Chapter 507: 465 A legend that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, can it be believed?_2
Chiluo had a rugged appearance, but he truly possessed a masculine charm that was compelling to watch.
At this moment, standing so still and staring intently at Song Lili, she indeed felt a bit uneasy.
"Ha ha!"
Suddenly, Chiluo laughed, as if to break the awkward silence.
"President’s wife, you really have a great sense of humor. If you were thirty-eight, you’d truly be agelessly youthful!"
Song Lili quickly chuckled along,
"Your Highness Chiluo is the one who’s better at joking. You made me almost believe I really appear that old to others."
In the garden scented with the sweet fragrance of winter plums mixed with the chilly air, Song Lili and Chiluo discussed many topics.
The path was filled with laughter, the clarity of their voices evoking envy.
A thin layer of snowflakes landed on Song Lili’s eyelashes. She blinked lightly, raised her head, and suddenly noticed the air was filled with flurries of fine, thin snowflakes,
"They said it wouldn’t snow until two days later, so why has it started today?"
"This cold weather, snow falls as it pleases; even the heavens are whimsical."
Chiluo stretched out his hand and watched the thin snowflakes fall onto his palm,
"The snow isn’t heavy; it actually adds a bit of romance to the Lamei Garden."
Song Lili was startled for a moment, turned to look at Chiluo, quite surprised.
"Prince Chiluo also appreciates the beauty of flowers and snow, huh."
"Ha ha ha, do you see me as a rough man with a wild look and think I can’t appreciate delicate and gentle things?"
Song Lili found Chiluo humorous and straightforward, admiring and respecting him for his candor. She said,
"Heart with the might of a tiger, yet smells the rose delicately."
She picked a section of winter plum, with a few delightful snowflakes falling on it, adorning the warm yellow blossoms, and handed it to Chiluo,
"This section of winter plum is my way of apologizing to Prince Chiluo!"
Heart with the might of a tiger, yet smells the rose delicately...
Chiluo took the winter plum, recalling the eight clean and sweet words Song Lili had just spoken.
He gazed at her in the snow, her head slightly raised, her almond-shaped eyes clear and distinct, just like her personality—clear about love and hate.
"I accept the lady’s apology."
Chiluo replied with a playful look in his eyes.
Song Lili smiled lightly,
"Of course, this winter plum is too trivial for an apology. Lili will not forget, that day in Chuihai, my husband and I were cared for by Prince Chiluo, and you escorted us back to our country."
"Why bring that up again?"
Prince Chiluo sighed, "I came here for Wen Qichen’s full-moon ceremony, not to ask for any reimbursement after all..."
Song Lili raised her hand to interrupt Chiluo’s rushed explanation,
"Prince, don’t rush; I haven’t finished speaking."
"..."
Chiluo looked at Song Lili.
"My two comrades were also saved by Prince Chiluo, and you helped them return to our country, this counts as the second favor."
"Lady..."
"Yesterday at the President Mansion, my step-sister attempted suicide; you didn’t spread rumors and pretended not to see, which counts as the third favor."
Chiluo’s eyes slightly lifted, and he smiled gently,
"So, my lady was worried I would talk about yesterday?"
Song Lili looked down and chuckled lightly,
"Your Highness is not a gossip, my worry was purely thinking too ill of a good person."
"Since the lady has already counted this as the third favor, I’ll have to think twice if I ever want to speak out of turn."
"Chiluo, I hope to become friends with you."
Song Lili looked him directly in the eyes,
"You and Ah Nian have always been friends. I also hope that from now on, Prince Chiluo can consider me a friend too."
"I already consider you a friend."
Chiluo earnestly said,
"In the kingdom of G, it is not a male-dominant society. We have always enjoyed peace and prosperity. For a lady as beautiful as you, there are many opportunities, and with your intelligence, I believe you can succeed in anything."
"But instead, a lady who appears so frail and delicate chose to wear a uniform and become a Female Warrior. Chiluo deeply respects and admires that."
Song Lili smiled faintly, her tear mole below the eye like a black star, highlighting Lili’s uniqueness and personality.
"Should my lady need Chiluo’s help in the future, you must speak up."
Song Lili was taken aback, then sighed somewhat helplessly,
"Chiluo, you’ve really voiced the very words I wanted to express, making me quite frustrated..."
"Ha ha ha!"
Chiluo laughed heartily.
Song Lili extended her hand,
"Lili will always remember Prince Chiluo’s kindness. So, in any aspect, if Prince Chiluo is ever troubled or facing difficulties, do not forget the Wen couple from G country."
