1473: She Did Like Lil Qi And It Was Not Because She Was Dependent On Him

She Did Like Lil Qi And It Was Not Because She Was Dependent On Him

"What happened after that?" Yaoyao continued questioning when she saw Ji'er refusing to speak anymore. She remembered how the ground was covered in blood when they got into the room and thought they had gotten into a fight. She looked incredulously at Ji'er. "Ji'er, even if Big Bro Lil Qi refused to accept you, you shouldn't be fighting with him. Such matters require you to go at it slowly and we need to long-term plan for this. You can't act in such a rash manner."1

Chang could only sigh helplessly when she heard this. 

Only Princess Yaoyao would associate the situation with a fight.

"I didn't fight with him." Ji'er looked at Yaoyao in surprise and with slight frustration.

She had been feeling terrible and moody, but when Yaoyao interrupted her this way, her moodiness seemed to flutter away. All that was left was a sense of helplessness. 

"What was with the blood all over the ground?" Yaoyao pointed at the floor as she found this baffling.

If the ground was covered in blood, things must have been much more serious than she had imagined.

Ji'er was too embarrassed to talk about how she kissed Lil Qi. It took her a while to finally say vaguely, "Lil Qi rejected me in his own way."

Yaoyao understood immediately when she heard this. She patted Ji'er's shoulder to comfort her. "Ji'er, this might have been too sudden for Big Bro Lil Qi, which was why he wasn't able to accept it immediately. You should give him more time." After all, Lil Qi had always treated Ji'er as his little sister. It was not difficult to imagine how shocked and astonished he was when Ji'er suddenly confessed her feelings to him.

Chang was slightly surprised to listen to the sisters' conversation. Even though she understood Third Princess' feelings, she was brought up by Lil Qi, after all. Lil Qi probably could not accept it when he suddenly heard Third Princess' confession.

Ji'er said a little pitifully, "Lil Qi won't give me another chance. He would definitely escape to West Water Frontier tomorrow."

Yaoyao was silent.

She had once overheard her parents talking about this by accident. Big Bro Lil Qi had left so suddenly five years ago to avoid any slander that might hurt Ji'er because he was worried a second Princess Man Li would appear and say terrible things again.

Now that Ji'er had grown up, there was even more reason for Lil Qi to keep a distance, especially when Ji'er had given him such a big 'surprise' upon his return. It was just like Ji'er had said, Lil Qi might probably leave the imperial capital immediately.

However, Yaoyao was very sad to see her younger sister looking so depressed. She asked seriously, "Ji'er, I'd like to know how exactly do you feel about Lil Qi."

This question caught Ji'er unprepared.

How did she feel about Lil QI?

A confused look appeared in her eyes.

When Yaoyao saw her reaction, Yaoyao sighed and rested her chin on her palm. She analyzed, "Ji'er, have you ever given any thought to the possibility that your feelings for Lil Qi are actually a sort of dependency on him? You have been used to him watching over you since you were young and in order to keep him by your side after you've grown, you want to use marriage to tie him down to you. For two people to be together, it has to be built on a foundation of love for each other. Your feelings for Lil Qi don't look like feelings between a man and a woman."

Ji'er was taken aback.

Did she like Lil Qi that way?

Her mind was filled with images of Lil Qi.

When she was younger, she did not understand the relationship between a man and a woman, which was why she was naïve enough to swear she would marry Lil Qi in order to make him stay.

However, she had never changed her mind after so many years.

Instead, she was even more determined every time she thought of Lil Qi.

This was especially so after seeing Lil Qi again. She was even more sure of her decision to marry him.

She was confident that she did like Lil Qi and it was not because she was dependent on him.

"I do have feelings for Lil Qi," she said softly, but confidently after a long time.
