Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“You have a son, and so do I!”
They were both princes, not the crown prince. Who could be more noble?
Chu Jinling knew that his mother was always strong-willed but never forced him. So, in front of others, he never allowed his mother to lose face, lie even took the opportunity to praise Su Yingxue in front of Chu Mingyuan, saying, “Father, Miss Su’s medical skills are truly remarkable. Just look at Miss Lin’s face. Many doctors couldn’t help her, but Miss Su cured her. She’s become so beautiful now!”
Chu Mingyuan, upon hearing this, looked at Lin Sisi. He remembered how unattractive Lin Aotian’s daughter’s face used to be. He sometimes even considered arranging a marriage for Lin Sisi, but the compatibility was lacking.
But now, this young girl’s face had improved significantly, and she seemed more lively.
“This is all thanks to Su Yingxue. Reward her!” Chu Mingyuan waved his hand, and Lan Ling immediately brought a glass of wine to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue drank it publicly as a gesture of respect.
From a corner visible to Chu Jinling, Su Yingxue blinked at him, as if saying, “A pleasant collaboration!”
“A pleasant collaboration!” Chu Jinling whispered back, then bounced back to his seat.
However, before he could even settle in, Mo Qi approached him. “Ninth Prince, Your Highness is summoning you.”
“Can I sip water before I go?” Chu Jinling said helplessly.
He had been hopping around like a cricket for half a day and was exhausted!
Mo Qi didn’t answer him. Instead, he took a step away and motioned for him to look at Chu Yihan’s face.
Such a good-looking face was now cold and dark. How dark was it!
Chu Yihan seemed like saying, “You still dare to drink water?”
Chu Jinling’s legs wobbled, and he hurriedly rolled over to Chu Yihan’s side.
Su Yingxue observed, unaware of what Chu Jinling had said to Chu Yihan. While Chu Yihan’s demeanor had been frosty and distant moments ago, once Chu Jinling left, it was as if the winter chill had melted away, replaced by warmth.
Especially when Chu Yihan glanced her way, his eyes tender.
Su Yingxue quickly lowered her head, feigning ignorance, not allowing anyone to notice the special connection when Chu Yihan looked at her.
As she lowered her head, Chu Chengye perceived it as shyness.
Chu Chengye still remembered the first time Su Yingxue confessed to him. She had just received a vase, an odd thing from somewhere, and she brought it to him, her voice crisp and tender. “Seventh Prince, you’re so handsome. This is the prettiest one for you!”
Back then, it wasn’t the vase that caught his attention, so he had no idea where that vase had ended up.
What had captured his gaze was Su Yingxue’s eyes, as pure as glass, and the beauty that had begun to bloom.
Unfortunately…
It had been a long time since she had smiled at him that way.
Chu Chengye persisted, keeping his gaze on Su Yingxue.
Finally, when Su Yingxue’s eyes fell on him, he didn’t see the adoration and shyness of a young girl. Instead, he saw indifference.
Su Yingxue’s gaze didn’t linger, moving away as if she were looking through empty air.
Chu Chengye clenched his fist, slamming it onto the table in frustration.
Chu Xiuwen, who had been observing women, was suddenly brought back to reality.
A sly smile curved his lips. “Seventh Brother, don’t be so impatient. It’s just a woman. There are countless ways to win her over! Even if you want to bring her into the family and have some fun, there’s no need to rush this moment!”
Though Chu Chengye wasn’t as casual about matters of the heart as his third brother, Chu Xiuwen’s experience with women over the years made him highly attuned to their psychology. Following his advice wouldn’t lead to any mistakes..
