As everyone gradually left, Su Nan noticed that Chang Le remained motionless. He coughed lightly and said, "There is a difference between men and women. Your Highness should know to avoid suspicion. Shu Moxuan, you don't need to go. I will take Sui Sui back and settle her in myself."
He got too familiar with Chang Le, and started using informal language with her, but Chang Le didn't mind. On the contrary, she felt that this was how relatives should interact.
