After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 253: Intentional

"Guard Lin, your way of speaking is getting better and better; I'm starting to like it quite a bit."

Gan Luo said this happily, and when he said it, Lin Fengmian felt a warm glow in his heart.

"If Your Highness likes it, then I will certainly massage your head here more often in the future."

Gan Luo simply smiled faintly and said to Lin Fengmian, "You don't need to do this. You've been sticking to me and rubbing my head all this time. I want to ask you, do you have a girl you like?"

In fact, Gan Luo was doing it on purpose, asking Lin Fengmian if he had a girl he liked.

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Your Highness, I don't know what 'like' means. Could Your Highness please explain it to me?"

Gan Luo had thought that Lin Fengmian would know what liking someone meant, but he was surprised to find that Lin Fengmian didn't even know what liking someone meant.

Gan Luo then explained to Lin Fengmian what it means to like someone.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something to Gan Luo, but in the end he closed his mouth.

He didn't know how to say these things to Gan Luo.

He simply chose to remain silent.

"Actually, I do have someone I like, but I understand how big the gap is between us, so I choose to bury these feelings in my heart."

He couldn't help but say it eventually, though he said it very subtly.

Gan Luo, listening from the side, must have been filled with ambition. But who was he referring to?

After all, Lin Fengmian hadn't had much contact with anyone these past few days, except for Gan Luo, who was a princess of noble birth. The difference in their social status was undoubtedly vast.

Then, Gan Luo turned her gaze to Lin Fengmian and couldn't help but say, "If it were me, I would definitely pursue him, because I believe that if you like someone, you should be together."

Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that it was impossible for them to be together.

After all, Lin Fengmian had talked about Gan Luo before, but the outcome was not ideal. This shows that Gan Luo did not have him in his heart, or that he was the same as his other male concubines, but Gan Luo liked him more.

Gan Luo, who was listening to this, was filled with anger and resentment.

She had absolutely no idea how to explain things to this blockhead in front of her.

In the end, Gan Luo simply sighed and said no more.

After all, if this continued, Gan Luo thought he would be so angry that he would die.

Lin Fengmian could clearly sense that Gan Luo's emotions were not quite right.

He couldn't help but wonder to himself if he had offended Gan Luo.

The more he thought about it, the less he knew what to do next.

He only knew that he felt a little helpless.

He did indeed like Gan Luo, but he also understood that it was impossible for the two of them to be together.

There are always some things in this world that we can't obtain, aren't there?

Moreover, for Lin Fengmian, being able to protect Gan Luo was a very happy thing.

Gan Luo sensed Lin Fengmian's inner thoughts and thought Lin Fengmian was as stupid as a dog.

In the end, Gan Luo gave up. Some things just don't make sense.

"I only hope that you can understand one thing: some things are indeed impossible, but we must still try our best to achieve them. If you don't try, how will you know if they are really feasible? I hope you can understand this principle."

Lin Fengmian then planned to tell Gan Luo that he loved her.

After Gan Luo calmed down, he felt that it was still feasible for Lin Fengmian not to say anything, since it didn't mean that the two of them would definitely be together.

Because Gan Luo had to act for the sake of the world and the common people, and not for his own selfish desires.

This is perhaps the source of the princess's worries; sometimes, even someone of such high status and power is not someone she can choose.

"Your Highness, it's getting late. You should get some rest, as there are things to do tomorrow. If you stay here any longer, it will only cause you some trouble."

Gan Luo listened to Lin Fengmian's words, her mind filled with many thoughts. In the end, Gan Luo told Lin Fengmian, "I know what I should do next, so you don't need to worry too much."

On the other side, Shangguan Mufeng was naturally drinking under the full moon. He should have agreed to this in the first place.

Shangguan Nantian walked up to Shangguan Mufeng and asked him why he was drinking alone here.

"My son just can't understand some things. He keeps thinking that he might have done something wrong. He should have agreed earlier, otherwise he wouldn't be here chasing after her so hard. After chasing her for so long, she still doesn't agree at all."

At that moment, Shangguan Nantian was at a loss for how to answer Shangguan Mufeng.

However, he could understand the feeling of not being able to catch up with someone, after all, in the past, Shangguan Mufeng's mother was also Shangguan Nantian, and she had been with him several times.

In that instant, he actually felt that like father, like son, after all, he had also pursued Shangguan in the past, and that was how he had pursued Mu Feng's mother, and now Shangguan Mu Feng was also pursuing his wife.

The road to winning back his wife is truly long and arduous.

Shangguan Mufeng, not quite understanding what Shangguan Nantian meant, couldn't help but ask a few questions.

Shangguan Mufeng was genuinely curious about these matters, but he didn't expect Shangguan Nantian to remain silent.

As the saying goes, perseverance leads to victory. So, persevere!

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Mufeng expressed that he would definitely persevere.

But for some reason, despite my persistence, there were still some things that...

Then Shangguan Nantian gave Shangguan Mufeng some more examples.

Shangguan Mufeng, listening from the side, found Shangguan Nantian's examples very useful, as they indeed aligned with his current thoughts.

However, what Shangguan Mufeng couldn't understand was why, despite his hard work, people were still indifferent to him, as if he were trying to win them over no matter how hard he tried.

The more he thought about it, the more distressed he became.

Then he drank the whole pot of wine on the table right there.
