The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 1050 His Highness Was Secretly Unhappy

Difference.

Indeed, that was the first time he realized the difference between him and her.

She was the most adored eldest daughter of the Lan family.

However, he was no longer the Chen family’s young master whom everyone sought to please.

The twisted relationship between them dragged on for half a year.

After that, he thought that he could finally be free again, now that the Chen family had returned to how it was before.

Yet, she refused to let him go.

She should have known how much he hated being chained to something.

She would express her love for him every day.

Yet, whenever they grew intimate, her expression would always become awkward.

Does she think that I would not notice that she would gently hug him with a tolerating gaze every time after making love?

If she truly loves me, there would be no need for her to tolerate me.

She is only…protecting me out of habit ever since she was young.

He was even aware of the fact that she disliked staying the night with him.

Nowadays, she rarely poured her heart out to him anymore.

During that same year, she began working and started to make new friends.

Even though they were together, they were mutually unaware of each other’s recent ongoings.

Even the people surrounding her were mature like her.

She probably prefers that type of person anyway.

One day, she would come to realize that her feelings toward me are not love.

I don’t like her anyway, so I don’t care what her feelings are.

This was what he thought as he counted his days toward freedom.

Yet, when the day arrived, he was not sure why he became upset.

The message that she sent to her older brother that night.

He had actually seen everything.

She wanted to break up with him.

She said they were not meant for each other.

Hah, it took her three years to decide that we weren’t meant for each other.

He grew increasingly irritated when he looked at her, so he simply chased her out.

The next day, he received a message from her, asking him out for a talk.

What they were going to talk about was glaringly obvious.

Considering that the three years contract was expiring soon.

She used various different methods to keep him by her side before.

He knew, however, that if she intended to break up with him, she would not use any underhanded trickeries.

After receiving the text message, he felt a little irked again.

It was probably because he did not like her visiting him in the hospital.

Xiao Ziqiu noticed his irritation and was worried that something might happen during his operation later, so she stayed by his side the entire time.

The darned thing was, she made him wait an entire afternoon without even appearing.

Did she back down again?

While he found the whole ordeal ridiculous, he felt strangely relieved.

This time should be no different from the past. Nothing significant would come out of it.

However, she did not appear in the next few days either.

He was already used to this. She was probably concocting another scheme to make him stay by her side again.

Yet… what is this, is she making someone else break up with me on her behalf?

Chen Zhendong hung his head low as he muttered through gritted teeth, “Where on earth is she now?”

Helian Wei Wei paused her footsteps. “Do you really want to know, Mr. Chen?”

“Yes,” Chen Zhendong sneered, “This person whom she has fallen in love with, does he really exist? Why do I keep having a feeling that you are lying to me?”

Helian Wei Wei gave him a meaningful look. “Everyone believes in what they choose to believe. Of course, that person exists – not only does he exist, but he also treats her extremely well. Do you know, Mr. Chen, that people only realize what they’re compatible with after having a comparison? She’s found herself someone that is more suitable for her. Moreover, how certain can you be that she was with you out of love?”

Chen Zhendong hesitated.

Helian Wei Wei continued on, “Women often mistake reliance for love. She would only learn the difference when her true love appears. Let me speak bluntly with you, Lan Ya doesn’t wish to see you ever again.”

These words were a heavy blow.

Chen Zhendong’s expression was hidden, but his tone was relaxed. “So, that’s how it is.”

He had long expected this day to come.

When she had that expression during their intimacy.

He already knew how things would end.

He was the same, wasn’t he?

At least, he disliked this relationship too.

The two of them were never meant to be together.

“Yeah, that’s how it is. You may let go of your burdens and be with Miss Xiao from now on, Mr. Chen.” Helian Wei Wei paused a little after finishing her sentence. Then, she smiled mischievously and said, “But, if you ever have a change of heart, you’re free to call me anytime. I might even be able to tell you a little more about Lan Ya.”

“Is there a need to?” Chen Zhendong stepped ahead of Helian Wei Wei and pressed the elevator button. “Her wellbeing no longer has anything to do with me.”

Indeed, it has nothing to do with you.

As she stared at the slender silhouette, a smile appeared on Lan Ya’s lips for the first time.

Everything has been relieved.

Two syllabuses were whispered from her thin lips.

“Bye-bye.”

There was no need to say ‘see you next time’ since they would never meet again.

Helian Wei Wei looked at her and said, “Walk forward, try following him.”

“I told you, I can’t leave this apart-” Lan Ya said as she walked forward nonetheless. Surprisingly, she was able to follow Chen Zhendong’s figure.

Lan Ya’s eyes opened wide in disbelief. She could finally leave the area for the first time after all this while.

Helian Wei Wei smiled as if she managed to confirm something. “It’s as expected.”

“As expected of what?” Lan Ya was confused.

At that moment, Baili Jia Jue walked over and held Helian Wei Wei’s hand. However, he suddenly paused in mid-action as his eyes darkened. “My master, you’ve grown sly. The way you lie makes me itch to tease you.”

“As if there’s anything you can do in this form!” Helian Wei Wei ruffled his ears as she laughed happily.

Baili Jia Jue smiled devilishly. “There’s indeed nothing I can do in this form.” Though how can she be sure that I would always remain in this form? This just comes to show how adorably naive my master is sometimes…

She is sly nevertheless, as she still refuses to release her command.

“Enough with that, I can barely see Lan Ya anymore. Let’s hurry after her,” Helian Wei Wei said as she led Baili Jia Jue down the stairs.

She dashed at supersonic speed and was even faster than the elevator.

She could follow Chen Zhendong closely without trailing too far behind.

It seems that he had an appointment with someone, as he headed straight for a bar.

It turned out he was meeting Xiao Ziqiu.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at Lan Ya’s expression reflexively.

Perhaps, she is truly at peace with it all. She even has a gentle smile on her face.

Helian Wei Wei gave her a look, signaling for her to come closer.

A living soul is different from a dead soul after all, as they were easy targets of evil spirits.

Of course, from the moment Baili Jia Jue arrived, the spirits fled like antelopes sensing danger.

Even Helian Wei Wei shot a queer glance at Baili Jia Jue. Under normal circumstances, His Highness would usually be rather low-key. Why is he behaving so abnormally today, without bothering to mask his demonic aura in the slightest?
