The Useless Miracle Doctor Consort Is Spoiled Rotten by the Prince!

Chapter 1147: Chapter 1143: I Want to Protect Her

Chu Yihan deeply understood that the current state of Chu Yifeng was the result of his own self-indulgence.

After great trials and tribulations, some emerge even more tough and beautiful, like the Su Yingxue before his eyes, while others, having banished their only salvation, willingly sink into confusion and despair.

“So it sounds… quite reasonable?” Su Yingxue tilted her head, her eyes catching the light of the candles, sparkling brilliantly, like a sprite in the night.

A warmth touched Chu Yihan’s heart. He carried her back to bed, kissed her forehead, “Wait for me, I still have some matters to attend to, then I’ll come to accompany you.”

“Okay!” Su Yingxue wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss.

On a night when she should have been able to sleep peacefully, Su Yingxue felt the presence of a breath lingering around her.

Someone was watching her!

Su Yingxue called someone in to watch the little creature and went to investigate in Song Garden alone.

For several days now, she had this odd feeling that someone was watching her, yet there was no malice; in fact, it was somewhat familiar.

This feeling… it made her think of Zi Wei, thousands of miles away!

Only he could elicit such a strong sense of familiarity within her, no danger, yet she could not easily find him.

She stood in the courtyard, the moonlight stretching her shadow long. She moved her feet, hoping to draw out the watcher. The moon was so bright, it would surely reveal any figure.

But, after moving quite a bit, there was not a single silhouette in the courtyard.

Su Yingxue shouted towards the dimly lit corridor, “Zi Wei, come out! I’ve seen you!”

The person perched on the eaves of the corridor shivered violently in the pupils.

He dared not move, yet his heart was pounding wildly.

Su Yingxue frowned, “It’s not you?”

Then who was it?

She shook her head and went back to her room, continuing her sleep snuggled with the little creature.

Zi Wei, hidden on the eaves in a spot where no one could notice him, felt somewhat relieved when Chu Yihan returned to the room around midnight.

His lightness skill was exceptional. Apart from a supreme master like Chu Yihan, no one could detect him.

He returned to the inn where Yue Lian was staying.

Yue Lian didn’t seem surprised by his late return at all, even insisting on waiting for him at the staircase with a cold, only resting after he came back.

“Yue… Yue Lian.”

Zi Wei looked at her about to enter, and spoke in a cold voice.

Yue Lian was startled, turned around, and looked at him with some surprise, “Hubby, is there something you want to tell me?”

It was the first time Yue Lian heard him call her by name. Although his voice was as cold as ever and his demeanor as indifferent as usual, her heart leaped for joy, as if a thousand birds were singing within her.

“I want to protect her.”

Zi Wei, holding his sword, his tall figure and the intense purple at the corner of his eyes, made him appear all the more determined.

“The empress?” Yue Lian pursed her lips as expected, “I have no objections, but haven’t you refused to even see her face? Now, going back to her side… If it makes you happy, I have nothing against it.”

In the end, his mood was much more important than her love.

“No, she wouldn’t allow it,” said Zi Wei with a hint of sorrow in his tone.

“Then you… intend to conceal yourself near her?” Yue Lian felt that such a Zi Wei would be even more pitiable than herself.

She didn’t want him to be so abject.

Even if he were to go back to Su Yingxue, he should at least do so with the status of a bodyguard and not allow himself to be easily humiliated.

“Yangzhou City, the Xiao family, Chu Yifeng, she is in danger.” Zi Wei had seen with his own eyes tonight how Chu Yifeng lost her son. Had it not been for Chu Yihan’s presence, he would have been unable to restrain himself from acting.
