Chapter 94 A Few Embarrassing Incidents
"Silly girl." Su Wenzhen reached out and ruffled Ye Wanning's hair, a smile on his face. "See, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"
Ye Wanning sniffed, her eyes red, looked up at Su Wenzhen, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Today I heard the news in the courtyard, and I thought... I thought..."
"I thought something had happened?" Su Wenzhen smiled, her eyes full of tenderness. "What did you hear?"
Prince Jin is probably not going to make it... Ye Wanning recalled what she heard at Yichun Courtyard, still feeling lingering fear. After a pause, she looked at Su Wenzhen and smiled, "It's nothing, it's all in the past."
Su Wenzhen reached out and grasped Ye Wanning's hand. "So, you heard the rumors and that's why you rushed back to see me?"
"Yes!" Ye Wanning responded subconsciously, but when she turned her head, she found Su Wenzhen smiling mischievously. She blushed and said irritably, "Don't overthink it. I just came to see if you were alright. If you were really alright, wouldn't I be a widow?"
Su Wenzhen pursed his lips and looked at Ye Wanning. "Seeing you like this, you're not angry with me anymore, are you?" Su Wenzhen smiled and held Ye Wanning's hand tightly.
Ye Wanning felt annoyed. She hadn't brought it up herself, but he had. She raised her eyebrows and forcefully shook off Su Wenzhen's hand. "You still have the nerve to talk back?"
Su Wenzhen was taken aback. He looked at Ye Wanning and, instead of being angry, smiled faintly, "So you're still angry?"
Ye Wanning gave a soft snort, looked at Su Wenzhen without saying a word, her face full of displeasure.
"Alright," Su Wenzhen said coquettishly, "My wife, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"You still remember that I'm your wife!" Ye Wanning glanced at Su Wenzhen, her voice somewhat muffled, "When you were helping others, did you ever think of me as your wife?"
Ye Wanning pouted slightly, somewhat displeased. "To be honest, I didn't mean anything by it. Slapping her was just to teach her a lesson." She then rolled her eyes at Su Wenzhen. "Who would have thought it would become a stepping stone for you to win her heart!"
"Hehe." Su Wenzhen chuckled, "Wan Ning, you're clearly still jealous!"
"Who's jealous!" Hearing this, Ye Wanning looked embarrassed and indignant. She glared at Su Wenzhen and said angrily, "You really know how to flatter yourself!"
"Okay, okay, it's all my fault." Su Wenzhen smiled at Ye Wanning, his eyes filled with tenderness. He gently put his arm around Ye Wanning and said, half-coaxingly, "How could I help them when they bullied you?"
Ye Wanning struggled uncomfortably, frowning. "That sounds nice, but in the end, aren't you the one helping them?"
"Didn't you notice anything amiss?" Su Wenzhen smiled and kissed Ye Wanning's forehead. "They were forced upon me by Su Wenzhen. Who knows what their purpose is? If you deal with them all at once, wouldn't that be letting them off the hook?"
With a soft, fragrant body in his arms, Su Wenzhen sighed comfortably, "If I save them now, they'll think I've let my guard down, and they'll act without restraint. That way, we'll know their ultimate goal, won't we?"
"Speak up! What are you doing, moving around like that!" Ye Wanning scolded, her face flushed. She struggled for a while, but Su Wenzhen still wouldn't let go of her. She frowned unhappily, "Why are you hugging me? Let go!"
"You are my wife, who else should I hug if not you?" Su Wenzhen smiled and tightened his grip, holding Ye Wanning even closer.
"Shameless!" Ye Wanning muttered under her breath.
"Huh? What did you say?" Su Wenzhen squinted at Ye Wanning, his eyes filled with danger.
"It's nothing." Ye Wanning stuck out her tongue and lowered her head guiltily. In the past, when he pretended to be stupid, he always liked to act cute to ask for forgiveness, suppressing her and making her afraid to speak. Now, he always speaks in a sarcastic tone. Thinking about it, Ye Wanning felt a little strange. Why was she always being suppressed?
Seeing that Ye Wanning hadn't spoken for a long time, Su Wenzhen asked softly, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"
Ye Wanning snapped out of her daze and glanced at Su Wenzhen. "It's nothing." She gently pushed him away. "Your wound hasn't healed yet, don't move around."
As she spoke, she looked at Su Wenzhen's wound, and it turned out to be on his left shoulder again. She frowned, "Why is it here again?"
"It's alright." Su Wenzhen smiled, his heart warmed. He looked at Ye Wanning with sincere eyes, "Don't worry, it's nothing."
"How could you be alright?" Ye Wanning lowered her head, her voice muffled. "This is where I was injured last time, and it hasn't been that long..."
As he spoke, Su Wenzhen suddenly grabbed Ye Wanning's hand and forced her to raise her head. Only when she looked up did Su Wenzhen realize that she was crying again.
He sighed and gently wiped away Ye Wanning's tears with a touch of heartache. "I've never seen you cry so much before."
“You weren’t always so troublesome,” Ye Wanning retorted, nudging Su Wenzhen. “Stop making a fuss, I’ll bandage you up.”
Su Wenzhen paused for a moment, then nodded, quietly watching Ye Wanning, as if unwilling to miss a single movement she made.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with the sound of their breathing. Su Wenzhen felt an extraordinary sense of bliss, and her whole body felt warm and cozy.
"Wan Ning".
"Hmm?" Ye Wanning lowered her head and continued what she was doing, her voice unusually gentle. "What's wrong?"
"Wan Ning".
"Huh?" Ye Wanning paused in her movements, looking at Su Wenzhen with some confusion. "Was I too rough?"
"No." Su Wenzhen shook his head. He stared intently at Ye Wanning, and before she could react, he kissed her.
"Brother! How are you? Where is sister-in-law?!"
The door suddenly opened, and Su Wenyan rushed in excitedly, only to find… what he saw! His elder brother and sister-in-law were there! Su Wenyan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately covered his eyes with his hands. "I didn't see anything! You can continue!"
No sooner had the words left his mouth than Su Wenzhen's unusually deep voice rang out, "Su Wenyan, you come here right now!"
Ye Wanning sat on the edge of the bed, her face flushed. She glanced at Su Wenzhen and said, "Since you have something to do, I'll head out first." With that, she ran away without looking back. How embarrassing!
Su Wenzhen raised an eyebrow and watched Ye Wanning walk away. He then looked at Su Wenyan, who was standing to the side trembling, and smiled. "Wenyan, come here."
In the Prince's Garden, Ye Wanning stood by the pond, furiously clutching the flowers in her hand.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
A sound interrupted her thoughts. Ye Wanning turned her head and found a woman standing in front of her. She frowned. "You are..."
"I am a beauty brought back by the Prince." The woman gave a curt bow. "My name is Ning Wanzhi. I met the Princess Consort in the pavilion that day."
"Oh." Ye Wanning drawled as she looked at her. No wonder she seemed so familiar. She paused, looked at her, and asked, "What is it?"
"I saw Your Highness here when I passed by just now, so I came to pay my respects." As she spoke, Ning Wanzhi looked at the flowers in Ye Wanning's hand, "I wonder if Your Highness has any worries?"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly, a little embarrassed. "It's nothing." As she spoke, she threw the flower in her hand into the pond. "I just saw that this flower was quite pretty, so I picked one to take a look."
Hearing this, Ning Wanzhi chuckled and said, "I disagree with what Your Highness says. These flowers also have a spirit. How can you pick them just because they are beautiful and want to satisfy your own selfish desires? That's not fair to the flowers."
"It's just picking a flower." Ye Wanning frowned. "Why are you dawdling like this? Besides, it's not getting in your way. Mind your own business." As she spoke, Ye Wanning rolled her eyes, looking impatient.
Hearing Ye Wanning say this, Ning Wanzhi was not annoyed. After a pause, she looked at Ye Wanning and said, "Your Highness, it's all my fault. I... am sometimes too sentimental, and because of this personality, I am quite annoying."
Ye Wanning frowned, looking at Ning Wanzhi with confusion. This person was really strange, rambling on and on, clearly trying to please her. She looked at her for a long while before asking with some doubt, "Speak, what do you want from me?"
