His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 529: Awaken

It was a dark night in a secret room in a courtyard of the Hai City.

Huo Li Ruo stood with his head down. Opposite him sat a middle-aged man with a wild temperament, tall and vigorous. He was Great Emperor Wen Huo.

“Li’er, the jade piece in Yu Qing Qian’s hand is the key to the Land of Imprisonment. You must seize it when the opportunity arises, do you understand?” Great Emperor Wen Huo’s figure flickered under the light, and there was slight force in his voice.

Huo Li Ruo’s expression couldn’t be seen clearly in his eyes with his head down. He didn’t reply and remained silent.

“Li’er, you have feelings for Yu Qing Qian, that’s nothing. Emotional matters are the most difficult to control in the world.” Great Emperor Wen Huo said: “But you shouldn’t give up your beliefs and grand plans for emotional matters.”

After a while, Huo Li Ruo said in a slightly hoarse voice: “I don’t know what beliefs and grand plans, why can’t we just live in peace?”

[PA!] A sound of a slap was particularly prominent in the quiet secret room.

Huo Li Ruo’s lowered head also tilted to the side, but he still stood there unmoving, with an obscure look.

“Li’er, you disappoint your father.”

Huo Li Ruo raised the corner of his lips, his voice sombre and self-deprecating, “You’ve never had any expectations for me since I was a child right. From the beginning to the end, I’m just a pawn. If it weren’t for my good luck, I would’ve died in the hands of that step-empress and those brothers.”

Although he knew that Great Emperor Wen Huo was just watching to sharpen himself, and his admiration had never changed, but Huo Li Ruo felt wronged right now, as if he had been suppressed for many years and was about to explode.

“Li’er, is this how you see your father?” There was slight anger in Great Emperor Wen Huo’s voice, “For so many years, the training and education I gave you have been thrown to feed the dogs.”

Huo Li Ruo didn’t speak again and remained silent.

Seeing Huo Li Ruo like this, Great Emperor Wen Huo slapped the table in front of him, and the table made of crystal instantly turned into powder.

“I’ll ask you one last time, will you snatch it or not.”

“I won’t do anything to her.” Huo Li Ruo said stubbornly.

Great Emperor Wen Huo laughed in anger, “Very good, you’re truly worthy of being this Emperor’s son. You can go out.”

Huo Li Ruo hesitated, clenched his hands, then released them, and finally turned around to leave.

Just as he walked to the door of the secret room, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him. He turned around upon sensing something, and a blood-red light suddenly sank into the middle of his forehead.

Then his gaze became jaded, and he finally fainted to the ground, curled up, as if he was experiencing something painful.

It was too late for Great Emperor Wen Huo to stop it. He looked at the shadow with sinister eyes, “You’ve overstepped.”

“His memory must be unlocked one day. Wen Huo, you’re the one who has overstepped.” The black shadow’s voice was a little deep, “For more than a decade, you didn’t truly treat him as your son right. You truly are brave.”

“The fact that he has my blood in his body will not chance.” Great Emperor Wen Huo held his head in defeat and pain. After a long time, he said: “From now on, I will adjust my mentality.”

He knew that once his memory was unlocked and returned, his son would no longer be the same Huo Li Ruo.

“Very good, I hope you know the difference between a superior and junior. I don’t want to see such a slap in the face again.” The black shadow warned.

Great Emperor Wen Huo didn’t know whether he was being self-deprecating or being sarcastic, “Do you think that he’ll let me slap him after he awakens? From now on, I am no longer his father, and I am not qualified to discipline him anymore.”

“As long as you understand. I believe that he will make his own decisions after awakening. Don’t interfere anymore.”

The black shadow paused, then sighed: “In the end, you have carefully raised him for so many years. You should quickly get rid of the father-son feelings as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences won’t be something you can bear.”

“I know.” Great Emperor Wen Huo replied after a long time, and by then, the black shadow had disappeared.

In a gorgeous palace, a young man in red with an obscure face slowly opened his eyes. At the same time, Huo Li Ruo also suddenly awoke.

When he opened his eyes again, there was only complexity and coldness in his gaze.
