Chapter 1163: Chapter 1159: An Ordinary Loving Couple
He clung to her like a persistent plaster. How could he be taken away by Leng Shuqing?
She wasn’t worried at all.
Chu Yihan, with his arm wrapped around Su Yingxue’s waist, strolled down the bustling street looking every bit the affectionate couple, “As long as you understand. Concubines have their uses, and I have never mistreated them, but there are things that are absolutely not to be shared with others, such as myself and everything between you and me.”
Nothing could be shared with others!
They were husband and wife; there was no room for anyone else between them.
Su Yingxue covered Chu Yihan’s approaching face with her hand, “I got it! Let’s have someone make her some food when we get back and send some palace guards to protect her.”
Chu Yihan was pushed away once, but still took the opportunity to steal a kiss. His voice, deep and tinged with a sexy intonation, “Mhm.”
A couple followed behind them, seemingly out for a leisurely stroll.
But Zi Wei’s gaze, from start to finish, was fixed on Su Yingxue. He didn’t even notice Yue Lian twisting her ankle beside him.
Yue Lian’s ankle throbbed painfully. She was already ill with a cold that had yet to recover fully, and it was now troubling her even more.
But today, Zi Wei had decided to go out for a walk, and she absolutely could not fail to accompany him.
The moment she left, Zi Wei’s presence could easily be detected, and it would not be so easy for him to keep watching Su Yingxue.
Yue Lian endured the pain, limping along behind Zi Wei. With Zi Wei naturally walking quickly and not minding her, they quickly became separated and Yue Lian called out for him on the street, “Hubby! Hubby! Zi Wei!”
Her voice was quite loud, and not far away, Su Yingxue seemed to hear something and looked back.
Yue Lian almost got spotted by Su Yingxue when a dark figure quickly flashed by, pulling her into an alley.
Yue Lian leaned against a strong embrace; the man’s hand firmly covering her mouth left her no gap to make a sound.
Looking up, Yue Lian saw Zi Wei with a tense expression.
He truly wanted to go out and see that person, but he dared not, so he could only hide here with her.
Su Yingxue passed by the outer alley, turning here and there, pulling Chu Yihan’s hand, and murmuring in puzzlement, “I clearly heard someone calling out for Zi Wei!”
Her ears were perfectly fine!
But after looking around, not only did she fail to see a glimpse of Zi Wei, she couldn’t even feel a trace of his presence.
Behind her, Chu Yihan’s face turned very stern, “Can you still think of that Zi Wei from a thousand miles away in Lingnan?”
Su Yingxue turned around to see his sullen face and reached out to tweak it, “What are you thinking? I must have heard wrong. I’ve been feeling Zi Wei’s presence these past few days, so I wanted to look for him! But…”
Su Yingxue lowered her head, smiling tenderly, “He should be living happily with Yue Lian. Maybe they even have children by now!”
Thinking of Zi Wei’s loyal protection in the past, Su Yingxue felt a warm gratitude. She sincerely hoped that Zi Wei could be as happy as she was, to make up for the hurt he had suffered before.
Walking back with Chu Yihan’s hand in hers, Su Yingxue discussed with him, “Now that things here are settled, when we return to the palace, let’s have the embroidery workshop make some clothes and toys for the children and send them to the Yue family in Lingnan as our blessing, okay?”
Chu Yihan refused coldly, “Not good.”
“What did you say?” Su Yingxue could see he was starting to be stubborn.
Chu Yihan, seeing her puff up her cheeks in anger like a soup dumpling, prodded her cheek to tease her into laughter, “Alright, whatever the empress says is good! I will listen to you.”
