Chapter 538: The Regent King Wants a Kiss 69 [Alliance Leader Bonus]
Always talking nonsense, not a single word spoken clearly.
Having said that, Su Yan glanced at Yu Wenxu and spoke up,
"Are you here to take me back for dinner?"
Yu Wenxu curled his lips into a smile and nodded,
"Have you eaten enough? I had the chef prepare Furong Cake."
Su Yan immediately shook her head,
"I haven’t eaten my fill."
Yu Wenxu smiled faintly,
"Go eat then."
Su Yan took a step, ready to leave.
After walking just two steps, she noticed he hadn’t moved.
"Aren’t you going?"
As she spoke, she planned to come back and push him to go.
Yu Wenxu grabbed her hand and kissed it lightly,
"Do you know who he is?"
Su Yan glanced at the man,
"Someone from Shayun Country."
Yu Wenxu nodded, his eyes filled with indulgence and helplessness,
"Did you just hit him?"
Su Yan nodded, considering that Xuanyuan Qing was still pale and holding his arm.
Yu Wenxu pinched her hand and said,
"This is during a palace banquet; if it gets out, it won’t reflect well on Daliang Country. I’ve discussed it with him, and we’ll head back."
Su Yan didn’t understand court affairs, but since he said so, there must be a reason.
"Why not, I’ll stay with you."
Having made up her mind, she stood before him, resolved not to go back for the food just yet.
Yu Wenxu’s eyebrows raised slightly,
"Didn’t you just say that the Third Prince of Shayun Country has a problem with his brain? Not only that, but you’ve also injured him. Standing here now, there might be another misunderstanding that you want to hit someone."
Su Yan was conflicted,
"But..."
"Furong Cake should be eaten while it’s hot; if we wait any longer, it might get cold."
She gulped and finally said,
"Then, I’ll wait for you at the banquet."
Watching her eagerness to eat, the smile on Yu Wenxu’s lips grew broader.
He nodded,
"Mhm."
Before leaving, Su Yan crouched down and touched his calf.
She looked around.
A little eunuch was the only one following him.
She hoped he wouldn’t be bullied.
But then she thought, this is the Imperial Palace; surely, no major issue would arise.
With this thought,
She walked out reassured.
As soon as Su Yan left, the Imperial Garden quietened down.
Yu Wenxu sat in the wheelchair with his head lowered, the soft moonlight cloaking him in a way that made him appear less regal and indifferent than before.
Somehow, he seemed to have an added aura... of fierceness.
The little eunuch stood beside him, head bowed in respectful silence.
Xuanyuan Qing, still holding his arm, finally felt the piercing pain start to fade.
He looked up at the Regent King, who wielded great power, trying hard to comprehend his thoughts, but to no avail.
He couldn’t see through him.
After a long while, Xuanyuan Qing spoke first,
"If there is nothing else, I shall take my leave now."
His matter with Miss Su Yan had nothing to do with the Regent King.
Since he didn’t speak, it was inappropriate to say more.
But just as he finished speaking, he heard Yu Wenxu’s lips curve, slowly saying,
"It seems that the Third Prince of Shayun Country has special feelings for my future Princess."
Xuanyuan Qing swallowed hard, understanding that he had witnessed what had transpired earlier.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Qing didn’t plan to hide his feelings and spoke out,
"Indeed, this Prince has taken a liking to Miss Su Yan."
Yu Wenxu chuckled, seemingly in admiration,
"Quite a candid answer."
Xuanyuan Qing thought this might be his only chance and decided to make another attempt.
With composure, he let go of his arm, first giving his respects, and then spoke,
"Has the Prince ever considered his future with Miss Su Yan?"
Yu Wenxu lowered his eyelids, fiddling with the sleeve falling down his arm,
"Oh? Have you considered it on behalf of this Prince?"
Xuanyuan Qing nodded,
"Miss Su Yan is like a naive bird, unaware of anything. But one day, she will come to understand and realize, perhaps then, she will regret today’s choice."
