“I had this thought before,” Chu Yihan answered honestly.
At that time, he was fifteen years old and had returned from a war. His father had conferred upon him the title of Your Highness and granted him a mansion. He was about to inform his mother of this good news.
While walking in the palace, he was accosted by Su Yingxue, this little girl, who grabbed onto his clothes.
Su Yingxue’s nanny knelt on the ground, trembling. Su Yingxue continued to clutch his clothes, crying incessantly. When he inquired, he discovered that Su Yingxue had wet herself. In his younger days, he possessed a cold demeanor and did not incline to deal with such a small child as Su Yingxue.
However, her cries were soft and heartrending, tugging at his heartstrings. He glanced down and beheld this little girl, barely as tall as his thigh, with a complexion as fair as snow. She was undeniably adorable, and her cuteness melted his heart.
He proceeded to remove his coat and draped it over Su Yingxue.
“I still remember that after your nanny wrapped you up, only your little pinkish-white face was visible, yet you struggled to approach me, reaching out as if to hug me.” Chu Yihan pinched Su Yingxue’s chin and examined her attentively. He could still discern the traces of that tender little face.
However, Su Yingxue’s face was flushed with embarrassment. She chuckled awkwardly. “Thank you, Your Highness, for not… not kicking me aside!”
She had seized Chu Yihan’s clothes within the imperial palace and insisted on hugging him!
Su Yingxue couldn’t believe her audacity. How had she mustered such courage?
Chu Yihan’s decision not to send her flying with a kick was an act of great mercy!
“What happened after that?” Su Yingxue was captivated by his narrative. She sat cross-legged in front of Chu Yihan, inquiring earnestly.
Suddenly, a cold glint of murderous intent flashed in Chu Yihan’s icy eyes.
On the very day, he encountered Su Yingxue before he could rush to the palace to share the news of his new royal title with his mother, she had already passed away.
In her palace, only her lifeless body remained. Not a single living servant could be found.
He had sought out his father, only to find that his father had suddenly fallen gravely ill.
When he shared the news of his mother’s passing with his father, his father coughed up a mouthful of blood and passed away a few days later.
Refusing to attend his father’s funeral, he allowed Chu Mingyuan to ascend the throne.
He sat alone in his mother’s palace, enduring several heavy snowstorms.
Due to his temperament, no one dared to approach and console him.
Yet, out of nowhere, a daintily adorned little girl appeared.
She was clad in a white fox fur coat and a white scarf, her head crowned with snow, resembling a little white ball in the snowy landscape.
She approached him with her short, chubby legs and touched his cold face, her voice babyish as she said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry! You have me!”
At that time, her speech was still somewhat incoherent. She had come to him with his clothes, but what she said next had left him astonished.
“If you give me clothes, I’ll… give myself to you! I… promise!”
“Give yourself to me?!” Su Yingxue suddenly stood up and accidentally bumped her head on the bed’s edge, causing her eyes to well up with tears. “Ouch!”
“I have been stood up by you for so many years, and I’ve never seen you so excited. Why the rush?” Chu Yihan gently massaged the spot where she had bumped her head.
Tears welled up in the corners of Su Yingxue’s eyes. She was both shocked and delighted.
Shocked by her audacity as a child. At three years old, she had dared to tease the current Your Highness Chu Yihan.
She had teased him, yet he hadn’t taken responsibility!
She was happy that she finally knew who had collected her corpse in her previous life!
Chu Yihan had remembered her words from childhood for so many years!
“So, when I confessed to Chu Chengye, Your Highness said I was blind because of this?” Su Yingxue found it amusing, but she also felt regretful..
