Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce-Chapter 650 - 575 Are you not curious about your past life?

Chapter 650: 575 Are you not curious about your past life?

"Lili, don’t you believe what I am saying?"

His Highness Chiluo saw Song Lili standing still with an expressionless face and couldn’t help but ask with a light chuckle.

"I just didn’t expect Your Highness to believe in these things."

Song Lili answered offhandedly as she continued to walk alongside His Highness Chiluo,

"Actually, our country M’s Xuan Clan People are developed from your country G’s citizens, with origins tracing back more than a thousand years."

"..."

"Are you surprised that it developed from your country G?"

His Highness Chiluo continued,

"Actually, Lili, you should not find this strange. Hasn’t Lord Wen Nian invited the witch from Ryan Castle to President Mansion before?"

"..."

Song Lili instantly became more vigilant, giving Chiluo a couple more glances unconsciously.

She slowly realized that the Prince of country M’s request for her to accompany him on a walk wasn’t solely for the sake of walking.

The seemingly casual conversation gradually had a focus, and this focus... for Song Lili, was mysterious and profound.

She had never thought there would be a second person to mention these things in front of her, other than Wen Nian.

"His Highness Chiluo, it seems that you are quite interested in the witch’s dealings. Perhaps later, I can speak to Ah Nian, and maybe you can meet the witch from Ryan Castle before you leave."

Song Lili replied calmly.

She did not know what Chiluo’s purpose was, but she was clear... Chiluo knew some things that most people did not.

"Hahaha, Lili, you really do love to joke."

"Your Highness Chiluo, I am not that fond of making jokes."

Song Lili said with a slight smile, her expression revealing her seriousness.

"Do you think it’s so easy to invite the witch from Ryan Castle? Even if Wen Nian really could invite her, I bet the witch wouldn’t care to interact much with someone like me, who is unrelated."

Chiluo shrugged his shoulders,

"Moreover, the witch of Ryan Castle and our country M’s Xuan Clan People share the same origin, so even though the tribes live on lands belonging to different countries, their customs and rules are the same."

"..."

Song Lili took a deep breath.

"Lili, why have you suddenly become nervous?"

"I haven’t."

Song Lili responded indifferently, "What do I have to be nervous about? I am a person who believes in science, not superstition, so I really am not very interested in what Your Highness Chiluo is talking about."

"The Xuan Clan People are skilled at discerning people’s past and present lives, and believe in the concept of rebirth."

"Your Highness Chiluo, I am getting a bit tired. Princess Chinian is still alone at the mansion, I would like to return to rest, and to keep Princess Chinian company."

Song Lili spoke directly and was about to turn around to leave.

"Song Lili, what are you afraid of?"

"I am not afraid of anything. It is Your Highness Chiluo who has been speaking in riddles all along."

"Alright, alright, if my words have offended you or made you feel uncomfortable, I apologize to you once again."

Chiluo moved in front of Song Lili, expressing his apologies very sincerely.

Song Lili faced his rugged features...

Chiluo was a sincere and honest man, that was her and Wen Nian’s impression of him. Although one knew a prince could not truly be as simple and straightforward as that, compared to other royals and nobles, Chiluo was considered to be more agreeable.

But from Lili’s current perspective, she just felt that Chiluo and Chinian were indeed of the same root. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Both naturally possessed a face adept at deception, skilled in concealment.

Chiluo was straightforward, and Princess Chinian appeared utterly pitiable.

One easily inspired trust, while the other incessantly evoked pity.

After all, they were the same: their words held deeper meaning, their calculations hidden in their hearts not any less significant, and in that moment, they made it quite difficult for others to discern their true intentions.

Ever since Princess Chinian arrived in Country G, she had been constantly entangled with Zhongli Wuzhi and Lu Xiaoer.

And Chiluo, seemingly just assisting his only sister, Princess Chinian, was also negotiating an alliance between two nations with Wen Nian.

These were all superficialities...

Song Lili had never given it much thought.

Now, with the King of Qing Lin having left in a huff, Chiluo conversed with her, discussing within their dialogue some abstruse concepts.

The term "past life" was highly sensitive to Song Lili.

If it wasn’t she who initiated the topic, but instead it was deliberately mentioned by others, Song Lili would raise her guard.

"Lili..."

"Yes?"

"Do you still remember... you once told me that you were thirty-eight this year?"

"I don’t remember."

Song Lili replied directly.

Chiluo suddenly laughed, "You really did say it, and you asked me if I believed you. I said... I believed. But then you didn’t believe it yourself."

"Your Highness Chiluo, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"If there really were a past life, wouldn’t you be curious about what yours was like?"

"..."

"It’s just a hypothesis; you don’t need to be so serious, do you?"

Song Lili pursed her lips.

"Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore. Let’s go back then." Chiluo stopped there, and then he and Song Lili walked together towards the residential building.

Song Lili walked ahead, with Chiluo following behind, observing her tall, graceful figure...

She never looked back, and occasionally, when seen from the side, her cool and indifferent expression was visible.

Chiluo took a light breath.

He wasn’t in a hurry to probe the depths of this woman’s heart.

What he was concerned about was... whether this woman could possibly become one of his.

Whoever gained the Goddess, could have everything they desired: power, lust, wealth.

The President of Country M was foolish and dim-witted, fixated solely on the Royal Family, while the nation had just experienced war and had so much to deal with. Yet, he only thought about how to weaken the Royal Family’s interests.

Such a President, for every day in office, was a day of sorrow for the people of Country M.

Unfortunately, his father was also a man with no great ambitions, merely wishing to be a King who could rest easy, adored by the people, and bask in glory and wealth, never aspiring to seize power, thus even though he had the ambition to rise, he lacked the solid backing.

At present, with the President eyeing the Royal Family, if he were to share his ambitions with the King of Qing Lin, it was likely that not only would the King not support him, but he would also be pressed to abandon such thoughts to avoid bringing disaster upon himself.

He needed support, a great deal of support.

He knew that tales of spirits and divinity were absurd in modern society.

Whether humans truly had a soul was beyond investigation.

Whether it was the Xuan Clan People, or Ryan Castle, the things they said, the things they did, in the end, they were all like most religions.

Like Christianity’s God Jesus, Buddhism’s The Bodhisattva Guanyin, The Buddha...

Believe, and it exists; disbelieve, and it does not. There’s nothing to argue about.

Chiluo himself had initially scoffed at the Xuan Clan witch’s words, but when the Xuan Clan People explicitly mentioned "the President’s wife," he was taken aback.

He had come to the President Mansion in Country G time and again, dealing with Wen Nian and Song Lili repeatedly, even going so far as to allow Princess Chinian to stay permanently in the President Mansion, all in hopes that Princess Chinian could observe from their day-to-day life.
