As Liang Yue listened, she covered her lips with a handkerchief, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.
"You dare to talk back to me like that? Don't you want your head anymore?"
The words had barely left his mouth when Yuwen Xu's voice rang out.
"Please escort the princess out."
Liang Yue was taken aback.
The next second, his body froze.
"Your Highness??"
She clearly couldn't believe that the prince had summoned the shadow guards to ask her to leave?
Those shadow guards were people who carried out orders; they always obeyed Yuwen Xu without caring about the other party's identity.
Liang Yue opened her mouth as if to say something, but then she was dragged away by two guards.
She was so frightened that her mind went blank, and all she could hear was a series of sounds.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I am here on the Emperor's orders! You cannot do this!!"
After the princess was carried out, only Su Yan and Yuwen Xu remained in the room.
The study door was closed tightly.
Yuwen Xu raised his eyes and looked at her.
Su Yan blinked, and her tears dried up.
Oh, so those people weren't there to beat her up after all. All that crying for nothing.
She stood there, her attention shifting to the food on the table.
Hmm, I didn't eat lunch, I'm hungry.
Although I was determined to leave just now, now... should I finish eating before I go?
It looks delicious.
Su Yan, dressed in white, stood gracefully at the door of the study, looking extremely beautiful.
It was this gaze that seemed to be trying its best to look away from the food on the table, but it would soon fall back on it again.
Yuwen Xu stared at her with his dark eyes for a long while before speaking softly.
“I have nothing to do with her, and I’m not having lunch with her.”
The emperor issued an edict ordering him to marry the princess.
Today, Liang Yue has come with the Emperor's decree, saying that she wants to meet more often to foster their relationship.
Although he now holds power, he still has to give face when the emperor issues an edict, and was originally going to give a gentle refusal.
After noon today, I planned to find some excuse to refuse.
Little did they expect that she would happen to see them.
He acted as if he were a heartless man who was about to abandon her.
Su Yan pouted as she listened to his words, and couldn't help but ask again.
"Then why haven't you seen me for so long? Why don't you eat with me?"
Yuwen Xu's eyes flickered, but he lowered his gaze and stopped looking at her.
The sound was very soft and faint.
"I originally wanted to see if I could get by without eating with you in the future."
Su Yan's attention was focused on the table full of fragrant food, especially the roast goose.
Hmm... I want to eat it.
As a result, I didn't concentrate on listening much.
"Huh? What?"
She asked again.
Yuwen Xu paused.
He concealed the look in his eyes.
The turmoil in his eyes gradually subsided, and he returned to his usual self.
He tapped his fingertips on the table.
He seemed somewhat nonchalant.
Why don't you come and eat with me?
Su Yan pursed her lips.
“I’m here, but they turned me away, saying I was too busy.”
She spoke with such conviction, saying, "Yes, it's all his fault."
He gave a faint smile.
"Oh? I'm not busy today?"
"···busy."
"Why did you still come in?"
"I forced my way in!"
"Why did you try to force your way in today? Why didn't you try in the past few days?"
"I····"
Su Yan was at a loss for words.
Uh...right, why didn't she try to break through the barrier a few days ago, but had to do it today?
He raised his eyelids,
"Or perhaps you were eating a whole table of food by yourself a few days ago, with no one watching over you or keeping you in check, and you were enjoying yourself so much that you completely forgot about me?"
