Already the Ninth Princess Consort

Ye Lingbai confessed without hesitation, "I love her deeply. Even after all this time, she's the only one in my heart."

Mentioning his beloved, Ye Lingbai's heart ached, yet a faint smile graced his lips.

There was perhaps nothing more joyous in this world than the thought of her.

Su Yingxue smiled at Ye Lingbai without further comment.

Marquis Changxin repeatedly apologized to Chu Yihan, who had only briefly parted from Su Yingxue. Upon his return, he noticed her conversing with Ye Lingbai, and his expression immediately darkened.

Su Yingxue approached him playfully and hooked his arm, "Thank you, Your Highness, for today."

"Oh." Chu Yihan released her hand, his handsome face veiled in a hint of coldness.

Su Yingxue observed his appearance and was puzzled. She asked, "What's wrong with you, Your Highness?"

After all, they had only been apart for a short while.

Why was he displeased?
