Chapter 1446: Revised: 1443 Prestige

Chapter 1446: Revised: Chapter 1443 Prestige

Ye Muyu couldn’t hold back and let out a giggle, cupping his face as she asked with a smile, “Ah Heng, are you jealous?”

“Besides, I’m not some sort of heartthrob. It’s rare enough for you to like me. You shouldn’t get jealous every time you meet a man. Wouldn’t that just make you uncomfortable? You’re just creating imaginary rivals for yourself.”

“It’s like I enjoy eating oranges and think everyone else does too, so I don’t want to let others even look at the oranges.” Ye Muyu shook her head. “Isn’t this just tormenting yourself?”

“I can’t help it. I just don’t like any man getting too close to you,” Chu Heng didn’t deny her words, yet his attitude remained unchanged.

“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.” Ye Muyu couldn’t stop laughing. Feeling his earnestness most keenly, she refrained from saying anything he disliked hearing. After all, it was best if they both saw each other as precious treasures.

As for what others thought, what did that matter to them?

“Then Ah Yu, may I?” Chu Heng’s body seemed to press against hers, his domineering, calm demeanour outside unable to conquer the beauty before him.

Ye Muyu’s ears turned a little red. She extended her hand to push against his chest, but he didn’t budge. She felt his arms around her waist, like a vise, trapping her firmly against his chest, unable to move an inch.

The night was deep, and a heated breath filled the room.

A few days later.

Huo Hongyan always encountered Liu Zhe when she went out.

Liu Zhe pretended not to notice the intentional arrangements by the Liu family.

He began a love-hate relationship with Huo Hongyan.

The Liu family.

Liu Yanzhen sat in the study, with graying temples and neatly combed hair. Despite his age, his demeanor was imposing, commanding respect.

Madam Tang stood in front of the study, looking somewhat anxious. “Prince of the State, you summoned this humble wife because…?”

Liu Yanzhen glanced at her for a while before smiling, “We are family, Madam Tang. No need to be so tense, unless you’ve done something to wrong me.”

Though his face seemed to smile, his gaze had turned cold.

Madam Tang shivered all over and immediately knelt down to plead, “Please see clearly, Prince, I would never dare betray you.”

“Oh, why hasn’t the marriage between the Huo and Liu families been settled yet?”

Madam Tang cursed inwardly but explained, “Prince, in my dream, the head of the Huo family had not yet passed away, and Miss Huo didn’t need to observe mourning, so the marriage with the Liu family could proceed. Now Miss Huo is in mourning, even if their feelings are strong, it’s impossible to settle the marriage immediately. The young master of the Liu family is not young anymore; I’m afraid the Liu family disagrees.”

“If the Liu family agrees, I assure you, the marriage will be settled.”

Madam Tang panted as she spoke.

Liu Yanzhen toyed with the ring on his hand, not responding to her words but instead changing the subject, “In your dream, how was the war in the Northern Region resolved?”

“I only know that the war in the Northern Region ceased in December, similar to my dream, where the soldiers’ sacrifice was minor.”

“Oh? Is that so.”

“Who was the envoy sent to communicate with the Northern Barbarian Region this time?”

Madam Tang shook her head, “I’m not too sure. I only know it seemed to be an official from the Ministry of Revenue, not someone very notable. But I do know that the year after the war in the Northern Region ceased, the Emperor rewarded the Prince. Since then, you have gained more and more prestige among the commoners.”
