Chapter 1638 -1631: Our Feelings Clicked

Purple-gold python robe.

It’s Chu Yihan.

“You’re here again.”

Su Yingxue lifted her gaze, looking at him with a hint of fragility in her eyes.

Her voice was also husky, no longer the proud and carefree soaring it usually was.

Chu Yihan didn’t know why, but he always found himself unconsciously wanting to come here to her.

But he couldn’t control his steps, and by the time his mind caught up, he was already standing in front of Su Yingxue.

“Your Highness heard that the Tongchang Medical Center will be entrusted to you. You will be in charge tomorrow. Do you still have the leisure to drink here now?”

Chu Yihan looked down from above, wanting to take a good look at Su Yingxue.

Su Yingxue tilted her head up, allowing him to scrutinize her.

In her hand, she was holding a small glaze wine cup filled with a sparkling liquid. She lifted the cup to her lips and poured the contents into her mouth.

The way she drank was not elegant, but a drop of liquid spilled from the corner of her lips, sliding down her neck and making her skin appear as smooth and fine as snow and jade, which was quite heart-stirring.

When she was quiet and not arrogant, Chu Yihan particularly wanted to pay attention to her.

It was as if this attention was granted by the heavens; his body simply did not have this instinct.

Yet the heavens imposed this feeling on him, making him attracted to Su Yingxue… wanting to see her more and more.

After Su Yingxue poured herself a few more cups, her cheeks flushed red, “I know there are important matters to attend to, but I just can’t sleep…”

“Why?” Chu Yihan lifted his robe and sat with her on the ridge of the roof.

Su Yingxue rested her head on her hands in frustration, “Ever since I woke up, I’ve felt that everything is wrong, everything… It’s like I’m dreaming, but I can’t seem to wake up. The people around me, they’re all cold, and everything I’ve received… feels like an illusion!”

Chu Yihan’s heart shook violently, and he grasped Su Yingxue’s wrist forcefully with a reversal of his hand, “What did you say? You feel that everything now… feels like an illusion?”

“Yes! It all seems fake! My mother, my brother, and my father with his concubines and children… and those who reverence and love me, they’re all too vague, only you…”

Su Yingxue’s eyes reddened from drinking, her fair fingers winding around Chu Yihan’s hand one by one. She chuckled softly, “Only you seem real. You’re the same as me, right?”

In Chu Yihan’s chest, his heart was incessantly pounding, active and intense.

He couldn’t tell Su Yingxue that his feelings were the same as hers!

Everything is but an illusion, as if only she… is real!

“Chu Yihan, may I lean on you for a while, if you don’t mind?” Su Yingxue looked at him longingly, with teardrops shimmering in her eyes.

She sounded almost coquettish, asking for his consent, but she had already grabbed his wrist and leaned her entire body onto his shoulder, invading the space around him.

His breathing was filled with the scent of wine from her.

For the first time, Chu Yihan didn’t push her away, letting her come close to him.

Because it wasn’t about taking advantage of him, but making him feel that they were kindred spirits, empathizing with each other, leaning on one another for support.

Why can they only feel each other’s warmth?

Could it be that they really are in an unfathomable environment?

Chu Yihan sent Su Yingxue back to the loft as she still had many tasks to undertake.

And just as he stepped out of the Marquis of Martial South’s Manor, Chu Xiaotian urgently sent someone to find him, telling him something—

Song Chengyi was dead.

It was Su Han’s father, General Su, who personally executed him.

Su Han burst into tears and fainted upon hearing the news, consumed by sorrow.

She refused to believe that her father would kill Song Chengyi, that someone had pinned this crime onto him, surely it must be a frame-up, slander, someone manipulating her father to murder Song Chengyi.

Chu Yihan frowned upon hearing this and said, “My relationship with Su Han is not true; she won’t change her opinion of me because of it.”

It’s useless for him to seek me out.

“Imperial Uncle has a close relationship with Su Yingxue, maybe he could think of a way to help his nephew?” Chu Xiaotian’s gaze was faint, he too feared Chu Yihan’s anger.

But he really couldn’t think of any other solution!

Su Han is stubborn by nature, if she harbors a grudge, she will never let it go for the rest of her life, and she might even agitate for a separation from him.

But he cannot bear to lose Su Han, under no circumstances can he let her leave him.

Chu Yihan initially didn’t want to involve himself, he couldn’t ask Su Yingxue for help with this matter.

But the next day when he visited his mother in the palace, he encountered Su Yingxue again.

It was as if by a mysterious fate, Su Yingxue was attending to his mother, who had a smile on her face, looking very amiable.

And her smile became more frequent, her complexion much improved.

“Yihan is here.”

Shuxiai Empress was all smiles; she no longer needed to stay in bed for her medication. After taking her medicine, Su Yingxue would take her for a walk around the palace gardens to clear her mind.

Today she even mentioned she wanted to take her running, to make her body stronger.

She did not expect that her son, whom she constantly pondered over, would visit as well.

“It happens that I need to change clothes. You stay here, have a chat with Miss Su, lest you say I am not hospitable enough,” Shuxiai Empress immediately tasked Chu Yihan with a chore.

To avoid embarrassment, Su Yingxue quickly got up and paid her respects to Shuxiai Empress, “No need for that, the clinic is very busy today, I shall take my leave now. As for running, as long as the palace maids are watching, Your Highness should proceed according to your strength.”

“Leaving so soon?” Shuxiai Empress didn’t expect that now Su Yingxue would show no interest in Chu Yihan.

She didn’t cling to him at all.

Su Yingxue smiled at Chu Yihan and left; indeed, she departed without a single backward glance or any sign of lingering.

Chu Yihan had Mo Qi follow her, and after Su Yingxue left the palace, she galloped straight to Tongchang Medical Center.

Shuxiai Empress sighed, “Miss Su has really changed a lot. Now that things have calmed down, it’s a bit hard to adapt to.”

In the past, she worried daily, fearing that Su Yingxue might do something rash towards Chu Yihan.

Her plea for favor was also received with trepidation.

But now, her plea for favor was just right, making it quite comfortable.

And she no longer sought repayment, leaving swiftly without giving you a chance to chase after her for questions.

Such good fortune instead gave rise to a surreal feeling.

“This is the real her,” Chu Yihan, keeping company with Shuxiai Empress, added.

“Really? You understand Miss Su that well?” Shuxiai Empress teased him as they walked together through the palace gardens.

Chu Yihan’s brows and eyes were deep and austere as usual, “The real her, I should understand her.”

Just like now, decisive and uninhibited yet willing to act coquettishly without burdening others.

Before he lost his memory, she must have been… a very good woman, right?

Between them, there must exist some kind of misunderstanding.

As Chu Yihan considered this key point, he still left the palace to look for Su Yingxue once more.
