“It’s not a matter of whether 1 like him or not. In terms of ability alone, he is the only person in my life that I admire. However, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility and risk. He wields too much power, and as long as he’s around, the emperor’s throne is never secure. Ultimately, he’s a dangerous man. Our Su family should steer clear of the turmoil of the Imperial family. It’s especially wise for you, as a girl.”
Su Qingzhi’s tone was laden with concern and seriousness.
But with all that had happened between Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan recently, she couldn’t possibly explain it to her grandfather in such a short time. And her grandfather probably wouldn’t understand her relationship with Chu Yihan so quickly anyway.
So she decided to keep it hidden for now and find an opportunity to tell her grandfather after the family banquet.
“I understand, Grandfather. Don’t worry,” she said, pressing her lips together.
Only after confirming that Su Qingzhi had fallen asleep did Su Yingxue return to her room.
She had been preoccupied with Su Qingzhi’s words, so she was a bit distracted and didn’t even notice Chu Yihan sitting there.
She walked towards the soft couch with her head down. When she was almost in front of Chu Yihan, he suddenly pulled her into his arms.
“Your Highness, why are you here?” Su Yingxue exclaimed in surprise.
Chu Yihan’s handsome brows furrowed. When he was displeased, the room felt as cold as ice.
“Forget about me now that you have your grandfather? I haven’t visited for a few days, and this is how you greet me?” Chu Yihan’s voice was icy.
But Su Yingxue didn’t have time to worry about his mood. She quickly jumped out of his embrace and went to check the door. After confirming that her grandfather was asleep, she sighed in relief.
“What if your grandfather finds me here?” Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow.
“It would be… serious!” Su Yingxue didn’t dare to mention that her grandfather had forbidden her from interacting with Chu Yihan.
But Chu Yihan had waited for her until late at night. Seeing him like this, she couldn’t bear it. She hugged him and rubbed her face against his chest.
“Grandfather and Your Highness haven’t seen each other for a long time. If he knew you were in my room, he would blame me!”
“Blame you?” Chu Yihan’s eyes turned dark. “I should have gone to propose to Old General Su on the day he was outside the city.”
Su Yingxue was speechless.
“Please don’t!” she thought.
She didn’t dare to tell Chu Yihan about her grandfather’s warning to stay away from him.
Chu Yihan had put in a lot of effort to bring her grandfather back earlier. Now that he knew, he wouldn’t feel good about it.
She could only pretend to be shy and playfully punch Chu Yihan’s chest.
“I hate you! Your Highness is so eager to propose, do you have some ulterior motive for me?”
She rarely acted coquettishly, but her tender voice made Chu Yihan’s heart skip a beat, and his breathing quickened.
Chu Yihan’s body was filled with a desire to press her down on the bed and punish her ruthlessly!
However, he could not bear to see her watery eyes.
She was delicate after all.
Chu Yihan coughed heavily and regained his composure.
“What do 1 want from you? Your heart belongs to me, and soon, you will too.”
“Really?” Su Yingxue pouted.
Chu Yihan’s calm demeanor impressed her.
As expected of the most powerful imperial uncle in the entire Great Cheng Dynasty!
Chu Yihan gently pushed Su Yingxue away and headed back to the prince’s mansion..
