Chapter 560 But I don’t want to be your brother!
On the other side, Di Ran and Ji Yunxie were about to leave the palace. When passing through a corridor, they met an old acquaintance.
"Sister Ran!"
When Yan Chen saw Di Ran, his eyes lit up and he ran over without caring about his current identity.
"Sister Ran, why are you here?!"
Yan Chen was about to ask her if she came to see him, but when he saw Ji Yunxie holding Di Ran's arm, the smile on his face froze and his eyes were filled with hatred.
"Mr. Yan..."
Ji Yunxie just nodded slightly without saluting.
Although the prince's status is not as high as that of the empress's concubines, he is the Prince of Beichen.
These four words represent his noble status, and Yan Chen is just a servant of the king, not as high as Guijun and Fengjun in rank.
Given his status, he did not need to show great respect to a servant of the king.
While Yan Chen was jealous of Ji Yunxie, he did not forget that Di Ran was still there. He did not want to leave a bad impression on the person he liked, so he had to suppress his anger and wanted to explain something to Di Ran.
"Sister Ran, please listen to my explanation. I don't want to..."
"Servant Yan."
Di Ran looked over with a cold gaze, his eyes were deep and cold, without a trace of nostalgia, as if the person in front of him was just a stranger, terribly distant.
"What do you want to say?"
At this moment, Yan Chen couldn't say the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
What does he want to explain?
He said he didn't want to be a servant of the king?
A man who doesn't want to be an empress wants to marry her?
but……
Looking at the woman in front of me, she seems so familiar, yet strange.
Yan Chen's eyes were slightly moist as he stared at Di Ran. His lips trembled and his voice sounded hoarse.
"...Sister Ran, do you really have no feelings for me at all?"
Yan Chen spoke each word with difficulty, suppressing his bitterness and grievance.
Di Ran raised his eyes slightly: "I only treat you as my younger brother."
This one sentence made Yan Chen feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and his emotions almost collapsed.
"But I don't want to be your brother!"
There was no fluctuation on Di Ran's cold face. Yan Chen was crying, his tears wet his eyes and his little face was pale.
"Sister Ran, if...if he hadn't appeared, would you have fallen in love with me one day?"
The choked and trembling words seemed to carry a hint of earnest anticipation.
But the next second, the woman's ruthless words made him fall to the bottom.
"No." Looking at the woman who was still heartless and cold and didn't give him any hope, Yan Chen let out a mocking and bitter smile.
"Heh~"
"I see."
He turned around and ran away wiping his tears.
Looking at Yan Chen's embarrassed figure leaving, Di Ran drooped his eyelids slightly, and his face showed no reluctance because of the other party's words.
She was aware of Yan Chen's obsession, but she had always treated him as the boy next door and had no romantic feelings towards him.
She also kept refusing and didn't give him any hope.
I don't know why the other party is unwilling to give up.
Her heart is very small, and another person has already lived in it, so there is no room for a second person.
Unfortunately, she couldn't respond to Yan Chen's infatuation and obsession.
"Ayue..."
Ji Yunxie looked at Di Ran staring at Yan Chen's departing back in a daze, his eyes dimmed. He held her hand tightly, seeming to be a little jealous.
Di Ran came back to his senses and looked at the little flame in Ji Yunxie's eyes, feeling neither amused nor helpless.
"What are you thinking about? You are the only one in my heart."
"Humph."
Ji Yunxie glared at her and snorted.
Of course he knew that she only had him in her heart, otherwise he would have been angry long ago.
"Let's go."
Di Ran smiled, took his hand and walked out of the palace.
There were many eyes and ears in the palace, and Yan Chen's actions were in public, so no one could hide it.
It was only because Di Ran really had nothing to do with him, otherwise this matter would have been a big deal.
Having said that, Yan Chen's slap in the face of the empress also gave the other servants in the palace an opportunity to catch him.
Even the empress knew about this and scolded Yan Chen with a dark face.
Soon, Yan Chen fell out of favor.
The servants in the palace are all opportunists, and when they see their masters fall out of favor, they will naturally be more negligent.
Yan Chen’s situation can be imagined.
