Su Yan replied calmly, “Isn’t this the reward my husband returned the last time? Princess is really thoughtful. You even helped My Royal Highness ask for a reward before he returned.”
Her words pointed out that she had lied just now.
Zhaoyang’s face turned red as she glared at Su Yan angrily, “Who do you think you are?”
Gu Ruoyun’s expression immediately darkened as he pulled Su Yan behind him and said, “This is my princess consort.”
The coldness in his eyes made Zhaoyang unconsciously take a step back.
He looked at Gu Ruoyun with teary eyes.
He was unmoved by this delicate beauty and ordered coldly, “Send the princess back to the palace.”
“No need, I can leave on my own.” Zhaoyang could not stay any longer and turned to leave with reddened eyes.
Gu Ruoyun really did not send anyone to see her off.
Zhaoyang was so angry that she stomped her feet outside the imperial residence.
Gu Ruoyun turned around and looked at Su Yan. His eyes were filled with a smile as he said, “Satisfied, little vinegar bun?”
Zhaoyang’s expression was still cold, but the emotions in her eyes had visibly softened. She scoffed coldly and turned around to return to the palace.
The housekeeper stepped forward at the right time and asked, “Your Highness, should we return these rewards or not?”
Gu Ruoyun replied coldly, “Keep them in the storeroom.”
The housekeeper accepted the order and went to deal with it.
Gu Ruoyun followed Su Yan into the room one after the other.
Su Yan was holding an outer garment in her hand and was deep in thought.
When she saw Gu Ruoyun enter, she hurriedly said, “Take off your clothes.”
Gu Ruoyun raised an eyebrow in surprise. He did not expect her to be so bold.
Seeing that he was not moving, Su Yan frowned and immediately started to work on her own.
She had just unfastened his belt when Gu Ruoyun hugged her. His voice was low and hoarse, “Little girl, you’re still young. You have to bear with this kind of thing.”
Su Yan frowned and said, “What does this have to do with age? I can’t bear it.”
She then continued to move. Gu Ruoyun allowed her to do as she pleased, but his eyes grew darker and darker.
Su Yan, who had not noticed at all, took off his outer robe and smiled in satisfaction.
She turned around to retrieve the clothes she had just found and was about to help him put them on when he pulled her into his embrace from behind.
His slightly hoarse voice rang out once again, “Since you cannot take it anymore, then I shall satisfy you.”
Just as Su Yan was feeling puzzled, she felt a hand pulling on her own clothes.
She pressed down and asked, “What are you doing?”
Gu Ruoyun turned her around and asked, “Weren’t you the one who took off my clothes first?”
When she saw the look in Gu Ruoyun’s eyes, Su Yan’s face turned red and she hit his chest. She replied, “What are you thinking about? I just want you to change your clothes. Princess Zhaoyang touched you just now.”
Gu Ruoyun’s eyes flashed with a hint of pity.
Su Yan glared at him angrily and asked, “What exactly are you thinking about?”
Gu Ruoyun smiled and replied, “I miss you.”
He then sighed and looked at her resentfully, “You have to grow up quickly.”
Su Yan threw his clothes into his arms and walked to the side with a red face to pour herself a cup of tea to drink. Only then did the warmth on her face ease.
Gu Ruoyun put on his clothes and said, “I’m going on an expedition tomorrow. If you find it boring in the imperial residence, you can go to the Su family. If you need anything, just look for An Yi. You don’t have to be afraid of anyone. I’m here to protect you in the capital. You can do whatever you want.”
Su Yan giggled, “Do whatever I want. Am I a crab?”
However, when she thought about how he was going to leave the next day, Su Yan still felt a little sad. She lowered her head and said, “You have to be well. Don’t get hurt. I’ll wait for you in the imperial residence.”
Gu Ruoyun nodded in agreement.
The next morning, Su Yan was wakened up as dawn broke.
She looked at the person who had changed into his armor by the bed in a daze and mumbled, “You’re leaving so early.”
Gu Ruoyun, who had wanted to sneak away, did not expect to wake her up. He stroked her head and said, “It’s still early, you should continue to sleep.”
