Chapter 29



Seeing his flushed face, Ling Lie hurriedly said, "Your Highness, please take care of yourself. The doctor said you must stay in bed and use a wheelchair."

"Get lost." He was so angry that he almost died.

Ling Lie then ran over in a hurry.

Chu Xuanling looked at Chu Li for a long while, looking at him suspiciously.

Chu Li smiled bitterly and said, "As you can see, I am like a useless person at this moment. What can I do? You really misunderstood me. I saw Miss 괗 fainted in front of the clinic, so I brought her here to recuperate."

"Listen to the excuses you made. Do you believe them?"

Chu Li: “…”

"She fainted at the door of the clinic, but you didn't send her to the clinic for treatment, but took half an hour to drive her out of the city? At the very least, I should have sent her back to Prince Gong's residence. Do you think I'm a fool? You found such an excuse to deceive me."

"Believe it or not." She gave him an excuse, although it was a bit ridiculous.

"You..." Chu Xuanling was so angry, but he could do nothing about him.

After all, this is someone else's territory.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell my brother your excuse word for word and see if he believes it."

After saying this, without waiting for Chu Li to say anything, he pulled Ruan Xinchen's cloak from the shelf, then opened the curtain, wrapped Ruan Xinchen in the cloak, carried him away.

Ruan Xinchen was now suspected of having an affair, she dared not say a word, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she could only let him bear it.

The maids knelt on the ground, and none of them dared to look up.

Chu Li's hands were pressed against the armrests of the wheelchair with veins bulging, but she could only watch him take Ruan Xinchen away.

Seeing that they were almost at the door, he managed to say, "The medicine is ready, but she hasn't drunk it yet."

Chu Xuanling said, "Keep it for yourself."

Then he took her quickly into the snowstorm.

His horse was just outside the farm, a tall black horse.

Chu Xuanling held her and jumped directly onto the horse's back.

In order to protect her from the cold wind, he wrapped her whole body in his cloak, leaving only her eyes exposed.

Cloak fastened, she felt her entire back pressed against his.

It seemed as if I could feel the beating of a heartbeat like a drum coming from that strong chest.

Ruan Xinchen's face was red as blood, and she didn't know whether it was due to fever or embarrassment.

She thought this was more like a red apricot wall.

"How about borrowing the carriage from the War King, like this..."

"Don't say anything. As long as you don't say anything, others will think I'm my brother. I'll pretend to be my brother and tell my mother that I took you out to play. They won't suspect anything."

This... seems to work.

No, the reason is fine, but this posture...

God knows how embarrassed she was when the horse started running.

Soon her head started to feel dizzy again. She was unconscious and didn't care about the embarrassment. She just followed Chu Xuanling back to Prince Gong's Mansion.

When he woke up again, he heard Princess Gong scolding Chu Xuanling.

"The weather was fine a few days ago, but you didn't take her out to play. Today, it's snowing so heavily, and you're crazy to take her out to play. She got frozen sick in this cold weather, are you happy?"

"You think you are a delicate girl, but you are really tough and thick-skinned."

Chu Xuanling remained silent.

Ruan Xinchen remembered that he said he wanted to dress up as Chu Xuanche.

Given Chu Xuanche's personality, he would probably just let Princess Gong scold him and not pay any attention to her.

Ruan Xinchen thought that the other person was so righteous and could not be scolded again, so she called the Princess Gong loudly.

"Mother, this has nothing to do with the prince. I am the one who wants to go."

Hearing that she had woken up, Princess Gong hurried to the bedside.

"Xinchen, how do you feel?"

"Much better. Sorry for making mother worried."

Princess Gong felt her forehead and it seemed that it was not that hot anymore.

"You should have a good rest and take your medicine. Don't go out in the winter."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows."

Princess Gong exchanged a few pleasantries and then left.

Chu Xuanling was left in the room, along with Caiyu, who was holding the medicine and seemed hesitant to speak.

Ruan Xinchen had a lot of things she wanted to say to Caiyu alone, but she didn't know how to start now that Chu Xuanling had left.

He could only hold it in for the time being. He drank the medicine Caiyu brought to him, and then Caiyu left.

There is no one here, so Chu Xuanling doesn’t need to pretend anymore.

"Master, thank you. I'm sorry that you got scolded by your mother."

Chu Xuanling sneered, "Now that there's no one around, can you be honest and befriend me?"

Ruan Xinchen blinked, "What do you want to hand over?"

There are some things that she cannot say even if she is beaten to death, so she can only pretend to be ignorant.

"It's no use playing dumb in front of me." Chu Xuanling said coldly, "What are you doing with Chu Li behind our backs? Tell me."

say?

Talk about bullshit.

"No, don't slander me."

"Okay, then let me ask you, when you were sick, why didn't you ask a doctor for help, but went to the hospital yourself?"

"That's because the prince said he doesn't like outsiders entering Cui Garden, and I don't want to cause him trouble."

Chu Xuanling: “…”

"If you don't believe me, go ask him."

He knew without asking that he had said that.

"Why is Chu Li pestering you?"

"I don't know. Ask him."

Chu Xuanling said coldly: "Do you think I don't dare?"

"No, I didn't say you don't dare. Go ask him. If he tells you, please tell me. I want to know why he is pestering me."

Chu Xuanling: “…”

Looking at her pale face, he felt a little wilted, like an eggplant hit by frost.

"You've tortured yourself to this point, but you don't want to spend the wedding night with... with my brother. Do you hate him?"

ah?

Ruan Xinchen was shocked.

How did he know such a private matter?

She dared to guarantee that it was only Chu Xuanche and her yesterday.

Could it be that Chu Xuanling is a pervert and is eavesdropping outside the door?

"That's not true. Don't talk nonsense."

"Oh, you can't fool me."

Ruan Xinchen was too lazy to explain it to him, he could believe it or not.

"Are you keeping yourself safe for Chu Li?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…”

I don't want to pay attention to him, but his thoughts are getting more and more outrageous.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's not true."

"Then why would you rather be sick than consummate your marriage with my brother?"

Ruan Xinchen: "It has nothing to do with you. This is a matter between me and your brother."

"It has nothing to do with me, but it has something to do with Chu Li?"

Ruan Xinchen: “…” Damn it.

"Can you stop guessing? This is nobody's business. This is just between me and your brother. We can consummate our marriage whenever we want. No one can stop us."

Her face flushed with excitement.

Fortunately, Chu Xuanling finally didn't force her.

She heaved a sigh of relief only after he left.

When Caiyu saw Chu Xuanling leave, she dropped the work in her hands and ran into the house.

"Miss, I'm glad you're okay. You scared me to death today."

Over the years, they have depended on each other. If one of them were to end things, it would be like losing half of their life for the other.

Ruan Xinchen wiped the tears from Caiyu's face and forced a smile, "It's okay."

"What happened? That hospital entrance..."
