"Why is it you?" Dan Xueyao didn't even salute the Fifth Prince when she saw him. She tilted her head up. "I'm here to find Brother Wei Luo. I have something to talk to him about. Don't block my way."
"What do you want to talk to him about?" Xin Zizhao asked her coldly.
"I want to ask him how it's possible that he said he's a woman. Isn't he a man?" It seemed that what happened this morning had already reached Dan Xueyao's ears.
"Just as you've seen. The Brother Wei Luo you mentioned is actually a woman. She only disguised herself as a man to hide her identity as a fugitive. Do you have anything else to ask?"
Dan Xueyao just wanted to ask Wei Shuxuan properly, not this Fifth Prince. "Get out of the way. I'm not here to ask you. The person I want to ask is Wei Luo. I want him to explain it to me in person."
Xin Zizhao looked at Dan Xueyao with her head tilted up. "Even if you see her, what can you do? Can you change the fact that she's a woman?"
Being told this by Xin Zizhao, Dan Xueyao was instantly speechless. However, she just came here to get a clear answer, not to do anything immoral.
"I just hope Wei Luo can come out and explain it to me clearly!" Dan Xueyao also had her own persistence.
Just as Xin Zizhao was about to say something else, he felt someone pat his shoulder. "Since she wants me to explain, let me do it. I have to face it eventually."
Xin Zizhao took a step back and let Wei Shuxuan come out from inside. Wei Shuxuan was slightly taller than Dan Xueyao. She lowered her eyes and looked at Dan Xueyao, whose eyes were already red when she saw her. "I'm extremely sorry, Miss Dan. I shouldn't have lied to you like this. Please understand and forgive my behavior!"
As soon as Dan Xueyao heard this, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. "Why? Why did you disguise yourself as a man? If you had told me from the beginning, it would have been so much better! Then I wouldn't have fallen in love with you! I wouldn't be so heart - broken now!"
"Sorry... I'm really sorry..." Wei Shuxuan didn't know what else to do but apologize to her. After all, she was the one who made a mistake first. She shouldn't have lied. Moreover, at that time, she thought Dan Xueyao liked Xin Zizhao and even deliberately tried to match them up. Who would have thought...
Wei Shuxuan sighed helplessly and got closer to Dan Xueyao. She said, "If my disguising as a man made you sad, it's my fault. I'm sorry. But at that time, I also clearly told you that it was impossible between us. At that time, I even thought you were Xin Zizhao."
"Impossible!"
"Impossible!"
The two of them gave Wei Shuxuan a negative answer in unison. Hearing their synchronized answer, Wei Shuxuan couldn't help looking at them in surprise. As soon as Xin Zizhao saw her look, he knew what she was thinking and warned her fiercely, "You're not allowed to say that."
However, Wei Shuxuan had already blurted it out. "You two are really in sync!"
Xin Zizhao couldn't help covering his forehead. He glanced at Dan Xueyao. "I don't want to be in sync with this woman."
"Do you think I want to be in sync with you? You're so annoying! If I had to say I like someone, I'd rather like the female Wei Luo than you, a mean person!" Dan Xueyao's resistance to Xin Zizhao was really obvious.
"Well, I should really thank you for not liking me."
Xin Zizhao's sarcasm was really hurtful. Dan Xueyao had never suffered such humiliation since she was a child. Hearing what Xin Zizhao said, she ran out quickly. Just as Wei Shuxuan was about to chase after her, Xin Zizhao stopped her. "What are you chasing for? She hates you very much now."
"What should we do now? We can't just leave her alone, right?" Wei Shuxuan couldn't help feeling worried.
"Just ask your secret guard to chase after her," Xin Zizhao suggested.
"You're right," Wei Shuxuan didn't think much. "Wei Wei."
As soon as she called out, Wei Wei immediately appeared in front of Wei Shuxuan. "Miss, what are your orders?"
"Hurry up and chase after Miss Dan. Protect her safety and send her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Yes, my lady!"
With that, Wei Wei disappeared. Wei Shuxuan was still a little worried about Dan Xueyao.
"Don't worry. Wei Wei won't leave that young lady alone."
"That's good."
Xin Zizhao turned around and looked at Wei Shuxuan. "By the way, there seem to be some things between us that haven't been resolved yet."
Wei Shuxuan, who thought she had managed to get through smoothly, knew that she couldn't deceive Xin Zizhao when she heard this. He was determined to find out.
Wei Shuxuan thought carefully, then looked up into Xin Zizhao's eyes. "Actually, there's still one thing I've been hiding from you. But this thing is so incredible that I don't know if I should tell you. After I tell you, will you think of me as a freak..."
"Who else knows about this thing you're talking about?" Xin Zizhao looked back into Wei Shuxuan's clear and determined eyes.
"Only I know. I haven't told anyone about this. But since you said you wanted to know, I'm just so torn about whether I should tell you or not..." Uncertainty showed on Wei Shuxuan's face.
Xin Zizhao didn't want to force her. Since she was unwilling, there was no need for him to force her to do something she didn't like.
"I won't force you. If you really don't want to tell me, then wait until you've made up your mind and then tell me. Is that okay?"
Wei Shuxuan had never heard Xin Zizhao speak to her in such a gentle tone. The uneasiness in her heart was almost swept away by this rare gentleness. Wei Shuxuan nodded. "Okay. When I think it's time to tell you, I will. Then will you..."
Wei Shuxuan still seemed a little hesitant. Xin Zizhao could tell at a glance what she was hesitating about. "Yes, I won't think of you as a freak. I just simply don't want you to hide things from me."
"Okay!" Wei Shuxuan smiled at him, with a hint of moisture in her eyes.
I know that you're still a little distrustful of me, which is why you're so hesitant about whether to tell me everything or not.
Xin Zizhao watched Wei Shuxuan's back as she walked out of the main hall. He thought to himself secretly that he must make Wei Shuxuan trust him and open her heart to him.
