He was both pleased and angry. How could he do this?

Seeing the anger in her eyes, the Fourth Prince calmly held her and said indifferently, "You deliberately didn't show up just now, were you angry?"

He Yue was baffled. What did he mean? Why was he angry?

Before she could figure it out, the Fourth Prince spoke again: "How could I not know what you're thinking? But you are, after all, the Thirteenth Prince's wife. I couldn't do anything about it in the past, and I won't do anything about it in the future. But you just had to appear in front of me at this time, disturbing my peace of mind. What am I supposed to do?"

He Yue was even more confused.

Is he ill? Otherwise, why would he be talking nonsense? And why would he suddenly act like this?

He must be ill. He Yue reached out to touch his forehead, but the Fourth Prince's eyes narrowed, and He Yue immediately withdrew her hand, blinking, "Is Fourth Prince ill? Should we send the imperial physician to take a look?"

The Fourth Prince stared intently at her, not missing a single expression on her face. Suddenly, his gaze softened: "Are you afraid that the Thirteenth Prince will find out? Don't worry, I won't let him know. Be good and don't move."

Uh, what did he mean by that?

Feeling his breath getting closer, He Yue was startled and bumped her head into his chin. As he frowned and inhaled, she tried to break free from his embrace, but he was extremely patient and held her tightly despite the pain, not allowing her to move.

"What is the Fourth Prince trying to do? He's being foolish!" He Yue was also annoyed and stopped calling him "Fourth Brother."

The Fourth Prince looked at her with a probing gaze, and seeing that she didn't seem to be faking it, his gaze gradually calmed down.

"Since you followed me into this place, you should know what's going on. Why pretend to be confused?"

He Yue retorted angrily, "Can you explain yourself clearly? What's the point of this? When have I ever pretended to be confused? You're clearly talking nonsense yourself!!"

He struggled hard, but still couldn't break free, and couldn't help but feel discouraged.
