Chapter 497 Husband, all I wanted was a hug.

He was somewhat surprised.

Gu Hanxin remained silent.

Yan Ruyu also felt that this person was probably just curious out of sheer curiosity, and there were only a few things he was truly curious about.

She shrugged slightly.

It means to pretend not to care.

Anyway, they won't have much contact with each other, so it's best to stay away from this senior brother.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go look around somewhere else. You can do as you please." Yan Ruyu said this and had just taken a step when she was stopped by the man's voice behind her.

"I just need to buy some household items, and I can't carry them all by myself. Would you like to come with me?"

Yan Ruyu paused in her steps.

A question mark popped up above my head.

She probably thought she was dreaming.

Without turning around, she subconsciously pinched her cheek, as if wondering if she was dreaming.

The man behind her continued to add, "After you've bought everything and brought it back to the inn, you can go wherever you want. I won't interfere too much with your freedom."

Yan Ruyu, who was still doubting herself, suddenly turned her head.

She stared at the man, then fell into an eerie silence.

She hadn't expected that, upon hearing that she had been married before, this guy seemed to treat her much better.

This was probably the thing she least wanted to believe.

Nodding, she said, "Alright, I'll be kind enough to help you carry some things."

There's always a sense of incongruity when she refers to herself as "elder sister" or "mother."

Gu Hanxin didn't expose anything, but simply nodded and led her to another street.

Not far away at that moment.

Di Huai's cold, deep eyes watched the two people walk into the alleyway in the street, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery and disdain.

He really underestimated Yan Ruyu's ability to seduce men. Even after entering the Divine Calculation Mountain, she was still able to seduce her senior brother there. She was indeed capable.

He gripped the carriage window sill, a strange anger rising within him that seemed to engulf him.

The servant, who was somewhat puzzled, said, "Your Highness, how long should we stay here? Those two have already left."

Moreover, he has already divorced his wife, so why is the prince still following her around?

Regret it?

Since divorcing the princess, Prince Yu has never promoted any of his concubines to the rank of princess.

Everyone is speculating whether the prince has some feelings for Princess Yu.

Emperor Huai Leng snapped out of his daze and said coldly, "Let's go back to the manor."

He wanted to see how long Yan Ruyu could be happy.

I had long heard that the training on Divine Calculation Mountain was extremely rigorous, and the requirements for disciples were even more demanding. If a disciple could not persevere, he or she would either have to roll down the mountain on his own initiative or ask his master to let him go down the mountain for training.

Otherwise, one would have to study metaphysics on the mountain until death, and that death would be brought forward.

Because no one knows what strange things this disciple might attract, big or small ghosts, that could possibly devour him.

A woman of mediocre talent like Yan Ruyu would surely be frightened and leave the mountain.

...

The Regent's Palace.

After Xiao Tang was brought back to the Prince's Mansion by Di Jingling, neither of the couple spoke first.

This atmosphere continued until they returned to the Prince's Palace.

Even Yan Jiu, who was driving the carriage, felt that the atmosphere was strange and terrifying.

The steward and Emperor Youming were both delighted to see Xiao Tang return to the mansion.

Di Youming, in particular, was overjoyed and ran towards Xiao Tang, intending to give her a big hug. However, his arm was pulled away by Di Jingling's large hand as soon as he stretched out his arm.

Di Jingling snorted coldly, "Are you trying to take advantage of my wife again?"

A cold, indifferent voice, dangerous and threatening.

Di Youming was no longer afraid of him and waved his two short arms vigorously at Xiao Tang.

Seeing that he could neither show off his abilities nor get rid of his uncle's control, he finally gave up.

He lowered his head. "Uncle, can't I even hug my aunt?"

There was a sense of helplessness in that weak voice.

Of course, Di Jingling said, "No."

“Husband, all I wanted was a hug. Aren’t you being a bit too demanding?” Xiao Tang spoke up, deliberately speaking up for Di Youming.

Normally, she would never say such things in support of Di Youming, but today...

She felt that she was still very willing.

There was at least a bit of awkwardness between the two of them at Zuiyue Tower.

I suddenly feel compelled to say that children truly are the bond between husband and wife.

Even if the child isn't hers or Di Jingling's.

Upon hearing Xiao Tang's words, Di Youming's eyes lit up. He looked at Xiao Tang expectantly, "Auntie, is it really possible?"

Look at this poor child, even a hug is a luxury he can only dream of.

[That big villain, hmph.]

Upon hearing this, Di Jingling's brows twitched violently, but he eventually released Di Youming slowly.

If the arrests continue, he can foresee that he will definitely be disliked.

Being a clingy person is already enough to make your wife dislike you, but won't being a jealous person make her dislike you even more in the future?

That won't do.

This absolutely cannot be done!

Di Jingling suppressed his temper and could only mutter, "I can only hug you for a little while. If you're envious, go find yourself a wife."

Di Youming was rushing towards Xiao Tang when he heard Di Jingling's words and almost fell to the ground.

He was a little stunned.

Turning my head, I felt both helpless and amused.

Normally, the Ninth Prince is tall and mighty, decisive in killing, and can decide life and death in the blink of an eye.

But when it comes to his own princess, he acts like a three-year-old child…

Emperor Youming felt utterly helpless.
