Chapter 323 Goodbye Prince

Chapter 323 Goodbye Prince

After not seeing each other for a long time, I thought the longing would fade away, but who could have thought that after seeing her in person, Zhao Jingyu still unconsciously fell into a trance.

It felt as if everything was just a dream, and the woman in front of him seemed to be Su Jin, or like a fairy in a dream. Her every move was slowed down, and bit by bit, slowly and gracefully came into his eyes.

"Your Majesty?"

Su Jin leaned forward to salute, and her every move no longer had the previous enthusiasm and familiarity. Instead, it carried a strange sense of distance, which suddenly woke Zhao Jingyu up. He clearly understood that everything now was the real thing.

Su Jin was deliberately keeping his distance.

She really had no feelings for him.

I felt a sense of loss in my heart, and for a moment I didn't know how to express the words that I had been holding back for a long time.

Zhao Jingyu could only nod politely and said, "Miss Su Liu, please take a seat. You are welcome to come to me."

After Zhao Jingyu said this, Su Jin remained polite. Zhao Jingyu sat in the guest seat, but Su Jin did not dare to sit in the host seat as before. He could only sit diagonally behind Zhao Jingyu, which showed the supreme status of Prince Rui.

This was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Zhao Jingyu. The difference in status was the reason why Su Jin rejected him. Now Su Jin reminded him of the difference in status again, which made Zhao Jingyu feel even more sad.

"I wonder what advice the prince has for you today?"

Su Jin spoke politely, with brows lowered, respect and alienation written all over her face, which made Zhao Jingyu feel even more unfamiliar.

Zhao Jingyu simply stopped talking. He suddenly felt that there was no point in saying anything more.

It’s just that I feel a little choked up in my heart, and there are some things I always want to ask and some things I always want to say.

He thought for a moment and said, "Sixth Miss, there are some things I want to ask you alone."

He glanced at Jin Chuan who was standing next to him, but Su Jin said, "Your Majesty, in order to avoid people saying rumors about you behind your back, some things should be said directly."

Su Jin also wanted to avoid suspicion. It was not easy to suppress the gossip about her and Prince Rui, and now they are meeting alone. Is she dissatisfied that the rumors outside are not enough?

Su Jin was firm in his attitude, so Zhao Jingyu had no choice but to ask, "Did you really just reject me because of your status?"

Su Jin did not hesitate to answer, "Your Highness, yes, I am just a divorced woman with three children. The oldest will be 20 soon, not much younger than Your Highness. I call myself a girl, but I am already a woman. How can I be worthy of Your Highness?"

She spoke sincerely, hoping that Zhao Jingyu would stop being obsessed with her. You are a handsome bachelor in your prime, the emperor's younger brother. There is nothing you can't find among the gods, so why does he have to come to her?

What do you want? Lack of love?

Su Jin couldn't understand, but she didn't dislike Zhao Jingyu. It had been more than a year since the incident, and this was the first time Prince Rui had appeared. At least it showed that this man would not pester her, which was a plus. But unfortunately, if you don't like someone, you don't like him. No matter how good a man is, if you don't like him, there's nothing you can do, right?

"That……"

Zhao Jingyu suddenly gripped the armrest of the chair tightly and leaned forward slightly: "Did that girl ever have a place for me in her heart, even just a little bit..."

Zhao Jingyu was still unwilling.

Now that Gu Changqing is gone, the Yong'an Marquisate has fallen into decline. My royal brother means that while the old lady is still alive, the descendants should enjoy the protection of the Yong'an Marquisate. If even the old lady is gone, the house should be taken back, because without anyone to inherit the title, the descendants are not worthy of living in it.

Even for the old lady, it was because the emperor was kind-hearted that he showed grace to the old marquis because of his merits. If the rules were really followed, the marquisate should have been taken back when the old marquis passed away.

The old lady also benefited from the old marquis.

Therefore, Zhao Jingyu felt that the Marquis' Mansion would no longer have any influence on Su Jin. So now, could he speak out what was in his heart?

Seeing Su Jin looking at him, Zhao Jingyu hurriedly said, "I, I don't have any other intentions. I just want to know the truth. I won't force you to do anything that Sixth Miss doesn't want to do. I'm here today just to hear the truth. After I hear it, I'll leave!"

He explained hastily. The man in his thirties was flustered like a young boy. Su Jin had a great liking for Prince Rui. Her cold eyes relaxed a little, but her facial features were still serious. She saluted slightly, and then said, "Your Majesty, it's my fault."

"?"

Zhao Jingyu didn't understand what these words meant, so Su Jin explained.

"When we first met, I knew it was the prince's carriage, so I bowed first. Later, for various reasons, I was able to see the prince often, and I thought that the prince was a very good person. I also had selfish motives and wanted to use the prince's fame for my own benefit, so I unconsciously tried to please him. If this has caused the prince to misunderstand, I apologize to the prince..."

Su Jin said as he stood up and bowed again.

She blamed everything on herself, saying that she wanted to seek benefits so she flattered Zhao Jingyu. After all, the soap business could only rely on Prince Rui in the beginning, otherwise, no one could get involved. Didn't the heroine Ning Ruolan also start with Prince Rui? Everyone was the same, they took a fancy to Prince Rui's thick thigh and then hugged him tightly.

After saying that, Su Jin looked up at Zhao Jingyu, only to see the man looking at her deeply. It was unclear whether he had heard what she had just said or not. He looked at her as if he had lost his soul, leaving Su Jin at a loss as to what to do for a moment.

When the atmosphere was awkward, Zhao Jingyu seemed to lose his temper, and he actually laughed bitterly, then stood up and said, "So that's how it is. Then I know."

Oh, now I’m the king again and I won’t call myself “I” anymore.

Su Jin was somewhat happy. It seemed that this matter could be put to rest. Prince Rui was a really good person. It was a pity that he was not her type.

"Even so, I won't bother you anymore."

Zhao Jingyu nodded, turned around and walked out. Su Jin stood up to see him off and followed him, looking at Zhao Jingyu's back. Somehow, she felt that the man's back seemed relieved and free and easy, against the rich colors of midsummer. For a moment, she felt a little dazed and unreal.

At that moment, Su Jin felt inexplicably panicked. She always felt that Zhao Jingyu seemed to be going to some distant place and would never come back.

"king……"

Su Jin felt nervous. His body moved subconsciously. His mouth opened, but no sound came out. His brain came back to control his body, so Su Jin swallowed the words in his heart back into his stomach.

Since you have decided not to get involved, it is better not to ask.

As for Prince Rui, he is a prince, how could he not come back? She must be overthinking it.
