“Alright, you didn’t, you didn’t think about Ninth Prince!” Wu Jinyan teased her.
In these past few days, Su Yingxue’s tightly held emotions suddenly crumbled.
Yes, she missed Chu Yihan.
Since her return from the Silver Moon Pavilion, Chu Yihan hadn’t appeared before her as if he had vanished from the face of the earth.
Perhaps, he was simply beyond reach, and nobody had the means to track his whereabouts.
However, he had provided her with a sense of security, an assurance that he would be there whenever she needed him.
Now that he had abruptly disappeared, she felt an overwhelming sense of unease.
Observing her melancholy, Wu Jinyan, understanding her stubborn nature, refrained from further jests. She tidied up the table with Zhilan and left the room.
Upon returning to her chamber, Su Hao was already waiting with a handful of items.
He had scoured the entire city to purchase clothes, accessories, hairpins, and cosmetics.
Wu Jinyan chuckled. “If you keep buying , rumors will spread throughout Jiang Du City that Young General Su is obsessed with cosmetics.”
Su Hao handed her the items, a hint of embarrassment on his face. However, he calmly responded to her previous statement, “I’ve never cared about what others say. 1 only care about you.”
Su Hao held her hand, his palm radiating warmth. “Jinyan.”
His gentle call felt like an invisible hand that had captured her heart.
Wu Jinyan blushed faintly, and as Su Hao embraced her, she didn’t resist.
Leaning into his embrace and listening to his strong heartbeat, she felt at ease.
“Today, 1 noticed Yingxue seemed down. If you have the time, you might consider visiting her,” Wu Jinyan suggested, displaying great empathy.
Su Yingxue might exude strength and courage on the surface, but deep down, she remained a soft-hearted girl.
“Has something happened to her?” Su Hao’s eyes showed traces of urgency.
Wu Jinyan proceeded to share all recent events with him. While they hadn’t attended the spring banquet, Wu Jinyan was well-informed, and Su Hao had heard a bit about it.
When it came to his sister, Su Hao’s chiseled brows furrowed. “If Wu Ruofei intends to cause trouble and harm my sister, 1 won’t spare her!”
Wu Jinyan gently caressed Su Hao’s face, her eyes filled with infatuation. She loved his serious and responsible demeanor. “I’m not worried that my dear sister will stir up major trouble. 1 believe Yingxue can handle her. However, she appears to be missing Ninth Prince.”
“Ninth Prince?” Su Hao was taken aback.
He knew that Ninth Prince had shown favoritism toward his sister, likely due to their grandfather’s instructions.
But Su Yingxue had feelings for him…
Seeing Su Hao’s puzzled expression, Wu Jinyan found it amusing. “You fool! Can’t you see that your sister likes Ninth Prince?”
Su Hao didn’t know how to respond. “Sister, she really… likes Ninth Prince?”
Wu Jinyan smiled and nodded. “Ninth Prince has been exceptionally kind to Yingxue. There are probably very few girls who wouldn’t be moved. A few days ago, the Seventh Prince came angrily to question Yingxue. From what 1 heard, Ying Xue took the Ninth Prince’s Qingfeng Sword. 1 believe Ninth Prince holds her in high regard.”
“She took the Qingfeng Sword?” Su Hao was baffled by the news but equally astonished.
While he couldn’t be certain before, hearing Wu Jinyan’s account made Su Hao confident about one thing, Ninth Prince genuinely cared about his sister.
The Ninth Prince’s treasured sword was a famous ancient sword. It was originally too murderous, so when the Ninth Prince got it, he renamed it Qingfeng upon obtaining it. Apart from the Ninth Prince himself, even his most loyal guards dared not touch it.
It was safe to presume that Chu Yihan had consented to Su Yingxue possessing it..
