Chapter 1635 -1628: Chu Yihan Climbs Over the Wall to See Her
“Yingxue, do you think I was wrong…”
Wu Jinyan looked dazedly at the canopy above the bed, “I forced him into marriage, forced him to love me, forced him to have children with me, and in the end… I got nothing.”
All she got was a body full of injuries, both physical and mental.
There wasn’t a single part of her that was unharmed.
“Do you regret it now, sister-in-law?” Su Yingxue asked with a heart-wrenching concern.
“I had some regrets at the beginning, but then I saw you relentlessly pursuing Your Highness, paying any price for the man you liked, just to get close to him. You were so brave… I thought I could do it too.” She looked withered, like a dried piece of straw, bending alone in the field.
“You met with His Highness again today, didn’t you?” Wu Jinyan asked vacantly.
Su Yingxue nodded, “Yes… I did.”
And Chu Yihan, Chu Yihan even shook hands with her.
But…
“I’m such a fool! How dare I compare myself to you… You have your mother, the backing of the Marquis’s Manor, you even have the peerless medical tome, you have everything, but me?” Wu Jinyan closed her eyes, thinking about the cards in her hand.
She was merely a daughter of a concubine, who had always been lowly and observant, surviving in the interstices, and had only managed to win her father’s favor to gain some status, and thus gained an opportunity to show her face and become acquainted with Su Yingxue, earning the favor of the Marquis’s Manor.
What did she have to win Su Hao’s love with?
Wu Jinyan collapsed on the bed, smiling foolishly, unable to respond no matter how much others tried to comfort her.
She seemed insane.
Seeing her like this, Su Yingxue couldn’t bear it.
She stormed out, wanting to do something.
But Long Shuli stopped her, “Don’t go looking for your brother. If he wants to come, he will come on his own.”
If he doesn’t want to, not even nine bulls could drag him here.
“But sister-in-law, she…”
“She is a smart person.” Long Shuli gently stroked the loose hair by Su Yingxue’s temples, with a chilly tone in her voice, “Knowing full well she could not win her husband’s heart, she was still willing to marry into the Marquis’s Manor. This is what she needed to endure; she had thought it through long ago.”
“But… wasn’t it me who played matchmaker for them?” Su Yingxue lowered her head, filled with guilt.
“What could you have done if they hadn’t set their minds on it? Did you straighten this twisted world?” Long Shuli said indifferently.
That sentence painfully struck Su Yingxue’s nerves, chilling her through and through, “This twisted world?”
“Mother, have you been feeling ill? Your fingers… they are cold.”
Su Yingxue mustered her courage to say this.
It was a doubt she had harbored for a long time.
Not just Long Shuli, but Zhilan, Wu Jinyan, even Su Hao… This afternoon, when she had a scuffle with him, she felt it too.
His body also lacked warmth.
“Mother is not sick, mother is fine, mother just wants to care for my dear daughter properly.” Long Shuli urged her to return to her room to rest.
But Su Yingxue lay in bed, unable to fall asleep.
She felt cold, had Zhilan add two more blankets, wrapping herself into a thick cocoon, yet the chilling sensation emanating from inside her kept invading.
“So cold… Chu Yihan.”
Su Yingxue murmured in her dreams.
She didn’t know when she would wake up, but life without warmth was too hard for her.
Chu Yihan stood in the loft room of Su Yingxue at the Marquis’s Manor.
He watched her, wrapped into a ball on the bed, thinking that he must be crazy.
To actually scale the wall and seek out Su Yingxue in the middle of the night!
She was someone he detested and despised the most in his heart.
Chu Yihan silently approached Su Yingxue.
The little bundled figure seemed very restless in her sleep, frowning deeply as if she couldn’t relax even in her dreams.
She was afraid.
“Chu Yihan…”
Su Yingxue murmured.
“Chu Yihan.”
“Chu Yihan…”
Once he could pretend he didn’t hear clearly, but Su Yingxue kept calling his name incessantly.
A surge of impulse rose in Chu Yihan’s heart. He grasped Su Yingxue’s hand clutching the quilt and gently uttered, “Your Highness is here.”
In her dream, Su Yingxue found warmth, and in an instant, she held fast to it, enveloping her bedding with this warmth as naturally and instinctively as possible.
“Su Yingxue, let go of Your Highness!”
Chu Yihan regretted it.
Why did he feel pity for her, to comfort her?
In her dreams, she was still a woman trying to take advantage of him!
“Su Yingxue, don’t blame Your Highness for making a move,” Chu Yihan threatened coldly.
But Su Yingxue was sound asleep, unable to hear anything, merely pressing her whole body upon Chu Yihan’s, enjoying the warmth emanating from him to her heart’s content.
Chu Yihan thought he could easily break free; after all, he was not a man to be easily manipulated by a woman.
But after trying, he found out.
He couldn’t.
There were guards under the loft. If he pushed Su Yingxue off him, her fall on the floor would cause a great commotion.
By then, if news of his nighttime venture into a maiden’s chamber spread, he would have no choice but to take responsibility for Su Yingxue.
He was simply being foolish!
Chu Yihan cursed himself countless times in his heart, but he discovered another critical reason he couldn’t struggle free from Su Yingxue.
He coveted the warmth emanating from her.
Ever since he had come to, he noticed that Mo Qi’s body temperature was very low, his mother’s hand was also cold.
Only Su Yingxue.
This woman he disliked the most—her hands were warm.
Now with her pressing on him, he felt her heat even more acutely.
How could a person who has always been floating in the cold refuse this sole source of warmth?
Chu Yihan willingly closed his eyes.
The next day, Su Yingxue woke up feeling wonderful, completely unaware that she had been pressing down on Chu Yihan the night before.
And looking at the state of the quilt, it seemed that Chu Yihan had been forcibly rolled into it and then pressed underneath by her.
The process might have been slightly wild!
“Chu Yihan? Your Highness?”
Su Yingxue tried to wake him up quietly.
Actually, Chu Yihan did not want to admit that he’d been pressed under Su Yingxue and had slept quite well all night.
He had no nightmares, and his whole body felt warm and cozy.
“Aren’t you getting up yet?” His morning voice carried a man’s unique charm and seduction, slightly husky, as if it could impregnate the ears of those who listened.
If it were the past, Su Yingxue would definitely not get up!
She would take advantage of the moment, strip off Chu Yihan’s clothes, and thoroughly have her way with him!
But now…
She was Su Yingxue, who cared about her face.
She couldn’t!
Ying ying ying, having a face is so tragic.
Reluctantly, Su Yingxue rolled off the bed.
Chu Yihan freed himself from the restraint and kicked off the quilt, ready to leave the bed and walk away.
“Wait wait wait!”
Su Yingxue hurriedly grabbed Chu Yihan’s hand, hesitating to speak.
Chu Yihan’s eyes turned cold. He knew that his indulgence from the day before meant he wouldn’t be able to leave easily today. Su Yingxue would surely demand he take responsibility and use this as an opportunity to make excessive demands!
She was still the same!
