The Phoenix Arises

Chapter 40 . 3: Contented Having Him In This Life 

“At that time, Your Highness had gone missing for over a year, Yun Han thought that Your Highness had… . . then my parents forced me to succ.u.mb to the proposal of Heir Qing . Now that Heir Qing is no longer among the living, would Your Highness forgive Yun Han this one time and give Yun Han one more chance?”

Si Yun Han’s eyes glistened with tears as he looked at her pleading in earnest .

His words baffled her even more .

Whether or not he accepted the proposal of Heir Qing, what did that have to do with her? He wanted her to forgive him?

Seeing Duanmu Xi’s forehead creasing, Si Yun Han thought that she didn’t forgive him and he became even more anxious .

“Your Highness, Yun Han sincerely admires Your Highness . Please take our relationship into account . Since we grew up together from young, can you please give Yun Han another chance? Yun Han doesn’t request for the main position . I just want to accompany you by your side, even if it is a slave, Yun Han is also willing . ”

The moment he revealed his heart, the tears in his eyes trickled down .

When Xuanyuan Mo who was behind the rockery heard the words of Si Yun Han, a burst of sourness filled his heart .

It turned out that this young master was a childhood friend .

How will Little Xi answer him?

Xuanyuan Mo’s palms started to sweat profusely and even his breathing became very light .

At this time, Duanmu Xi finally understood the situation .

This man grew up with the original Duanmu, and perhaps they had a mutual affection .

But she was not the original Duanmu and did not have a sliver of feelings for him so she would definitely not accept him .

“Sorry, I can’t accept you . ”

Each and every word spoken coldy brought Si Yun Han into the cold abyss .

“Why?”

Why did she not even accede to such a humble request of his?

Duanmu furrowed her brows and looked annoyed at him .

“There is already someone in this Highness’ heart . It’s better that you give up this thought . ”

Duanmu Xi said that curtly and immediately turned and left, not even sparing him another glance .

“But Your Highness is the Crown Princess, how can you only have him alone?”

He did not ask to be the Empress, he just wanted to stay by her side, nothing more .

When she heard his question, Duanmu stopped in her tracks but did not look back .

“In this life, he alone is enough . ”

Her voice was very soft, very soft like whispering to herself and she did not care whether or not Si Yun Han heard her as she continued walking and left .

Si Yun Han staggered a few steps back and fell to the ground with all the colour drained from his face . Obviously, he heard her answer and knew that he no longer had a chance .

On the other hand, Xuanyuan Mo who was behind the rockery tasted sweetness .

Although Duanmu Xi’s words were just a few simple words, but these few words made him feel extremely fortunate and blessed .

Crown Princess’ Eastern Palace

Zi Wan and Zi Yan were slightly stunned when they saw Duanmu Xi appear before them .

The banquet dinner of Her Highness should not be over yet . Why did Her Highness come back so early?

Despite their inner doubts, the two of them walked quickly to her side and bowed .

“Your Highness . ”
