"Xiaoer, if you’ve made your decision, of course, I won’t stop you."

Song Lili took a deep breath,

"I hope that you and Zhongli will have a good outcome. I hope you can be honest with each other. Just be open about everything."

Lu Xiaoer nodded emphatically.

"You called me on a video call just to show me this sexy outfit?"
