Upon hearing the name "Young Master Xie," Ye Zeyu gave Xiao Ce a cold look.
Xiao Ce opened his mouth, his face also full of confusion.
He had just knocked Xie Xuan unconscious, so the person outside couldn't be Xie Xuan!
Although Ye Ziyu saw the determination in Xiao Ce's eyes, he was still a little uneasy.
If it's not Xie Xuan, could it be Xie Chi?
Why are so many people looking for his Xi'er so early in the morning?!
Although the wedding was less than a month away, he felt extremely anxious.
He always felt that as long as he wasn't married, his princess would be coveted by others.
"I'm going out to take a look."
Su Muxi stood up, thinking that the person who came to find her must be Xie Xuan, since Zhong Bin would know Xie Chi.
Seeing this, Ye Zeyu quickly followed, saying, "I'll go with you."
Before I even reached the door, I saw Xie Xuan's disheveled state through the crack in the open door.
"Ye Ziyu! You're despicable!"
At the same time that Ye Zeyu saw Xie Xuan, Xie Xuan also saw Ye Zeyu.
Enraged, Xie Xuan lost his temper and disregarded all manners, walking straight in through the open door.
Xie Xuan was soaked to the bone, looking like a drowned rat.
Su Muxi looked at Xie Xuan in surprise, then at Ye Zeyu with a puzzled expression, her fox-like eyes silently asking for the reason.
Fearing that Ye Zeyu might play some underhanded tricks again, Xie Xuan quickly preemptively recounted what had just happened.
"Miss Su, I came to see you today and have something to tell you. I was here first, but when Ye Ziyu saw me, he immediately ordered his men to drag me away and knock me unconscious. If it weren't for the woman who was cleaning early in the morning splashing me with a bucket of cold water, I would still be unconscious in the alley!"
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi looked at Ye Zeyu in disbelief. Seeing Ye Zeyu awkwardly purse his lips, she was both amused and exasperated.
I never expected Ye Ziyu to do something like this...
What did Xie Xuan do to offend him?
Could it be because Xie Xuan came to see her so early in the morning?
Upon seeing this, Xiao Ce hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Highness, all of this was done by your subordinate, and has nothing to do with my master! It was because I couldn't stand his despicable behavior of coming to Your Highness so early in the morning that I couldn't help but teach him a lesson!"
Xie Xuan sneered, "Ha! My actions were despicable? I waited openly and honestly outside the Su residence, how was that despicable?!"
"You're a despicable person for coveting my princess!"
Xiao Ce did not back down and regretted that he had gone too easy on Xiao Ce.
Su Muxi quickly called for a halt, "Alright! Stop arguing!"
He then looked at Xie Xuan and asked, "Young Master Xie, may I ask what you wish to discuss with me?"
Xie Xuan, who had been furious, instantly lost his temper upon hearing this. He stammered for a long time but couldn't utter a single word. His awkward manner disgusted Xiao Ce.
"A real man should speak his mind and get to the point. Why act like a timid little wife? Who are you trying to impress?"
Xie Xuan felt that he was unruly enough, but compared to someone like Xiao Ce who had spent years in the military, he was still far inferior.
He, who was usually so sharp-tongued, didn't know how to retort at this moment, and after holding back for a long time, he could only manage to utter two words.
"…vulgar!"
Xiao Ce rolled his eyes, clearly the description of him as vulgar didn't hurt him much.
Xie Xuan glanced around, then fixed his gaze on Su Muxi. After taking a deep breath, he said loudly, "Su Muxi, what I want to tell you is that I like you!"
Upon hearing this, the entire Su family was stunned.
But then he felt the chill emanating from Ye Zeyu, and his gaze was involuntarily drawn to Ye Zeyu, shifting away from Xie Xuan.
Now that the most important words had been spoken, Xie Xuan had no more reservations.
Ignoring Ye Zeyu, he continued earnestly to Su Muxi, "Miss Su, I know that you are now betrothed to Prince Yong'an by the Emperor, and I am not saying this for any other reason than to let you know my feelings."
"I know this is all very sudden, but I've fallen in love with you, and I fell in love with you even before the imperial decree for our marriage was issued!"
"Perhaps it's fate playing tricks on us. Before I could even express my feelings, you were already engaged."
"But it's alright, I think it's not too late for me to say it now. After all, nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. As long as you're not married, I still have a chance!"
"These past few days I've thought about keeping these feelings a secret forever, but far from forgetting you, my longing for you has only grown stronger. I..."
Xie Xuan's words became increasingly explicit, and Su Muxi's brows furrowed more and more, so she hurriedly interrupted Xie Xuan before he could finish speaking.
"Young Master Xie, please stop!"
"Thank you for your kind words, Young Master Xie. Since you have made your point so clear, I will also make my point clear to avoid any misunderstandings or further delays for you."
"I have never liked Young Master Xie. At most, I thought he was a nice person and I could be friends with him. But now it seems that we can't even be friends."
Xie Xuan was surprised that Su Muxi would reject him so directly. Seeing that they couldn't even be friends anymore, he quickly asked, "Why?!"
Su Muxi frowned. "Does Young Master Xie want me to know your feelings for me, yet still continue to associate with you? That wouldn't be good for you, for me, or for my future husband. So it's better for us to keep our distance from now on; it's better for both of us."
The coldness around Ye Zeyu gradually disappeared, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips slowly turned up. Seeing Xie Xuan standing there in a daze, looking like he didn't want to leave, he said coldly, "Xiao Ce, see the guest out."
