“Hey! Don’t be sad. The imperial uncle doesn’t even show a good expression to my father. The only person in this world who can make him smile and treat him gently is my Auntie!” Chu Jinling popped out like a groundhog and gave a flirtatious wink to Lin Sisi.
Lin Sisi clicked her tongue in agreement. “That’s true! After all, not everyone can claim this honor! Dr. Su is both kind-hearted and skilled, and she truly deserves it! But, if word gets out, there might be many women causing trouble for her, like her two-faced younger sister!”
Chu Jinling snorted softly. “Someone who can be my Auntie, can’t she handle women trying to harm her? Just wait and see. Today, I might gather some interesting material!”
“Hey, did you bring the eighth volume of Peerless Martial God? 1 finished reading the seventh volume ages ago, and I’m itching for more!”
“I’ve got it right here. Come on, let’s go read it!”
Chu Jinling and Lin Sisi quietly slipped away to a corner to read.
Meanwhile, Chu Yihan was preparing to teach Su Yingxue how to wield the whip, but Su Yingxue decided to hang the whip on her waist instead and puffed up her cheeks. She said, “Today, I… won’t practice anymore! I’ll practice it at home!”
“Why? Do you want me to teach you at the Marquis’s Manor?” Chu Yihan couldn’t resist pinching her small face again. The sensation was truly irresistible.
As her face was pinched by him, it turned even redder, revealing a pure, flower-like softness that was the epitome of beauty.
“No need! I’ll have Sisi teach me! I don’t want to wield the whip in front of you!”
Su Yingxue was now regretting her decision to start whip practice today. In front of Chu Yihan, she was shouting and fighting like she wasn’t a delicate young girl at all. After a while, Chu Yihan might even treat her like a man!
She didn’t want that!
She had dressed so adorably today in the hopes of receiving a cute compliment from him. But Chu Yihan was too focused on pinching her face and didn’t say a word about her cuteness!
Looking up at his tall figure, Su Yingxue asked, “Your Highness, how does my outfit look today?”
Chu Yihan nodded and replied, “Very good.”
“Just… very good?” Su Yingxue’s eyes held a hint of expectation. Could he use some other words, like… pink… cute… tempting… making him want to…
Cough,cough!
Chu Yihan noticed that she was acting differently today. Considering it was the empress’s birthday banquet, she had had to interact with many women, which probably went against her preferences.
He gently ran his fingers through her hair and said, “If you don’t want to, you don’t have to dress like this in the future.”
Su Yingxue was left speechless.
Was he suggesting that she didn’t look good in this outfit?
Wasn’t she cute enough?
She felt like crying!
Su Yingxue made a soft “oh” sound and lowered her head, allowing him to stroke her hair.
In the backyard, the sound of a wheelchair could be heard. Chu Xiuwen watched the two of them behaving intimately in the courtyard and sneered, “Miss Su, you truly disregard formalities. Seducing my Seventh Brother in the past was one thing, but now you’ve set your sights on Ninth Imperial Uncle. Your ambitions are growing, aren’t you?”
Upon seeing him, Su Yingxue quickly shifted from her obedient demeanor to a cold and sharp one. “Third Prince, you, this cripple had to come out and make a spectacle of himself. When it comes to ambition, I can’t possibly compare to you, Third Prince!”
“Su Yingxue, how dare you call me a cripple!” Chu Xiuwen’s grip on the wheelchair’s armrest tightened, causing it to twist.
Su Yingxue gazed at him innocently.. Was the Third Prince joking with her? Why not try standing up?”
