Chapter 239: The One Who Moves First Loses

what about that imperial edict"“I couldn’t rest easy knowing you were here alone, so I came. Every word I said just now was from the heart, and as for the Emperor's decree, that is also true.” Qian T...After that, Ning Feng said to Ge'er somewhat awkwardly: "Ge'er, I have something else to do, I'll come find you later." 。Although he didn't want her to be alone with Mu Cang, he couldn't avoid it at the moment because of official duties. 。"Okay, Ning Feng gege, please be busy first." 。Mu Cang invited Xiao Yu Ge to his courtyard. After the attendant offered tea, they courteously retreated. 。"Ge'er, I really didn't expect you to come here to see me" 。Even now, Mu Cang still felt a bit unreal. After all, these days, he had dreamt of her countless times, but every time he woke up, he was disappointed once again. 。"I went to the palace yesterday and heard that you will be leaving soon. Since I didn't have anything to do today, and my injuries are almost healed, I came to see you." 。Her purpose in coming here is not just one. 。“Thank you!” Mu Cang hesitated for a long time before finally asking, “I heard that you refused the emperor's proposal of marriage. I want to know why Is it because I am not good enough, or...because of Wang Xiaoyao” He was reluctant to give up everything between them like this. She was the kind of woman who made people fall at first glance and wanted to possess her at second glance. He was the god of war in Tianzhu Kingdom, and in his eyes, they were the most compatible match. 。"No! It's not because of him! A-Cang, you are good, but you deserve a better woman. I am someone without tomorrow. We can be lifelong friends, but we cannot be husband and wife." 。“Xiao Yu Ge knew that there was no possibility between them, so she came today to make things clear. At least this person had a good heart and was a friend worth keeping. She didn’t want to lose such a friend because of this, not to mention that she wanted the Orchid Flower and would need his help in getting it. She couldn't push things too far.” 。"When a man from our land of India loves a woman, he loves her for life." 。"My dear, I love you!" This was Mu Cang's first official confession to her. Although he had rehearsed countless times in his heart, when the moment actually arrived, he was so nervous that he kept clutching at his sleeve. 。“Ah!” Xiao Yu Ge was stunned. She hadn’t expected Mu Cang to say it so directly. Were all the men in this Tianzhu country this passionate and bold in their pursuit of love"Ge'er, you can not love me, even reject me, but you can't change my heart. I know you have a lot of constraints, I am willing to wait for you, wait for the day you accept me." 。Don't worry, I'm not a hacker. I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. 。His eyes burned with intensity, his gaze fixed on her without hiding the passionate love within them. The one who falls in love first is destined to be the loser. 。He was a god of war, having won countless battles, but here, he was willing to bet everything he had, even if he lost utterly, he would accept it with a smile. 。To this, I'm happy. If not, it's my fate! But he doesn't want to accept his fate, he wants to fight for himself!"A Cang, we can only be friends..." Xiao Yu Ge's heart was a little messed up. Originally, when she heard Mu Cang propose a marriage alliance with the emperor, she thought he was just helping her, so that Hark wouldn't pursue her, so she would make such a request to the emperor, but unexpectedly, he actually meant it!It's over, if Qian Ting Xuan knew that she had another peach blossom outside, she estimated that she would get angry again!"Ge'er, the reason I said this is not to put pressure on you, please don't feel any burden..." 。My heart is drawn to you, and I want you to know my feelings. Even if you don't reciprocate them, my love for you won't diminish. Instead, I will strive to be better, to earn a little space in your heart. Even a tiny bit would make me incredibly happy and content. 。Although his heart ached at her silence, he didn't regret speaking his feelings. Wu Yan was right; if he didn't let her know how he felt, how could he ever win her heart 。Xiao Yuge raised her eyes to look at him. Unlike Qian Tingxuan's voice, his was low and gentle, making one's heart feel warm. While Qian Tingxuan's voice was domineering yet doting, it brought a sense of inexplicable peace. 。Perhaps due to years of fighting outside, enduring wind and sun, his skin was slightly darker, but it didn't detract from his dashing appearance. On the contrary, it added a touch of masculinity. He was tall and strong, with a dignified face and an air of bravery in his eyebrows. Especially the mole under his left eye, it was perfectly placed according to girls' aesthetic standards. A slight smile, like spring breeze, he could definitely be called a handsome man!It's just that, she had seen the most handsome man in the world, and at present, Qian Tingxuan was the most handsome man she had ever met. Therefore, she wasn't interested in handsome men anymore. 。

Their eyes met, and Xiao Yu Ge instinctively avoided his gaze. "I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, perhaps I appeared too late, your heart has already been filled by someone else, no room for others. But I won't give up, at least before you marry someone else, I still have a chance, so I won't give up!" His bright and upright eyes couldn't hide the sadness, but his determination remained unwavering.

"Stop, we're not talking about this anymore. I came here today firstly to thank you for your help, and secondly, I have something to discuss with you and need your help with a favor." 。Xiao Yu ge changed the subject, saying that it was too awkward to keep talking about love. 。"What's the matter I will do whatever I can, even if I can't, I will try my best." 。I have to say, what he said was still pretty touching. 。“I have a friend who was poisoned, and I haven’t been able to make an antidote because I’m still missing a few ingredients. One of them is the orchid...” Xiao Yu Ge had originally sent someone to the Heavenly Bamboo Kingdom's palace, but according to her people, only members of the royal family could get their hands on that orchid. No one else had any chance to approach it. The palace was heavily guarded, and her people couldn’t find an opportunity at the moment, so she wanted to ask Mu Cang about it. 。"Orchid" Mu Cang frowned slightly, as if there was something he couldn't say. 。"Ah Cang, didn't I put you in a difficult position If that's the case, then forget what I just said." 。"Playing dumb, always a timeless tactic." 。Mu Cang hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No, it's not like that, Ge'er. If you want anything else, I can immediately send someone to fetch it, but this orchid, though raised in the palace, is personally guarded by the regent king's own people. Even I don't have a chance to get close to it." 。"That's the orchid raised by the Regent" Xiao Yuge seemed to understand why she couldn't get close to the orchid. 。 "Well" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! 。Speaking of this phantom orchid, let me tell you first about the story of my country's Tianzhu Kingdom Regent and the former Saintess Shui Binglan... dare to say that!" The Emperor grabbed two scrolls and flung them at him. "When you were betrothed to her, you went after her sister instead. Now that your engagement is broken, you've gone back to h...
