Chapter 493: The Regent King Wants a Kiss 24
Liang Yue listened, covering her lips with a handkerchief, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes
"To talk back like that, do you no longer wish to keep your head today?"
As soon as these words fell, Yu Wenxu’s voice was heard
"Please escort the Princess out."
Liang Yue was taken aback.
The next second, her body stiffened.
"Prince???"
Clearly in disbelief, was the Prince’s summoning of the Shadow Guard truly to escort her out??
Those Shadow Guards, who execute orders, always follow Yu Wenxu’s commands, never minding the identity of the other party.
Liang Yue opened her mouth wanting to say something else when suddenly, she was seized and taken out by two Hidden Guards.
Frightened to the point that her mind was a mess, all she could utter repeatedly was
"Prince, Prince, I am here on an edict from the Father Emperor; you cannot do this!!"
After the Princess was carried out, only Su Yan and Yu Wenxu were left in the room.
The door to the study was shut tight.
Yu Wenxu lifted his gaze to look at her.
Su Yan blinked her eyes, withdrawing her tears.
Oh, so those people weren’t here to hit her; she cried for nothing.
She stood there, her attention now fixated on the table full of food.
Hmm, she hadn’t eaten lunch and was hungry.
Although she had been firm about leaving just now, now..., should she eat before she left?
It looked quite appetizing.
Su Yan, in a white garment, stood at the doorway of the study, strikingly beautiful.
Yet that gaze seemed to try hard to move away from the table full of food, only to return to it shortly after.
Yu Wenxu watched her for quite a while with his dark eyes before speaking faintly
"There is nothing between her and me; I did not intend to share lunch with her either."
The Emperor had decreed that he marry the Princess.
Today, Liang Yue had come with the Emperor’s edict, saying they should meet more to foster affection.
Although power was in his hands now, once the Emperor’s edict had been issued, face had to be given; he had originally planned to find an excuse to refuse gently.
After noon today, he intended to find some pretext to decline.
Unexpectedly, she happened to witness it.
And she looked as if he were a heartless man about to cast her aside.
Hearing his words, Su Yan pouted and couldn’t help but ask again
"Then, why haven’t you seen me for so long and also refused to dine with me?"
Yu Wenxu’s eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze, choosing not to look at her anymore.
His voice was very soft, very light
"The point was to see, if in the future we do not eat together, if we could still go on."
Su Yan’s attention was all on the table full of aromatic food, especially the roast goose.
Hmm... she wanted to eat it.
So much so that she wasn’t really listening.
"Huh? What?"
She asked again.
Yu Wenxu paused.
He concealed the emotions in his eyes.
The turmoil slowly settled, returning to his usual demeanor.
He tapped his fingertips on the table one by one.
Seeming a bit absent-minded,
"Why didn’t you come to eat with me?"
Su Yan pursed her lips,
"I did come, but they stopped me outside, saying you were busy."
She stated it righteously; yes, it was all his fault.
He revealed a faint smile
"Oh? I’m not busy today?"
"...Busy."
"Then why did you still come in?"
"I forced my way in!"
"You knew to force your way in today, why didn’t you do it the days before?"
"I... "
Su Yan was at a loss for words.
Err... right, why didn’t she force her way in the previous days but chose to do it today?
He raised his eyelids,
"Or is it that, in the past few days, eating a table full of food on your own, with no one to supervise or restrain you, you were enjoying yourself so much that you completely forgot about me?"
