Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
In a narrow alley outside the Marquis’s Manor, Su Yingxue threw herself at Chu Yihan.
She clung to Chu Yihan with both hands and feet, her pouted red lips expressing her reluctance. “Your Highness, why didn’t you stay for dinner? Aren’t you hungry?”
After a busy day, she was starving!
Chu Yihan wasn’t made of iron, after all!
Chu Yihan held her face, his warm breath caressing her cheek. “1 am hungry.”
“Then why are you leaving?”
“Because 1 only want to devour you, but unfortunately, it’s not on the menu tonight.”
Chu Yihan lowered his head and took a bite of her lips. Her soft, red lips were like cotton candy, carrying a tempting, sweet scent that easily intoxicated him, making him lose his senses.
Su Yingxue’s face flushed, and waves of heat washed over her.
This wasn’t the first time she had heard Chu Yihan say this.
But she couldn’t fulfill Chu Yihan’s desires yet.
She rested her head on Chu Yihan’s neck and spoke warmly, “Your Highness, please wait a little longer. Once we resolve the sister’s matter, we can slowly explain everything to grandfather.”
After persuading her grandfather, she could marry him!
“Why do you think I came out now?” Chu Yihan pinched her soft cheeks.
Mo Qi listened from behind the wall and almost stumbled to the ground.
He hugged his sword and sighed. “Do you think severing ties with the Imperial family is that easy?”
Even if Su Han was Su Qingzhi’s granddaughter, severing ties with the royal family would require numerous procedures and face many difficulties!
This matter seemed trivial between husband and wife, but with their identities, it was like a ticking time bomb thrown into the court!
Without Chu Yihan’s intervention, the Su family wouldn’t be able to accomplish this in a short time.
Chu Yihan hugged Su Yingxue’s waist and felt her slender, soft body once again. His voice was slightly hoarse as he said, “Little dumpling, I don’t want to wait anymore. 1 have waited long enough.”
From when she was three to sixteen.
Thirteen whole years.
Su Yingxue raised her head, her eyes reflecting Chu Yihan’s deep affection as if they were an endless galaxy.
Chu Yihan covered her eyes, then turned and left.
The weather was cold, but Su Yingxue didn’t feel it at all. As people passed by the Marquis’s Manor, shivering in the chilly night, she was enveloped in the warmth left behind by Chu Yihan.
Everyone was waiting for her to return and eat. Once she sat down at the table, Su Xinlan sneered in a peculiar tone, “Our Yingxue is getting more capable. She didn’t spend much time with Lord Liang, but she saw Your Highness off so thoroughly that she didn’t even want to come back!”
Su Qingzhi glared at her. “Say another word, and you’re out!”
The chopsticks in Su Xinlan’s hand trembled. She didn’t dare to speak again, but her eyes held a deep meaning.
Su Han explained on Su Yingxue’s behalf, “Severing ties with Chu Xiaotian isn’t a trivial matter. Your Highness must discuss it with Sister Yingxue. It’s all for my sake. Aunt, don’t think negatively. If word gets out, people might think the Su family has ill intentions and tarnish grandpa and family’s reputation.”
Su Han’s words made everyone understand Su Yingxue and silenced Su Xinlan.
Who didn’t know that Su Xinlan was the only one with malicious intentions among the Su family members present?
Su Yingxue was very relieved. Seeing Su Han still sitting with them and even scolding Su Xinlan on her behalf proved that she hadn’t given up.
As for Su Xinlan, Su Yingxue sneered.. “Aunt, do you know how to treat a chronic infectious disease?”
