Chapter 47: Encountering a Beauty
Su Xing was shocked. What did Ye Wan want to do?
Does she want to harm Ye Linghan? Is she really Mu Yuanhou’s accomplice?
Thinking of this, he became extremely anxious and wanted to remind Ye Linghan immediately.
But what if it’s not?
When he thought about the consequences if he guessed wrong, he hesitated again.
By then, not only would his life be in danger, but Ye Linghan would also be misunderstood.
He could only wait and see, praying silently in his heart that nothing would happen.
So he became more alert and even quietly quickened his pace, moving closer to Ye Linghan, so that he could be alerted in case anything happened.
Ye Linghan felt Su Xing approaching. He felt strange at first, and then uncomfortable. Why was this guy getting so close to him in public?
But then, he discovered that the smell on Su Xing's body was much fresher than the scent of powder on the maids and old women around him, which made his breathing, which he had been holding back, much smoother.
So he couldn't help but slow down his pace and keep up with Su Xing's pace.
Su Xing had no idea what Ye Linghan was thinking. He was observing his surroundings vigilantly, ready at all times.
The courtyard outside the front hall is the garden they passed by when they came here. Ye Wan stopped here after sending them here.
After a brief greeting, Ye Linghan turned and left.
Su Xing breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had overthought it. The look that Ye Wan gave to the old woman should have nothing to do with them.
At this moment, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared not far ahead.
The first thing that catches the eye is the tall one, which is tall and slender, graceful and charming, making people unable to take their eyes away once they see it.
Su Xing was stunned. There was such a beauty in the Ye Kingdom. She was even more attractive than Queen Mother Xia Yunxi.
The closer he got, the more shocked Su Xing was, and his eyes widened.
In fact, this beauty is as beautiful as Empress Dowager Xia, but she is younger and more energetic, as if she has her own halo, and is very dazzling.
Who is this girl? Su Xing was full of curiosity.
"Ling'er pays respect to the Regent."
A smart and sweet voice slowly entered Su Xing's ears, and he felt his bones soften...
In his opinion, no man can resist such a voice and he would immediately turn into a bootlicker.
But Ye Linghan was an exception. Although Su Xing lowered his head and couldn't see Ye Linghan's expression, he could tell just by listening to his voice...
"No need to be so polite." Ye Linghan's tone was even colder than when he spoke to Ye Wan just now.
Su Xing was shocked. Is Ye Linghan a man? Facing such a beauty, how could he...
He felt a little sorry for the girl, so he couldn't help but take a quick look at her.
To his surprise, the girl did not seem unhappy at all, but instead smiled even sweeter than before.
"Ling'er didn't know the Regent was coming, so she was unable to come and pay her respects in time. Please forgive me, Regent."
"It's okay." Ye Linghan was still as cold as ever, even with a hint of impatience.
Su Xing felt sorry for the girl again, and at the same time condemned Ye Linghan immensely.
Ye Linghan, you are so rude. How can you treat a little girl like this?
The girl's face was indeed embarrassed, but she soon smiled sweetly: "Ling'er met the Regent five years ago. I wonder if the Regent still remembers him?"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Linghan with eyes full of expectation, and the two little hands in front of her unconsciously clasped together.
Su Xing's heart unconsciously tightened when he saw this scene. He was afraid that Ye Linghan would say the three words "I don't remember". That would be too cruel...
So he turned his head slightly and stared at Ye Linghan with his eyes.
Ye Linghan didn't remember it at all. He was going to say it directly, but after feeling Su Xing's gaze...
For some reason, he nodded: "I remember."
Although still as cold as ever, Luo Ling'er was already very satisfied. She opened her eyes wide with excitement, her eyes full of light.
After a moment, a shy look suddenly appeared on her face: "Then... can Ling'er still call you cousin like she did back then?"
After saying this, her face couldn't help but turn red. She immediately lowered her head, both because she was too shy to look at Ye Linghan and because she was afraid that Ye Linghan would reject her.
Su Xing was stunned. Cousin?
This girl is...
His mind turned slightly, and he immediately understood that this girl should be Ye Wan's daughter, so she called Ye Linghan cousin.
They are my cousins...
When Su Xing thought about the relationship between cousins since ancient times, he suddenly felt like he was watching a play.
Although Ye Linghan looks a few years older than Luo Ling'er and their temperaments are quite different, they are still a good match if you only look at their appearance.
Plus, Ye Linghan said he wanted to get married, so he felt even more that...the two of them were a good match...
Su Xing was thinking very attentively, and an expression of blessing appeared on his handsome face.
This happened to be caught by Ye Linghan out of the corner of his eye...
Ye Linghan's face suddenly darkened, and his tone became many times colder than before: "Is this how your aunt taught you?"
After these words were spoken, Luo Linger was stunned where she stood.
The next moment, his originally rosy face turned pale in an instant, and even his body was shaking slightly.
With a "thump!", Luo Ling'er knelt on her knees and said in a trembling voice: "Regent, please calm down... Ling'er knows I was wrong... Woo woo woo..."
This scene made everyone feel distressed, but Ye Linghan only felt irritated.
All that remained in his mind was Su Xing's face, which was filled with blessings and made him look very unhappy, and he couldn't get rid of it.
He looked at Luo Ling'er coldly, and after a while, his thin lips moved slightly: "This won't happen again."
After saying that, he turned around and left coldly without waiting for Luo Linger to get up.
Su Xing was stunned. Is this Ye Linghan... still a human?
He really wanted to say something to comfort Luo Ling'er, but he felt it was inappropriate.
After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to wink at Luo Ling'er's maid, then ran after Ye Linghan who had already walked away.
When he caught up with Ye Linghan, panting, he could no longer hold back his patience.
"Prince Regent," he asked a little aggressively, "How can you . . . "
Halfway through his words, Ye Linghan suddenly turned his head. The displeasure in his eyes scared Su Xing half to death, and he couldn't finish his words no matter what.
Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing for a moment and asked coldly: "Why don't you say anything?"
Su Xing lowered his eyes in panic, cold sweat breaking out on his back.
Is he tired of living?
Su Xing thought that if he just pretended to be timid and kept silent, the matter would be over. However, he did not expect that Ye Linghan would hold him tightly and said, "I am asking you a question!"
Su Xing was so frightened that he trembled in his heart. He was forced to look at Ye Linghan, then lowered his head and sincerely admitted his fault: "I deserve to die. Please calm down, Regent!"
Finished!
I asked you to be gentle and kind to women, but now you’re in trouble, aren’t you?
Ye Linghan's expression eased a little. He stared at Su Xing's round head for a while before retracting his gaze and continuing to walk towards the gate.
Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly followed.
Not long after he left, he heard Ye Linghan's voice again: "What do you think of the eldest princess?"
