Zi Weiâs chest vibrated powerfully, his heartbeat pounding at a pace he had never experienced in all his years.
Intense, fiery.
Even his usually cold face slowly thawed. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
This scene filled Yue Lian with admiration.
But she had to intervene.
She stepped forward, hooking her arm through Zi Weiâs, âZi Wei, let go of the Ninth Princess Consort, sheâll have trouble breathing if you continue like this.â âI wonât let go!â
Zi Wei was not being stubborn for the first time.
He hugged Su Yingxue tight, as if she was as precious as his own heart.
âZi Wei, let me go.â
Su Yingxue felt a bit embarrassed, it wasnât proper to do this in front of so many people.
She quietly poked Zi Wei in the back.
Zi Wei still refused to let go.
Yue Lian, out of options, whispered in his ear, âIf you keep holding the Ninth Princess Consort like this, and the Ninth Prince blames her, what will she do then?â
Her words poured over Zi Wei like icy water.
His whole body tensed, and slowly, he released Su Yingxue.
Then he turned around.
From beginning to end, he never let Su Yingxue see his face.
Su Yingxue turned to Chu Yihan and pulled a face, signaling him not to be angry.
Chu Yihan huffed lightly and turned away to deal with the aftermath.
Only then could Su Yingxue relax, and she noticed the girl by Zi Weiâs side, asking curiously, âAre you Zi Weiâs friend?â
Yue Lian accidentally locked eyes with Su Yingxue and was utterly captivated by her beauty.
They had just come out of a wreckage, everyone marred with wounds and covered in dust.
Yet even so, it did not conceal the beauty of Su Yingxue, her radiant eyes and pearly teeth, her gaze starlike, truly deserving the title of the worldâs foremost beauty.
But Yue Lian was not a woman who felt inferior.
Arm in arm with Zi Wei, she spoke softly, âWeâve gotten married, I am his wife.â
âWife?â
Su Yingxue almost bit her tongue. She had been away for a while, and Zi Wei got married?
Zi Wei felt her astonishment and immediately spoke out, âYou donât like it? I donât have to get married.â
Yue Lianâs hand was dropped, causing her to bite her lip.
Yue Lian felt an inexplicable fear towards Su Yingxue.
She was afraid that Su Yingxue would take Zi Wei away, preventing her from being with him.
Zi Wei had once told her that he would only listen to Su Yingxue, only protect her his entire life.
Given Zi Weiâs nature, just one word from Su Yingxue would make her lose him.
Surprisingly, Su Yingxue punched Zi Wei hard, âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Is marriage a matter to be trifled with? Now that youâve married this lady, you are her husband, you must cherish her, and be responsible for her your entire life!â
Zi Wei felt her anger and corrected himself, âAll right, I will be responsible for her.â
Su Yingxue was then reassured.
She turned her gaze gently towards Yue Lian, âMiss, thank you.â
âThank me? Thereâs no need, our Yue Family owes the Ninth Prince a favor, this is but repaying that debt.â
Yue Lian had her own pride, she would not let others see her weakness easily.
âItâs not because you saved me, itâs because of Zi Wei.â
Su Yingxueâs eyes were full of kindness, âThank you for being good to Zi Wei, Iâve always hoped he would be loved well, and now youâve given him a home, it makes me very relieved, you must love him very much, donât you?â
Though she did not know how their relationship developed so quickly to the point of marriage.
Yet Su Yingxue could see that Yue Lian was a kind-hearted girl, and Zi Wei must have married her willingly.
Nobody could force him.
