Chapter 1275 A Sharp Pain in the Heart
The diving suit was tight, clearly outlining the girl's figure.
But she wasn't naked, so why the guilt?
Thus, Chu Qianli didn't hide. Instead, she took a step forward, making her attire even clearer to Feng Yexuan.
Feng Yexuan's face was filled with anger, yet somehow, it turned red in an instant.
The clothing clearly accentuated all the lines on her body, both visible and hidden.
The alluring curves were instantly etched into his mind.
He was angry because this woman was too shameless.
His blushing was probably also due to anger.
In any case, he felt absolutely no affection for this promiscuous and unrestrained woman.
What angered him even more was that the damned image was seared into the deepest part of his mind, refusing to fade.
Chu Qianli ignored him.
She turned and walked towards the gap in the embankment, about to jump.
Feng Yexuan took two steps forward and said displeasuredly, "You're really brave, not knowing what the situation is like down there!"
"Is Your Highness Prince Xuan here because you suspected something? If you're here, shouldn't you investigate properly, or else you've come for nothing?"
"I didn't tell you to go down!" Of course, he wouldn't come for nothing, but he hadn't expected a young lady to be so audacious.
She was indeed different from ordinary women!
Chu Qianli didn't rush to jump. She turned back to look at him.
Feng Yexuan's gaze, as if by accident, fell upon her again.
Those damned curves!
His throat felt inexplicably dry and hot!
His body felt as if it were burning.
He immediately averted his gaze.
"Heh, the dignified Prince Xuan is afraid to even look at a young lady. How surprising."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" The man almost flew into a rage.
"I don't want to argue with you." Chu Qianli stared into his dark eyes. "Why are you here?"
"Why aren't you?"
They looked at each other and spoke at the same time: "The ballad is suspicious..."
"So, you also suspect that the collapse of the city moat was man-made?" Chu Qianli sighed.
Although they always argued and were always at odds, at least they agreed on this point.
"The news had just come in, and the ballad was already spreading through the streets and alleys. It's clear that someone had prepared the ballad in advance and timed its dissemination."
Feng Yexuan had come for this very reason.
"Those people knew that the city moat would collapse long ago, but if it collapsed naturally, they couldn't have predicted it."
"So," Chu Qianli's mood finally improved slightly, "the city moat didn't collapse from floods, but was man-made."
"Let me go down and take a look." She knew that Feng Yexuan was a good swimmer, but he didn't have a diving suit, so he couldn't compare to her.
"I'll go!" Such a dangerous task shouldn't be left to a girl.
Even though he truly disliked her, and he didn't know why, he disliked her more and more.
But no matter what, she was still a young lady.
Chu Qianli turned back and smiled at him, "Is Your Highness worried about me, afraid something will happen to me?"
"Get lost!" Utterly unreasonable.
So Chu Qianli really did get lost.
She jumped from the gap in the embankment into the surging river.
Feng Yexuan's heart jolted, and he hurried over.
He only saw the shimmering waves, with no chance to see her as she fell!
For some reason, the rippling waves made his eyes turn scarlet.
And it caused a sharp pain in his heart!
