When Su Yingxue heard this, she found it absurd. She took a deep breath. âYour Highness, are you sure you wonât let go?â
Qin Muyan didnât want to release her. He assumed Su Yingxue only knew medicine and was a delicate woman. To his surprise, Su Yingxue delivered a punch to his chest, causing a surge of blood and nearly making him spit it out.
âYouâ¦â Qin Muyan looked at her incredulously.
Su Yingxueâs beautiful face remained cold. âYour Highness, as the one responsible for receiving the envoy, I should show respect. However, if the envoy goes too far, I wonât tolerate it.â
Despite her delicate appearance, her personality was powerful, further earning Qin Muyanâs admiration.
Qin Muyan coughed lightly and said, â1 was rough just now, but Miss Su, you may consider my proposal.â
âThanks, but no need.â
Su Yingxueâs face remained icy. She accompanied Qin Muyan for dinner, strolled around Jiang Du City for a while, and then escorted him back to the palace.
During the journey, Qin Muyan brought up his proposal several times, but seeing that her expression was getting worse each time, he refrained from speaking further.
Su Yingxue sent Qin Muyan off and left without hesitation.
Qin Muyan stopped in the corridor, and his confidant, Wei Jue asked, âYour Highness, are you interested in Miss Su?â
Qin Muyanâs eyes revealed longing. âNo one has treated me like she has. I appreciate her straightforwardness and character.â
He felt even more that she was approachable.
âBut Your Highness has an engagement. Your future princess can only be the daughter of the princess,â Wei Jue expressed concern.
Qin Muyan smiled. â1 havenât found Auntâs daughter. Maybe sheâs Su Yingxue?â
Wei Jue rubbed his nose, disagreeing with his masterâs perspective.
Their princess had been missing for many years. Qin Muyan was rather unlucky. He had this marriage arranged before he was even born. Even the princess couldnât be found, let alone her daughter.
Unfortunately, the imperial family of the Great Wei Dynasty placed a high value on promises, and once a commitment was made, they were determined to honor it. Even if Qin Muyan never married a princess in this lifetime, he couldnât marry anyone other than the daughter of the princess.
However, Your Highness had taken a liking to Su Yingxueâ¦
Wei Jue shook his head, not optimistic about his masterâs romantic prospects.
After dealing with Qin Muyan, Su Yingxue suddenly missed Chu Yihan.
Since their last discussion about marriage, she hadnât seen him for a long time. She thought she might encounter him when dealing with the envoys, but he hadnât even visited Qinghe Palace.
Su Yingxue prepared some medicine in the Marquisâs Manor and then headed to the Ninth Princeâs Mansion.
Upon seeing her, the old steward of the princeâs mansion smiled kindly. âMiss Su, itâs been a while. Weâve missed you!â
Su Yingxueâs smile was warm. Every time she came to the princeâs mansion, it made her feel familiar.
In the study, she found Chu Yihan. He was standing in front of a defense map with a straight posture.
Su Yingxue sighed softly. Indeed, a charming man, even his back view had the power to captivate someone.
He wore a black python-patterned robe, a belt cinching his slender waist, and his long legs encased in fabric. Every movement exuded an allure capable of driving unmarried girls crazy.
Su Yingxueâs heart couldnât help but race.
She stood at the door, gazing at him in a trance. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu Yihan finished marking the last spot on the map and set down his pen. His clear and cold voice carried an extreme magnetism. âCome in. Thereâs wind at the door.â
Su Yingxue snapped back to reality. âOh.â
Chu Yihan couldnât possibly be unaware of her arrival.
However, he knew that she wouldnât get in his way, so he focused on finishing his work.
Su Yingxue approached him. Before she could speak, he held her hand..
