Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Qi Chengxuan always knew that this Miss Chang was attractive, not just beautiful, but her temperament was very unique, not at all like a girl raised in a small town.

Seeing Gu Shengyin looking at him puzzled, he coughed lightly, somewhat awkwardly, and said, "Since there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

Gu Shengyin nodded.

Qi Chengxuan hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard.

He got into the carriage waiting outside, sat down, and after lowering the curtain, he finally let out a long sigh.

He couldn’t help but place his hand near his heart, which was currently beating intensely, asserting his existence.

Qi Chengxuan considered himself someone who had seen many beauties, so why, when facing Miss Chang, did he feel like a young boy?

Qi Chengxuan knew that he always had some indescribable feelings towards Chang Jiujiu.

But he had never taken it seriously before, thinking it was just a normal reaction of a man seeing a pretty girl.

But things are different now.

He knew that no "normal" reaction was like this.

He had never had such a reaction towards anyone else.

Qi Chengxuan closed his eyes, leaning against the carriage wall, his face half-hidden in the shadows, making it difficult to discern his emotions.

Over the next period, Gu Shengyin keenly noticed a slight change in Qi Chengxuan.

Although at first glance it seemed that Qi Chengxuan’s attitude towards her was no different from before, upon closer inspection, it was apparent that he was deliberately keeping his distance from her.

In the past, he always spoke to her with an unnaturally slight intimacy.

But now, it seemed as if he was forcing himself to cut off that unintentionally revealed intimacy.

What happened?

On this day, Qi Chengxuan silently finished his cup of floral tea and was about to leave when Gu Shengyin spoke up: "The Prince is avoiding me."

Qi Chengxuan’s body stiffened.

He calmly said, "Miss Chang, you’re joking."

Gu Shengyin said softly, "If there’s anything about me that the Prince is displeased with, you can directly tell me. If it can be changed, I will change it; if not, at least let me understand where the problem lies."

Upon hearing this, Qi Chengxuan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

Truly in the style of Miss Chang, straightforward, with her usual willfulness.

He actually wanted to say that he found her perfect in every way, and it was precisely because she was so perfect that he struggled to control his heart.

His body was a huge hidden danger. No one knows if he could survive when the Fire Poison, suppressed for over twenty years, would suddenly erupt, so he wouldn’t dare gamble at all.

Now, before anything starts, extinguishing the spark right away is the best choice.

As for a cure...

Qi Chengxuan trusted Gu Shengyin, but he couldn’t underestimate the fierce nature of the Fire Poison.

His heart was torn between the great anticipation of shedding that heavy burden and the fear that the current beautiful situation might just be an illusion.

Facing Gu Shengyin’s questioning, Qi Chengxuan paused for a moment.

He said, "I don’t know how to tell you, Miss Chang. After a month, I will naturally be honest with you."

She said the treatment only needed a month.

If the best result can truly be achieved, then naturally he would follow his true feelings.

If not... he would just stand aside and use the status of Prince Ping’s Mansion to ensure she remains worry-free throughout her life.
