Chapter 196 It’s Him?



The obvious contrast between the two makes people even more uncomfortable.

She shifted her gaze to the other side and saw Xu Yichen on the other side, also looking at her.

But that face that looked like Xu Jinghuai seemed to contain the answer he had told him in his previous life, and he felt really upset.

He then turned his gaze back to Xu Jinghuai.

The young man is aloof and handsome.

It is indeed more pleasing to the eye and more comfortable to look at than anyone else.

She held her cheeks and was about to speak again.

But Xu Jingye came over and sat down next to Xu Jinghuai, also facing Yan Yunshu.

His eyes were full of excitement.

"So the girl is actually Yan Yunshu, the daughter of the Prime Minister."

Yan Yunshu looked at Xu Jingye's gentle and flattering face and felt extremely uncomfortable. Out of courtesy, she stood up and saluted Xu Jingye.

After sitting down, Xu Jinghuai frowned.

"Did I invite my royal brother to come?"

Xu Jingye was stunned. He didn't expect that his arrogant brother would be so disrespectful to him.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was interested in Yan Yunshu and that was why he came closer to her. How come only Xu Jinghuai couldn't see it?

In the past, this royal brother was just aloof and quiet, but he still showed courtesy and respect to himself.

But now, he doesn't even give me face.

Could it be that because the Queen has regained her vitality, she no longer takes me seriously?

Thinking of this, Xu Jingye's eyes gradually became cold. He chuckled, but did not insist too much and got up and left.

When leaving, he did not forget to pretend to be elegant and say goodbye to Yan Yunshu.

"Miss Yan, let's talk another day."

The corners of Yan Yunshu's mouth trembled, and she forced a smile without replying.

Xu Jingye felt bored, but couldn't let go of the stunning woman in front of him.

What's more, this woman is the granddaughter of Marquis Wen. Her engagement letter was taken away by the late emperor, and she was destined to marry Yan Yunshu into the royal family.

This is an almost perfect choice for me.

Not only could he fulfill his own wish, but he also won over the most capable faction in the court that could compete with the Second Prince's party.

It's the best of both worlds.

After Xu Jingye made up his mind, he left in a hurry. He couldn't wait any longer. He was now at the age where he could get arranged to marry in advance. Now was the perfect opportunity for him to get ahead of Xu Jinghuai and take Yan Yunshu for himself.

He believed that Xu Jinghuai would definitely not have this idea earlier than himself. After all, Xu Jinghuai was not yet at the age for early marriage.

With that cold and arrogant look, it's hard to see how he could please girls.

Seeing Xu Jingye's leaving back, Xu Jinghuai signaled Yingfeng who was guarding in the dark with his eyes.

A black figure began to climb walls and run straight towards the palace.

"What happened to the Second Prince?"

Yan Yunshu tilted her head and looked at Xu Jinghuai, whose brows were gradually darkening. "Why do you look so solemn?"

The woman was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her once they took one look. Although Xu Jinghuai thought he was not the kind of person attracted by appearance, now he was deeply attracted by it.

Especially this Yan Yunshu, in addition to her appearance that can charm the world, she also has an inexplicable fatal attraction to him.

It made him feel more than just a simple liking and affection for her.

There was also a voice that seemed to be engraved in the bones, shouting, hold her and keep her by your side.

Use everything, use your life!

In fact, Xu Jinghuai was flustered and confused about this sudden feeling, but he always did what he felt like.

So I won't pursue the reason.

He looked at the falling leaves fluttering by the sweet lake, felt the autumn breeze caressing his face, and his fingers holding the teacup moved slightly.

Then, he turned to look at Yan Yunshu and gave a faint smile.

"Nothing."

Yan Yunshu looked into his cold eyes and was surprised to see the shadow of Xu Jinghuai from her previous life in them.

It seems to hide a hint of tenderness that is not easily detected.

Her eyes were red and she rubbed them uncontrollably.

"There's sand in my eyes."

"Why is there sand here?" Xu Jinghuai exposed her.

She laughed awkwardly twice, "That person has autumn wind in his eyes."

"Well, it caused ripples in my eyes." Xu Jinghuai continued.

This surprised Yan Yunshu deeply.

She stopped rubbing her eyes.

"Second Prince, you can actually speak some highbrow language and understand some poetic sentiments."

Xu Jinghuai smiled helplessly, "I already know it, I just don't like to talk about it."

"It's nothing, just tell me what you want to say." Yan Yunshu smiled.

Xu Jinghuai blushed slightly and was about to respond.

However, looking at Yan Yunshu's eyes, which were the same as that day and night, he began to feel indescribable again.

He couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

"Yan Yunshu, who are you looking at through me?"

When this question was asked, Yan Yunshu's heart seemed to be frozen suddenly. She frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.

"You...what did you say?"

Xu Jinghuai knew that his question was abrupt, but he really couldn't tolerate her thinking about someone else through him.

Then he asked again, "Yan Yunshu, who are you looking at through me?"

Looking at Xu Jinghuai's persistence and seriousness.

A wave of heartache that came with prosperity surged into my heart again.

Who is looking through him?

Of course it’s still him!

"Second Prince, I'm looking at you, so it's you."

Xu Jinghuai tapped the table with his fingers and looked at her thoughtfully.

He replied in a decisive tone.

"no."

Yan Yunshu still wanted to explain.

But Xu Yichen walked towards the two of them. He stopped in front of the table and saluted his cousin.

"Cousin, we meet again."

"Shu'er."

Hearing the word "Shu'er", Xu Jinghuai's ears twitched suddenly.

Without even raising his eyes, he gestured for Xu Yichen to sit down.

This cousin was quite good. He was about 60% similar to him, and his personality was even more transparent and sunny, unlike his royal brother.

He is two-faced and hypocritical.

Now he has even set his sights on Yan Yunshu. Who knows what kind of dirty thoughts are hidden under that face? In this case, how can he give Xu Jingye face? Naturally, he will drive him away, the farther the better.

However, after Xu Yichen sat down, Xu Jinghuai discovered that Yan Yunshu was staring at Xu Yichen with a complicated expression.

That face and expression vaguely conveyed a feeling that he could never quite fathom.

It contains a vague and lingering sadness.

This kind of sadness should not appear on a eleven or twelve-year-old daughter of a wealthy prime minister's family.

Could it be that the person she was looking at through herself was Xu Yichen?

Xu Jinghuai's brows suddenly darkened as he looked at the two people who were looking at each other.

The already cold face became even colder.

"You... know each other?"
