Feng Ye Xuan, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly gritted his teeth and slammed his palm onto a table not far away.
The table instantly shattered into pieces.
Dust filled the air!
Chu Qianli looked at the muscles exposed on his body, every single one taut and trembling.
How unwilling was he to believe that his own mother could be so ruthless towards him?
"You don't suspect I'm lying to you?" This was somewhat beyond her expectation.
If she had known Feng Ye Xuan would trust her unconditionally, she should have told him the truth sooner.
It turned out that between them, there was never a lack of trust; it was just that neither of them believed in their own importance in the other's heart.
"Feng Ling used hypnosis on me, I've known this for a long time, but I'm certain that hypnosis alone wouldn't have such an effect."
"So, you've long suspected that you were being controlled by another power you don't understand?"
"Yes." But he couldn't find the answer.
In these past few days, aside from being injured and cared for by Hua Rong and Feng Ling, and aside from the intimate contact he had with Chu Qianli,
There was no one else who could have harmed him without him realizing it.
Chu Qianli said nothing more, her hand landing on his shoulder, pressing down gently.
Under her silent comfort, Feng Ye Xuan's tensed muscles slowly relaxed.
However, his heart still felt as if it had been pierced, aching deeply!
"She didn't intend to harm you, she just wanted to control you."
However, after saying this, Chu Qianli found it laughable herself.
To want to control him, wasn't that considered harming him?
As a mother, shouldn't one love their child with all their heart?
If she had a child, she would protect her child with her own life.
Why could Hua Rong be so heartless?
Feng Ye Xuan's palm clenched and then loosened, only to tighten again unintentionally.
He too had thought that no matter how his mother hit or scolded him, at least she wouldn't bear to truly hurt him.
But he never expected that there was actually a蛊 planted by his mother within his body.
"Heh..." Feng Ye Xuan suddenly let out a laugh.
A hoarse chuckle, filled with unspeakable sorrow and despair.
A trace of bitterness crossed Chu Qianli's heart.
She had told herself not to be moved by him again.
But seeing him so sad and desperate, she actually longed to embrace him, to comfort him, even to tell him not to be sad, that at least, he still had her.
He still had her…
But in the end, she merely lowered her eyelids and continued to apply medicine to his wounds from the beating.
The superfluous words were habitually swallowed back into her throat.
Having suffered countless hurts, she now dared not easily reveal her emotions to anyone.
Especially, in front of him.
She could never see through this man.
At this moment, he might be so fragile that he wanted to collapse into her arms, seeking comfort and protection.
In the next moment, would he not transform into the most heartless and cold-blooded executioner, severing the threads of affection between them with his own hands?
"Regardless, this blood蛊 won't cause you significant harm for now; perhaps you can endure it."
"However, Feng Ling's hypnosis combined with the blood蛊, I'm afraid it will truly damage your heart meridians, especially your brain nerves."
Well, he might not understand it if she put it that way.
Just as Chu Qianli was about to explain, she saw Feng Ye Xuan frown and say unhappily, "No wonder I get a headache every time I see her upset. Does that mean killing her would solve it?"
