Chapter 162 Let Him Go

"The Regent is saying..." Su Xing suddenly broke free from Ye Linghan's arms and looked at Ye Linghan in disbelief: "Let me go back to the Shangshu Mansion?"

Why let him go back?

Didn't he get ordered repeatedly not to leave?

Is there any purpose for doing this now?

Su Xing felt as if his heart was being pulled by someone, and he felt indescribable discomfort.

Ye Linghan thought that Su Xing’s disbelief was because he was afraid that he would lie to him. After all, he had been so forceful in getting Su Xing to stay in the Regent’s Palace.

He felt amused in his heart, but his face turned serious: "You heard it right, the king asked you to go back."

This guy must be so happy, right?

I have been looking forward to going home, and now it has finally come true.

In fact, he didn't want Su Xing to go back at all. Even if he was not in the Regent's Palace, he didn't want Su Xing to leave.

That would give him the illusion that they were really going to separate.

But he had to do this because Su Xing was too prone to daydreaming and he was worried about leaving him alone in the mansion.

Let him go home and stay with his family, he will probably feel much better.

Su Xing originally wanted to negotiate with Ye Linghan to see if he would not be driven away.

But when he heard the unquestionable tone in Ye Linghan's voice, he gave up.

The expedition was imminent, and he didn't want to make Ye Linghan unhappy, mainly because he was afraid that it would affect Ye Linghan's battle.

He suppressed the bitterness and inexplicable uneasiness in his heart and nodded obediently: "Okay, I'll go back."

After saying this, he quickly lowered his eyes because he was afraid that Ye Linghan would see the emotions in his eyes.

Su Xing’s reaction made Ye Linghan feel strange. Shouldn’t this guy be excited or happy? Why do you look so sad?

Is he afraid that he will be unhappy and is deliberately suppressing it?

snort! This guy still has some conscience...

If this guy is really that happy, he will be unhappy!

Forget it, don’t think about these things anymore. We are about to separate, why think about them!

Ye Linghan stopped talking and hugged Su Xing into his arms again.

Su Xing's heart was so cold that it was about to freeze, and tears almost fell when Ye Linghan hugged him.

He really wanted to ask, why should he be allowed to leave? Can't he stay here?

At least Ye Linghan's presence is here, so he won't be too lonely.

But he couldn't ask...

Not long after, Tianyi's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Regent, it's time to go."

Su Xing's heart tightened instantly, and before he was ready, Ye Linghan let him go without hesitation.

Su Xing still kept his head down, not daring to look at Ye Linghan.

Ye Linghan also felt very uncomfortable. He had been on so many expeditions, but had never felt this way before.

At this moment, he actually had the thought of not wanting to go...

how so!

Ye Linghan was startled by himself and his face suddenly darkened.

He admitted that he liked Su Xing, and there would probably be no one else he would like as much as he did.

But even so, it can't affect his going to the expedition!

For him, going to the battlefield is more important than anything else; it is the meaning of his life!

In order to avoid being affected again, he immediately looked away and turned away without even saying a word.

Su Xing's heart was shocked. Ye Linghan just left like that?

He couldn't believe it until he heard the door close.

His red eyes stared at the closed door in disbelief, as if he wanted to poke a hole in it.

The next moment, he could no longer control his worthless tears, even if he bit his lips desperately, he couldn't stop them.

A sleepless night.

The next morning, Su Xing asked Xiao Zhuzi to pack his luggage and return to the Shangshu Mansion.

Xiao Zhuzi was very confused: "Sir, didn't you say you were afraid of making the master and his wife worry when you go back?"

"Oh." Su Xing suppressed his sadness and replied calmly, "I thought about it last night. You are right. After all, we are not from the Regent Palace. It is not appropriate for us to stay here."

Xiao Zhuzi always felt that something was wrong, but after Su Xing finished speaking, he turned away, as if he didn't intend to continue the topic.

Xiao Zhuzi didn't think much about it and agreed, "Okay, sir, I'll clean it up right away."

Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He was really afraid that Xiao Zhuzi would continue to ask questions.

In his current state, he would be defeated after just a few words, which would not only be embarrassing, but would also make Xiao Zhuzi worry.

In order to divert his attention, he decided to go for a walk outside.

But as soon as I reached the door, I saw a figure that shouldn't be there, and I was stunned.

"Guard Tianyi... why are you here?" Su Xing felt a little expectant in his heart. Could it be that Ye Linghan hasn't left yet?

"Mr. Su." Tianyi bowed his head slightly and said respectfully, "The master ordered me to stay and protect Mr. Su."

Su Xing was stunned again. Protect him?

Why?

"Master Su." Tianyi explained as instructed: "The master is afraid that the last kidnapping incident will happen again, so he specially ordered me to stay with you."

"The reason why the master didn't tell you in advance was because he was afraid you would refuse."

Su Xing was shocked by the endless stream of information and didn't know what to do. Ye Linghan actually did so many things...

At this moment, the emotions that had been suppressed all night were instantly soothed, and the originally empty heart was filled.

Even though he hadn't slept the whole night, he didn't feel tired.

Tianyi is the person Ye Linghan trusts the most. He keeps the person he trusts the most by his side. This is more convincing than anything else.

He no longer hesitated whether to stay in the Regent's Palace or not.

But he felt guilty...

"Guard Tianyi, I'm going back to the Shangshu Mansion. As long as I don't go out, I won't be in danger." Su Xing said seriously, "You should go back to the Regent. He needs you."

Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, Master Su, the master is accompanied by Tianer and the secret guards, nothing will happen."

Su Xing wanted to persuade him again, but Tian Yi had no choice but to say, "If Master Su is worried about the master, he should not let his subordinates go. Otherwise, the master will worry about your safety and will definitely not be able to concentrate on the battle. Don't you think so?"

Su Xing was stunned by the question, and before he could think of what to say, his face turned red.

He lowered his head in embarrassment and replied softly: "I...I know."

Tianyi was right. What he thought was good for Ye Linghan would actually affect him.

Hey, why is he always not thoughtful enough?

Fortunately, Tianyi reminded him, but doesn’t Tianyi feel angry about staying with him?

What is his status now?

He actually asked Tianyi to protect him personally...

After struggling for a moment, he asked the question that had been in his mind: "Guard Tianyi, do you hate me and the Regent?"

He didn't dare to ask because he was afraid that Tianyi's answer would be unacceptable to him.

But he would never blame Tianyi. After all, their relationship was not popular in itself.

Tianyi was a little confused. He blinked and asked in confusion, "Why do I hate you?"

Su Xing heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax completely. He said awkwardly: "We... are all men after all..."

Tianyi seemed to be struck by lightning and immediately looked extremely embarrassed.

"That..." Tianyi was extremely anxious. It was the first time for him to face such an embarrassing situation. He didn't know what to say so as not to let Su Xing misunderstand him.

Finally, his brain suddenly pulled, and he actually said: "Don't worry, Master Su, there is no law that stipulates that men cannot be the regent princess!"

Su Xing: ...
