Chapter 1371: Chapter 1370: Recently, Someone Has Indeed Gotten Carried Away with Pride

Feng Yexuan’s gaze finally landed on the bowl of ginseng soup.

But he didn’t take it.

He merely glanced at it indifferently, "Just leave it there. This Prince will drink it later."

Fen Ling’s heart tightened, and her eyes darkened slightly.

Yet her tone remained as gentle as the wind, "Ginseng soup boosts vitality. You’ve been so busy lately; drinking it will give you more energy."

"Mm." But he still didn’t take the bowl. Instead, he casually picked up a book to read.

Fen Ling glanced at the cover—it was a medical book!

Could Chu Qianli’s influence on him have grown to this extent?

A medical book?

When did he develop an interest in medicine?

Previously, weren’t books on military strategies always his favorite?

To say this had nothing to do with Chu Qianli—Fen Ling wouldn’t believe it even under threat of death!

That vile woman had infiltrated every aspect of Feng Yexuan’s life without a trace.

"Yexuan, you’re already exhausted. Now that you’re back, you should rest. This book... can’t it wait until later?"

Fen Ling could no longer hold back and reached out to snatch the book from his hands.

The moment Feng Yexuan saw her touch the book, it was as if something within him was suddenly triggered—his gaze turned icy cold in an instant.

Fen Ling jumped in fright.

Although he didn’t rebuke her, didn’t even utter a single word, the quiet, emanating chill from him, carrying traces of his internal energy, forced her to withdraw her hand immediately.

"Yexuan!" Fen Ling was so furious she almost spat out blood.

She had merely intended to take the book away, yet in his eyes, it seemed she wasn’t even allowed to touch it!

Fen Ling couldn’t help but blurt out her frustrations, "This book—was it another gift from Chu Qianli?"

"No." That damned woman wouldn’t even bother to send him anything.

This book... he had taken it from that damned woman himself.

If that damned woman were truly kind, he wouldn’t have been driven to fury multiple times, nearly coughing up blood.

"If it wasn’t gifted by her, then why are you still..."

"This Prince has matters to deal with. You should leave first."

Feng Yexuan intended to put the book down, but halfway through, he picked it up again.

He stood up, walked to his desk, and carefully stored the book away.

Afterward, he retrieved the recent letters sent by Leng Ji and began to slowly read through them.

"Yexuan..."

"This Prince’s patience isn’t as good as you think."

These words served as a reminder to Fen Ling that he was still the proud, aloof, and unparalleled Prince Xuan.

If not for his earlier belief that she was the one in his heart—replicating the patience and gentleness he had once shown to Chu Qianli—she wouldn’t have received even a shred of his kindness.

But now, she had irked him!

Feng Yexuan was starting to resent her.

Fen Ling lowered her head, biting her lip, her feelings in turmoil, desperately trying to calm herself down.

It seemed she had indeed grown too audacious, relying on the position Chu Qianli held in his heart.

"Yexuan, I’m sorry, I was wrong. I’ll leave now."

Lately, she truly had been too panicked, clearly under pressure from Chu Qianli.

The more important Chu Qianli became in Feng Yexuan’s heart, the more anxious Fen Ling got.

And as her anxiety grew, mistakes became inevitable.

The wisdom and composure she once prided herself on had completely vanished.

Fen Ling took a deep breath and approached Feng Yexuan once more.

Feng Yexuan’s brows furrowed immediately.

Before he could tell her to leave again, Fen Ling softly said, "Yexuan, I don’t mean anything else. I only wanted to bring you a bowl of ginseng soup."

"You don’t like seeing me, and once you’ve finished the soup, I’ll leave right away. But please, at least don’t reject my kindness, alright?"
