With a clang, the cup in Feng Wuya's hand fell to the ground.
This was the second cup he had broken tonight.
Murong Yu, who was sitting opposite him drinking tea, frowned and stared at her clearly distracted son. "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Feng Wuya blinked and shook his head.
In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking about either.
"Wuya, you haven't been yourself these past two days. Are you feeling unwell again?"
As a mother, her greatest concern was her son's health.
Although Chu Qianli had performed surgery on him, and it was very successful, it was still a heart condition. No one knew if there would be any sequelae after the successful surgery.
Feng Wuya shook his head again, his voice calm. "Mother, I'm fine."
Murong Yu stared at his face. A mother knows her son best, and moreover, her son had never been good at hiding his thoughts. His feelings were almost always written on his face.
These past two days, he had clearly been very unsettled.
"Wuya, what are you thinking about? Why don't you tell Mother?" she asked.
Feng Wuya looked at her, his lips moved, but he still hesitated to speak.
"Is there something you find difficult to say? Or perhaps..." Murong Yu thought for a moment, then asked, "Wuya, are you thinking of someone? Is it your A'Li?"
Feng Wuya was stunned, and suddenly, somewhat taken aback.
A'Li? These past few days, perhaps due to being too busy searching for Ninth Imperial Uncle's whereabouts.
Or perhaps it was because he was being pursued by people of unknown identity, resulting in immense pressure, causing him to think less about many people and things.
Recently, he hadn't thought much about... A'Li.
After all, A'Li was currently by Fourth Imperial Brother's side. Even though she couldn't remember many things herself, as long as Fourth Imperial Brother was there, A'Li's safety would be guaranteed.
With her safety assured, he no longer needed to worry about her.
Murong Yu stared at his expression and suddenly smiled. "It seems you don't like your A'Li that much."
"Mother, A'Li is Fourth Imperial Brother's woman. Please don't joke about her anymore."
It was precisely because of his mother's meddling in the past that Chu Qianli had suffered so much. From now on, his mother absolutely could not interfere again.
"Mother, when we return to the imperial city, you must accompany me to see A'Li, to... sincerely repent."
"You want Mother to go and apologize and repent to your A'Li, hoping she will forgive me, is that it?"
Murong Yu waved her hand, not taking it to heart. She smiled. "She will definitely forgive me, do you believe it?"
"You hurt her so much..."
"She will still forgive me. Mother is confident." This was because she knew that Chu Qianli understood in her heart that if she didn't forgive, the one who would be troubled would surely be Wuya.
In fact, Murong Yu genuinely liked this girl, Chu Qianli, from the bottom of her heart.
She was open-minded and magnanimous. She had never met such a generous girl.
Even when she was wronged and suffered hardship, in the face of major issues, she always considered the bigger picture.
That young girl, despite her young age, rarely considered herself.
She only considered others.
If she were not Feng Yexuan's wife, and if she had Wuya in her heart, Murong Yu believed that she would definitely have made them get together, no matter what.
But, such were the circumstances. A forced melon is not only not sweet, but it also harms the innocent. So, why force it?
Moreover, wasn't there now a girl who loved Wuya even more than Chu Qianli, and was more willing to give everything for Wuya?
"Wuya, when we go back, I'll go apologize to Xiao Li'er, alright?"
In Murong Yu's smile, a trace of loneliness flashed and disappeared.
However, she had also become more open-minded in these past few months.
Some things had to be faced; they could not be escaped.
When they returned, she would strive to face everything.
"But now, can you tell Mother, since you don't want Xiao Li'er, then... which girl are you thinking of?"
