What do you think?
With her arms crossed and leaning casually against the sofa, Shu Yi gave a brief but meaningful reminder before glancing at the other person's crotch with a slight upturn of her lips.
Where did your courage to kiss me go?
When she applied the medicine to him earlier, Shu Yi looked so serious with her head slightly lowered that he could only see her fair neck, the angles of her face, and her long, loose curls.
Actually, I didn't have any improper thoughts at the beginning.
She pulled his hand to her side mainly because she was applying medicine to him.
The two of them then got even closer.
He's not some saint or nobleman.
With such a stunning beauty before him, which man could resist?
After she finished applying the medicine, the moment their eyes met, she happened to be sitting under a warm light source.
She seemed to be enveloped in holy light, even her hair was covered in a layer of warm light, she was unbelievably beautiful.
He's not a gentleman, but a common man, which is why he couldn't control his urge to kiss her.
Seeing her back down, I almost thought she had violated some divine law and was going to be executed. I never expected that she was also a carnivore.
Since that's the case.
Why not...
Seeing his furrowed brow as he stood up from the sofa, Shu Yi kicked the edge of his shoe and said with a mischievous smile, "Look at how nervous you look. I won't tease you anymore. Let's eat."
tease?
A clear, gentle teasing laugh seemed to bring Zhang Youye back to his senses. He glanced resentfully at the figure in front of him and followed closely behind her.
"You've got some nerve, daring to tease me."
"What? Can't the Crown Prince be teased?" Shu Yi asked, raising an eyebrow as she sat down in the dining chair.
"Sure, from now on you're my older brother, you can tease me however you want." Zhang Youye nodded helplessly.
Amused by his slightly provocative tone, her previous wild thoughts were long forgotten.
With her arms propped up on the corner of the table, Shuyi ate while bringing up the topic she hadn't finished discussing earlier.
"Actually, I can understand what you just said. I just didn't expect that you would dislike this kind of life so much."
Sitting down in the empty seat next to Shu Yi, and gazing at her serious expression, Zhang Youye took the initiative to pick up a glass of red wine.
After pouring her a glass, he picked up the red wine and gently touched her glass to his. His manner was elegant.
“I’ve never said these things to anyone before. You’re the first to say them to others. They might all think I don’t know how to be content.”
“They’ll say that someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth has no right to complain. But I really don’t like this kind of life.”
Having not grown up in such an environment, Shu Yi was unable to empathize with Zhang Youye's thoughts.
But when she thought of her father's heroic act of leaving home to challenge the powerful for her mother's sake, she could understand his helplessness.
"I don't know how to comfort you, but I understand you. I think my father must have felt the same way you did back then. Being trapped in a world of power, if it were me, I would also feel very powerless."
He tilted his head back and downed the red wine in one gulp, then unconsciously fiddled with the wine glass between his fingers. Zhang Youye pursed his lips and turned his head to meet the gaze of the person beside him.
His eyes turned deep, like a vast abyss, bottomless.
"That's why I asked you those questions. You're a member of the Shu family. Once you enter this new world, there will definitely be many ill-intentioned people who will disturb your peaceful and free life."
"Shuyi, you must think this through. It's not too late to leave the Shu family now."
His expression was unusually stern and righteous.
In all the time they'd known each other, Shu Yi had never heard him speak in such a serious and unquestionable tone.
Considering her elderly grandfather, the current state of the Shu family, the brother and sister, and her aunt who rejected her.
And there are those menacing crowds lurking in the shadows.
Shu Yi put down her wine glass and firmly shook her head.
“I’ve made up my mind. Although I am indeed a person who loves freedom, after learning about the Shu family over this period of time, I think I need to help Grandpa.”
"Putting the past aside, Grandpa wanted to find our family again, partly because he missed us, and partly to deal with those who wanted to take over the Shu family. Unfortunately, my father has passed away and can't help Grandpa."
"You mean you want to help the Shu family drive away those with ulterior motives?" Zhang Youye asked rhetorically.
Nodding in agreement, Shu Yi raised her glass and drank it all in one gulp. She poured herself another glass, and as if remembering something funny, she swirled the glass and chuckled softly.
"Do you know why Shu Qianxin came to see me today?"
"It's obvious without even thinking that it's about a marriage alliance," Zhang Youye said calmly.
"Quite clever," Shu Yi said with a smile, glancing at him sideways. "Shu Qianxin wants me to give you to him so she can marry into your Zhang family. She even said..."
"Then what do you say?" He interrupted hastily, eager for her answer.
Shu Yi glanced at him sideways again, avoiding the main point.
"I didn't say anything, just got a few questions out of her. Then Shu Chuanran suddenly appeared and pulled her away."
What exactly these brother and sister are up to remains to be seen.
After a moment's thought, Shu Yi asked again, "Zhang Youye, have our Shu family and your Zhang family been secretly targeted by the Qin family all along?"
Unexpectedly, the topic turned to the Qin family. Zhang Youye nodded: "You're quite smart, but the Qin family is targeting your Shu family."
"The Qin family has never been able to do anything about the Zhang family. Before you were found, I heard from my second uncle that the company your eldest uncle managed always had problems."
"Fortunately, our two families have a good relationship, so my father will continue to send people to help us secretly. Moreover, as far as I know, the Qin family has given a lot of small benefits to many small families over the years, and they have been working together behind the scenes to do a lot of shady things."
