Although Su Xing had already accepted Ye Zeyu, he still felt unhappy after hearing these words.
Before they were even married, their daughter was taken advantage of.
No wonder Ye Ziyu suddenly treated Xi'er like this; he must have tasted the sweetness of success...
Su Xing grew angrier the more he thought about it, and disregarding his status, he glared at Ye Zeyu directly.
Ye Zeyu wasn't angry; instead, he gave Su Xing a flattering smile.
Su Xing sighed inwardly upon seeing this.
Forget it, he can't control or manage matters of the heart.
Moreover, since Ye Zeyu, as a prince, has already lowered his stance so much, he shouldn't push his luck.
After all, judging from Xi'er's expression, she must have already decided on Ye Zeyu, so he couldn't say anything more.
As long as Ye Zeyu treats Xi'er well in the future, that's fine.
Knowing he had spoken out of turn, Xiao Ce didn't dare to look at Ye Zeyu's expression and quickly made an excuse to go check on the horses before running away.
A short while later, Aunt Zhong came in carrying a plate of freshly baked meat pies.
"Your Highness hasn't eaten yet, has he? Here are some meat pies I just made. Would you like to try some?"
After saying that, he added, "It tastes better than steamed buns!"
Ye Zeyu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Su Muxi.
Su Muxi chuckled and said, "Why are you looking at me? Whether you want to eat or not is up to you."
"...Then I won't be polite!"
Ye Zeyu grinned, his appearance somewhat simple, which made him more approachable.
Ye Zeyu savored the meat pie. At first, he was able to remain calm and praise Aunt Zhong's cooking skills, but as he ate, he began to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Being stared at by six pairs of eyes while eating makes even the best appetite impossible to maintain...
Su Xing noticed Ye Zeyu's unease and coughed lightly, "Ahem! Xi'er, you entertain the prince well. Your father will go to the study to read now."
After saying that, he gave the others a wink.
In an instant, only Ye Zeyu and Su Muxi remained in the dining room.
"Xi'er..."
"Ye Ziyu..."
The two spoke at the same time, then stopped at the same time, paused for a moment, and then spoke again in unison.
"You go first."
"You go first."
Seeing this, Ye Zeyu took Su Muxi's hand from behind and said softly, "Xi'er, do you think this counts as mutual understanding?"
"...No! I told you not to come, but you still came. It's the exact opposite of what I expected."
Su Muxi pretended to be angry, but her shy eyes completely betrayed her true feelings.
Ye Zeyu reached out and grasped Su Muxi's other hand, hesitatingly asking, "Xi'er, do you blame me?"
Su Muxi raised an eyebrow, but quickly understood what Ye Zeyu meant.
"It was strange at first. I finally got a divorce from Qiao Ziming and regained my freedom, but I hadn't been free for more than a few days when you came to propose marriage."
"Your identity destined you to be a huge problem, and I hate trouble the most, so I used to curse you in my heart almost every day!"
"But after last night... I don't blame you anymore."
At this point, Su Muxi paused deliberately, and seeing the expectation and urging in Ye Zeyu's eyes, she continued with a playful tone: "Men all like beautiful women. I'm ugly, so no man likes me. It's not easy to meet someone who says I'm pretty, so of course I have to seize the opportunity! Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll never get married in my life!"
Ye Zeyu naturally didn't believe Su Muxi's words, but he also knew why Su Muxi had accepted him.
But he didn't want Su Muxi to keep talking about how ugly she was, and he also couldn't stand hearing others say that Su Muxi was ugly.
"Xi'er isn't ugly, it's just that those people have no taste."
Ye Zeyu spoke earnestly, his face serious, but this appearance made Su Muxi laugh.
But thinking about marriage, Su Muxi became shy again.
After hesitating for a moment, she tentatively asked, "If the birthmark on my face disappeared, would you still think I'm pretty?"
This might seem like nonsense to ordinary people, but Su Muxi wasn't so sure about Ye Zeyu.
Ye Zeyu paused for a moment, then looked closely at the birthmark on Su Muxi's face before saying with certainty, "The birthmark on Xi'er's face can actually be removed, but you are unwilling to remove it."
Su Muxi didn't expect Ye Zeyu to react so quickly. Her birthmark could indeed be removed, but it wasn't something she could remove on her own.
But then Ye Ziyu continued, "In that case, how about Xi'er keeps this birthmark?"
If Xi'er didn't have the birthmark, she would definitely be as beautiful as an angel, and then a bunch of men would come to compete for her.
So he would rather Xi'er keep the birthmark on her face.
Upon hearing this, Su Muxi's cheeks grew increasingly red.
Should we keep it?
Thinking about how Ye Zeyu was the night before last and last night, I'm afraid I can't keep him...
"...We'll talk about the future later. I'm asking you, what exactly happened between you and Bai Mengying?"
Su Muxi changed the subject.
Although she knew that Ye Zerui's previous statement that Ye Zeyu and Bai Mengying had a close relationship was a deliberate attempt to sow discord.
But she still wanted to hear Ye Zeyu tell her in person what exactly happened.
Ye Zeyu felt genuinely disgusted by Bai Mengying's name, but since Su Muxi had asked, he couldn't hide it from her.
Moreover, he had already told Su Xing about it, so it was even more inappropriate to keep it from Su Muxi any longer.
So he briefly recounted how Bai Mengying had tried to seduce him at the Prince Jing's residence.
Su Muxi stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her fox-like eyes filled with shock.
Bai Mengying appears to be gentle and virtuous, so how could she actively seduce a man?!
Although she knew that appearances can be deceiving, Su Muxi still found this matter very unbelievable.
