Upon hearing this, Su Yu's previously calm expression suddenly darkened, and even her tone of voice immediately became somber, "Is she... alright?"
Mu Beichen paused slightly, but it was only a momentary displeasure. This time he was not angry and said slowly, "You can rest assured, Qianqian is doing very well with me. It is only natural for a man to be good to his wife. However, there is one thing I have to say to you. What is it about you to always be thinking about other people's wives? If you have the time, go find one yourself."
Su Yu glanced at him with raised eyes, immediately seeing through his little scheme. She couldn't help but smile, her thoughts racing, and changed the subject: "Let's get straight to the point, what do you want from me?"
“Su Yu, thank you for taking care of Qianqian for me all these years. This time I want to thank you properly…” Mu Beichen turned his gaze to the bottom of the cliff. The bright sunlight shone down, making his eyes full of golden light. Unconsciously, his thoughts had already flown to the ends of the earth.
Su Yu, however, took everything lightly and didn't dwell on the hidden meaning of his words. She blurted out, "No need to thank me. No matter how good I am to her, it's all out of my own free will."
Mu Beichen, who was on the other side, was lost in his beautiful daydreams when he heard these words and immediately became furious. He glared at Su Yu and said angrily, "Su Yu, what exactly do you mean by saying that?"
He had thought it over a lot before he came, but he never expected that Su Yu would still dare to have designs on his wife. But he had to admit that he was a good person and could be considered a gentleman overall. Presumably, Yu Qianqian did not suggest handing over the world to him for no reason.
"Alright, if you have nothing else to say, please leave. I'm just an unemployed bum, I wouldn't dare waste His Majesty's precious time." Su Yu stood up straight with his back to him, but spoke lightly.
"Wait a minute!" Mu Beichen called out from behind, suddenly stopping him: "My Qianqian asked me to come and tell you that if it's convenient for you, please take some time to meet at the palace. No matter how long you have to wait, the palace gates will always be open for you."
Su Yu thought for a moment in silence, then asked, "Are you really not bothered by us meeting? You know, before, my relationship with her..."
Mu Beichen stepped forward and interrupted him abruptly: "She has already explained the past to me. You were kind to her and had feelings for her, but I believe she can distinguish between kindness and love."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other blankly, and unknowingly, the atmosphere around them became increasingly strange.
Later, on the way back to the palace, Mu Beichen felt much calmer. He rode his horse at a leisurely pace, his thoughts drifting as he became deeply immersed in memories of the past.
Back then, on the long street of Kyoto, he had just arrived from the north city and knew she would definitely pass by. So he made preparations in advance, pretending to bump into her by chance. Heaven knows how excited he was at that moment, watching his beloved run towards him. The sunlight shone on her face, and her bright eyes sparkled with golden light. She grinned at him playfully. In that instant, he was certain that this woman was the wife he would cherish with his life.
