Chapter 1304: The Emperor Is Expecting 18
Su Yan nodded.
"Okay."
She thought about it, deciding to postpone the matter of taking the wallet for now.
Following behind Chi Xing, she walked towards the hall.
When Su Yan arrived.
She saw Wang Lin kneeling at the entrance of the hall.
With his head lowered, knocking it repeatedly on the ground.
He looked as if he had committed a mistake.
Su Yan noticed he wasn’t carrying the wallet.
A vague premonition formed in her heart.
Following Chi Xing up the steps.
Chi Xing reported coldly,
"Prince, the person has been brought."
"Enter."
The voice slowly landed on these two words.
Su Yan went inside.
As soon as she stepped into the hall, the door behind her was closed by Chi Xing.
The faint aroma of ambergris lingered in the incense burner.
Making Situ Xiu, who sat at the head seat, appear much softer.
But it was merely a momentary illusion.
Su Yan saw her wallet and the string of Jade Buddha Beads placed on the table.
She blinked and then wilted immediately.
Xiao Hua whispered,
"Host, you need to try harder, you are the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Su Yan slightly straightened her back.
Situ Xiu’s sinister voice rang out,
"Aren’t you coming over?"
Su Yan
"Yes."
She responded, taking steps to move forward.
He leaned against the back of the chair, appearing somewhat indifferent.
With a clattering sound, the Buddha Beads in his hand were slammed onto the table.
His voice slowly emerged,
"Guard Song has quite the nerve."
Su Yan lowered her head, her voice soft and gentle,
"It’s my fault."
Situ Xiu’s eyelids drooped, his cold lips curled into a slight smile,
"A mere apology, and that’s it?"
As he spoke, he stood up.
Taking a step towards Su Yan.
Grabbing her arm, twisting her wrist, he pressed her against the side of the table.
The two were extremely close, the atmosphere thick with ambiguity.
He lowered his head, his line of sight easily taking in the delicate skin under her gaze.
Whispering slowly into Su Yan’s ear,
"I asked you for two pieces of candy, and you were utterly reluctant.
Towards others, you’re generous."
Su Yan kept her head down, allowing him to speak on the side.
She spoke softly,
"I didn’t do it on purpose."
"Not on purpose? Or, did he steal this wallet?"
Su Yan kept her head down,
"No."
"You deliberately passed on the Buddha Beads I gave you to someone else, could it be······"
Situ Xiu seemed to think of something.
The ominous aura felt even heavier.
Yet the smile on his face grew even more pronounced,
"How does Guard Song find that guard?"
He suddenly changed the topic.
Su Yan blinked,
"It’s fine."
He tightly gripped Su Yan’s arm, holding firmly,
He stared at Su Yan intensely, speaking word by word,
"Could it be, Guard Song has taken a liking to that guard?"
As if as long as she answered, he would crush her arm.
Su Yan shook her head,
"No."
This time, Su Yan reacted quickly.
Situ Xiu’s eyebrow subtly raised, unsure if he believed it or not.
He asked in a slow tone,
"Why did Guard Song want to return this afternoon?"
Su Yan blinked repeatedly,
"Wanted to go back."
"Oh?"
He looked at Su Yan with a smile on his face,
"To deliver the wallet to your lover?"
As he spoke, he held her wallet in his hand as if trying to crush it.
She opened her mouth,
"I, I didn’t mean that."
Situ Xiu chuckled softly,
"Guard Song wants to say, she doesn’t have a lover?"
No lover?
Su Yan looked at him, she did have one.
It’s just that her lover seems not to be very fond of her and is angry.
For fear of his misunderstanding, she still nodded,
"Mmm, mmm."
Su Yan nodded, hesitating for quite a while.
