Chaoli forgot how to react, so he just turned his head and looked at Gu Hanzhang blankly.
Gu Hanzhang's words just now shocked her greatly. She understood almost instantly what his thoughts were. If she guessed correctly, he should regret that he should not agree to the so-called divorce between the two of them a year later.
I felt reluctant and moved my heart.
However, the three years of marriage in the previous life did not warm this man's heart, and now it only takes nearly three months to make him fall in love.
Is it really possible?
Chaoli looked calm, closed his eyes, and exhaled.
"There is no point in regretting. A gentleman keeps his promise, and a promise once made is hard to keep. Naturally, what the prince promised me should be fulfilled. I will leave the Hou Mansion in the agreed one year."
It is undeniable that Gu Hanzhang in this life is more exciting than in the previous life, but Chaoli no longer dares to expect his feelings anymore. The three years of bitter love in the previous life have made her miserable.
She was satisfied to be able to live another life and avoid the tragedies of her previous life.
In fact, she doesn't have a definite direction for how to go in the future. She can only take one step at a time, but the best result is to avoid Gu Hanzhang.
Gu Hanzhang's face sank, his eyes showing a chill.
"You don't have any nostalgia at all?"
Hearing this, Chaoli's eyes turned cold, and his eyes were filled with darkness.
It’s not that there is no nostalgia, it’s that I was too nostalgic in my previous life and was never willing to give up or let go, so I was covered in bruises.
"Your Majesty, I loved you with all my heart, but you didn't give me any response. So, I gave up, let go of my attachment to you, and let you live freely. Don't you think so in your heart? In fact, I want to thank you, Your Majesty.
His Majesty taught me that love cannot be rewarded just by giving it all."
Chaoli's voice was very calm. Even if the two of them were face to face, she didn't have the slightest worry and spoke her mind.
"There is still a chance, we can start over." Gu Hanzhang suddenly said again.
Chaoli chuckled when he heard the words, "Start again? Gu Hanzhang, it is impossible for us to start again."
Gu Hanzhang stood up silently, sat on the soft couch, looked at Chaoli's calm face, and didn't know what he was thinking.
This was the first time Chao Li whispered his name. It sounded nice, but there was an inexplicable sadness in it.
It was obvious that she had never called her before, but at that moment, Gu Hanzhang suddenly felt a little pain in his heart, and it seemed as if he was in another world.
After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Why is that? It's still too late now, why can't we start again?"
Gu Hanzhang frowned. He didn't believe that the woman who had eyes for him would now have no feelings for him.
He did have some misunderstandings on the day they got married, thinking that Chaoli was playing hard to get and using retreat as a means to advance. But after getting along with each other these days, he had already discovered that Chaoli had really given up on him.
It was difficult for Gu Hanzhang to accept her giving up. After getting to know the other party carefully, he realized that he was moved and was unwilling to let Chaoli leave the Hou Mansion.
If he is actually more shameless, he can force Chaoli to stay.
However, he didn't bother to do such a thing, which would only make Chaoli want to leave more and more.
Chaoli slowly sat up, his eyes full of sincerity.
"Your Majesty, I am no longer the person who only cares about you. People always have to become more and more stable. In addition to you, I also have a mother, a grandfather, and an uncle. I guess the Prince may not be interested in me either.
My heart just feels unwilling."
"So, Crown Prince, there is no need to mention this matter again. We will divorce as soon as the one-year period is up as agreed on our wedding night. But I still have to thank the Crown Prince. Now I occupy the status of the Crown Prince's concubine.
I have also done some things. Next, my status as Crown Princess may be used, and my mother also needs me to deal with it, so I would like to say thank you to the Crown Prince first."
Chaoli still felt that it was impossible to fall in love in such a short period of time. How could a heart that had not warmed up for three years become warmed up so easily?
So in her opinion, Gu Hanzhang was just a man's bad nature.
When I love you, you dismiss me. When I don't love you anymore, you feel uncomfortable, as if something is wrong.
People's hearts will hurt and they will also be a little disappointed.
Gu Hanzhang stood up, slowly put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked at the albizia tree outside the window.
Suddenly, he chuckled.
"You still have feelings for me in your heart. It's not that you don't have love at all. Chaoli, a person's eyes can't deceive others. I don't know why you don't want to start over with me. It doesn't matter. You were the one waiting for me before. Now you have to wait for me."
I'll wait for you." Gu Hanzhang said lightly.
If it weren't for the separation, he wouldn't have known that Chaoli left such a heavy mark on his heart.
Chaoli looked at Gu Hanzhang's back for a long time and couldn't come back to her senses. She never thought that Gu Hanzhang would say such words to her. If it were in her previous life, she would definitely be happy with him.
If their mother hadn't passed away angrily, if Lu Xiuyuan hadn't died tragically, their children would have been fine, if there was no Shen Lianyi among them, and if there was no such thing as the disdainful attitude of the entire Hou family towards her, and Gu Hanzhang didn't stand by coldly, maybe they could start over.
But all of this made Chaoli unable to pretend that nothing had happened. These were all facts.
The death of her mother and Lu Xiuyuan had nothing to do with Gu Hanzhang. She accidentally failed to save the child. He also gave her some Tianxiang cardamom, so she cannot blame Gu Hanzhang.
But the most painful thing was that Gu Hanzhang was by Shen Lianyi's side when she was most sad. She couldn't find anyone when she wanted to rely on her. This was her biggest frustration.
"You don't have to wait for me, Prince, I have already let you go. Please let me go." Chaoli insisted.
No debt, no debt, everyone is at ease.
Gu Hanzhang turned around and saw the pain in Chaoli's eyes.
"This is something we can discuss later. It's not even a year yet. You've been feeling unwell the past few days, so just rest first and I'll go to the study."
After finishing his words, Gu Hanzhang turned around and left without waiting for Chaoli's reply.
Walking outside the house, Gu Hanzhang couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What Cheng Feng said was not completely correct. He just expressed his thoughts, but it seemed to be of no use.
Looking at it this way, Chengfeng is still not very good.
Gu Hanzhang did not go back to the study, but walked to the albizia tree and stood quietly for a long time.
Chaoli saw Gu Hanzhang through the window, but she didn't say anything. The wall she built in her heart was not knocked down by Gu Hanzhang's words. She still persisted.
Even if she may not completely let go of him as Gu Hanzhang said, it cannot be the reason for her to continue to be together with Gu Hanzhang.
It’s hard to collect water when it’s covered with water, and it’s hard to round a broken mirror.
In a daze, Chaoli felt exhausted and sleepy, and soon fell asleep.
In a daze, she dreamed back to the scene before her death in her previous life.
The next chapter is about the scene before A Li's death in his previous life. Don't say I'm cruel. This also explains why A Li is unwilling to start over.
