His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 455: Sparks

Chi Mo Ran also noticed the sparks between Feng Chen and Huo Li Ruo, and agreed with his little sister’s actions.

Yu Qing Qian still cared about Huo Li Ruo, a friend who had hung with her for several years, “If you want to drink, let’s go together, we’re also going to have dinner.”

“Sure! It’s been a long time since we met, I want to drink with you until we’re drunk.” Huo Li Ruo regained his cynical smile, hiding the discomfort and gloom in his heart.

It was only when he entered the Imperial Academy that he gradually realised that his feelings for Yu Qing Qian weren’t as simple as comrades and close friends, but that he had fallen for her.

He was originally in seclusion this time, but when he heard that the mission experience was with the Holy Academy, he agreed to his Master that he’d participate. Training was one thing, but he wanted to see Yu Qing Qian more.

However, he didn’t expect that Feng Chen would be a step ahead of him. He should’ve known that Yu Qing Qian had a different attitude towards Feng Chen, but now it was useless to think about it.

As long as he still wanted to be by Yu Qing Qian’s side, then he couldn’t reveal that feeling of love to maintain their friendship, otherwise he’d definitely be distanced.

Yu Qing Qian chuckled and said: “Forget about that with your alcohol intolerance.”

Huo Li Ruo pursed his lips, “I’ve trained my drinking capacity for a long while now, if you don’t believe me, let’s compete later.”

The two joked, as if they had returned to the days when they fought side by side like comrades in the academy.

Feng Chen’s lips curled up slightly. It seemed that Huo Li Ruo had realised his own feelings, but it was too late.

From the moment he and Yu Qing Qian met when they were children to the time they met again in the Holy Academy, plus the silent attention over the years, he would never let go of Yu Qing Qian’s hand.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they asked for a private room. Huo Li Ruo ordered a few pots of strong liquor and drank with Yu Qing Qian.

Feng Chen and Chi Mo Ran preferred to drink lighter wine, so they didn’t join their drinking contest.

Huo Li Ruo picked up a big bowl and said: “I heard that you shined in the challenge of the Holy Academy, and your name as Great Demon King spread throughout the Holy Academy.”

“You’re well-informed.” Yu Qing Qian also picked up the big bowl and drank it.

Huo Li Ruo smiled devilishly and said jokingly: “You’re a woman, but now you’re called a Great Demon King. How can you get married in the future?”

Before Yu Qing Qian spoke, Feng Chen smiled faintly and said: “Qian Qian will naturally marry me in the future. The title of Great Demon King is very good.”

Huo Li Ruo choked. He found that Feng Chen, this cold and indifferent fake celestial could now choke people. Indeed, was he infected by spending too much time with Yu Qing Qian?

Yu Qing Qian laughed aloud, “Did you hear that, Sick Beauty won’t dislike me.”

Huo Li Ruo shrugged and joked: “Young Master Chi and I are still single, you’re both showing off deliberately.”

Yu Qing Qian raised an eyebrow and teased: “Who can you blame for being single? Otherwise with your talent and background, there’d be many women throwing themselves at you.”

“Forget it, I’m not interested in them.” Huo Li Ruo said disdainfully, and added inwardly, ‘those people weren’t you.’

However, after a year of training in the Imperial Academy, Huo Li Ruo had become adept at controlling his emotions. He knew that the two got along like this tacitly, without any meaning to deliberately show off—it was just that he, himself, felt sour.

“Come, come, drink.” Yu Qing Qian wouldn’t ask about Huo Li Ruo’s feelings. They were only close friends.

The two drank one bowl after another, very satisfied.

Feng Chen didn’t stop them either. He should at least let Huo Li Ruo vent his emotions. As long as he didn’t covet his Qian Qian in the future, it’d be fine. As for being close friends, he had no objection.

Note: Sorry for the late post! Been a bit busy. Two chapters today, and at least 2 chapters of PMIW will be coming sometime in the following week. Thanks for your patience~
