Yu Qingwu's worries were not unfounded, but stemmed from her complex feelings towards Xie Jin Yan.

When she was young, she treated him as a younger brother. Later, she was disappointed in him, and even hated him. The moment she learned that Xie Jin Yan was the Crown Prince, she deliberately seduced him, attempting to use him to avenge the Shen family, yet she couldn't bring herself to do it because of their past reliance on each other.

Later, through his repeated protection, she developed romantic feelings for him.

But this affection was not pure. It contained conspiracies and mutual exploitation...

The human heart is the most complex thing in this world. Things change, hatred turns to love, so why couldn't love turn to animosity in the future?

In a short moment, countless speculations flashed through Yu Qingwu's mind...

Her face turned pale, her lips lost their color, and she clutched Xie Jin Yan's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving driftwood in a torrent, supporting all her strength.

Xie Jin Yan lowered his eyes, looking at the distracted woman in his arms, and felt very regretful.

Why did he say all this to her for no reason?

He lowered his head and gently kissed the woman's forehead, then took her hand and comforted her softly, "Shijie, perhaps that Qin girl is talking nonsense."

"Even if she really has the ability to foresee the future, these words are not necessarily true."

"As you said, she seems to have been targeting you from the beginning, trying her best to steal everything from you. So, even if she really has the ability to foresee the future, it is very likely that she fabricated lies to provoke the relationship between you and me in order to harm you."

That's right, it's not impossible?

Thinking like this, Yu Qingwu felt much more at ease, and her eyes calmed down. She pressed her head tightly against Xie Jin Yan's chest, feeling an unprecedented sense of loss, and said softly, "Jin Yan, I'm just afraid that what she said will really come true..."

"Even if it comes true, it is I who will die, and I am not afraid, so what is Shijie afraid of?" Seeing that she was still a little uneasy, Xie Jin Yan comforted her again, his eyes full of smiles, and his words full of teasing.

At this moment, that handsome face returned to its usual playboy appearance, as if the person who had been solemn and worried about the future was not him.

However, Xie Jin Yan's reaction made Yu Qingwu's mood even more complicated.

She could see that Xie Jin Yan believed Qin Yiliu's prediction by seventy or eighty percent. According to his usual ruthless behavior of rather killing a thousand than letting one go, upon hearing such a prediction and seeing those words come true one after another, even if he didn't kill her, he would never allow her to stay in the capital, and might even expel her from the Wei Dynasty.

However, Xie Jin Yan's reaction was to hide it, and continue to act as a loving couple with her as if nothing had happened.

If a moment ago, she still harbored vigilance and hatred towards him, now all that remained was emotional affection.

She raised her head to meet the man's tender eyes, and could no longer hold back.

"Xie Jin Yan, aren't you afraid that one day I will really take your life if you act so nonchalant?"

"After all, you also said that I hate you, and I don't have much true feelings for you. Everything I do is to survive, and to achieve my goals through insincere flattery."

Yu Qingwu bit her lip, looked at Xie Jin Yan's handsome and gentle face, and tears had already fallen from the corners of her eyes without her knowing.

Xie Jin Yan lowered his eyes, didn't answer, and just looked at her very gently.

After a moment, he raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks, and said softly, "Alright A'Wu, why are you shedding tears for no reason again?"

"You are talking about me, but look at yourself, so emotional. If I really change my mind in the future and really want to harm you, what will you do?"

His thin lips raised, and his eyes contained a hint of a smile.

While speaking, he reached out and knocked heavily on the woman's smooth forehead.

Xie Jin Yan's loud snap knocked Yu Qingwu back to reality from her sentimental mood.

She suddenly covered her forehead, frowning in pain, and glared at him with her beautiful eyes still filled with tears, "Xie Jin Yan! You hurt me!"

Her beautiful face was full of grievances, and she looked extremely cute.

Xie Jin Yan reached out and pinched her face, raising his eyebrows, "It hurts? Then I'm really sorry, Madam. How about I blow on it for you?"

As he spoke, he raised his thin lips and leaned over to blow on her.

The sudden warm breath, accompanied by those numbingly sweet words, made Yu Qingwu feel numb all over. She was immediately disgusted by Xie Jin Yan and took a step back.

She glared at him unhappily, "Xie Jin Yan, can you not be so disgusting?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin Yan chuckled, not only did he not restrain himself, but he became even more excessive.

"How am I disgusting? When I was little, didn't Shijie often blow on my wounds for me?"

"And always hug me and coax me? Why didn't you think it was disgusting back then?"

He looked innocent, and as he spoke, he was about to lean over and blow on Yu Qingwu's forehead again.

Seeing the man pouncing over, Yu Qingwu retreated even further, and her gorgeous face suddenly became hot because of his proximity.

"Xie Jin Yan, you..."

Yu Qingwu reached out and pushed hard against Xie Jin Yan's chest.

But how could her little strength be a match for Xie Jin Yan? In the next moment, she was pressed hard against the wall of the carriage by him.

Looking at the approaching handsome face, Yu Qingwu's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and she didn't dare to look him in the eyes at all.

"Shijie, I what?" Xie Jin Yan chuckled, his forehead pressed tightly against her forehead, his lips getting closer and closer...

Before Yu Qingwu could react, she was invaded by him...

The carriage was moving faster and faster, and the bumpy ride made Yu Qingwu a little unsteady. She closed her eyes, hugged Xie Jin Yan's neck tightly with both hands, seeking balance while responding passionately.

He slowly let go of her after an unknown amount of time.

Even though it wasn't the first time, Yu Qingwu felt a little embarrassed this time.

She shrank into the corner, her cheeks flushed, and she didn't dare to look Xie Jin Yan in the eyes at all.

Seeing her shyness, Xie Jin Yan didn't make things difficult for her, he just reached out and pulled her into his arms, and continued to talk about Qin Yiliu's matter as if nothing had happened, saying, "Shijie, I thought about it, that Qin girl has been targeting us repeatedly, maybe it really has something to do with her being able to foresee the future. However, we can't be completely sure whether she can foresee it or not. We have to find someone who is familiar with her to ask."

That's right, anyone who is familiar with Qin girl will more or less be able to discover her abnormality.

Thinking of this, Yu Qingwu immediately thought of someone.

She frowned, looked up at Xie Jin Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Does Your Highness have someone in mind?"

Hearing this, Xie Jin Yan nodded and smiled, "Of course I do. I didn't think it was necessary before, but now that I think about it, for peace of mind, maybe I should ask."

"Then Your Highness, who are you planning to ask?" Yu Qingwu asked again with an unhappy expression.

Seeing her expression, Xie Jin Yan saw through her thoughts, and said softly, "Shijie, you don't want to see Shen Ke again that much?"
