My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 402 Forgiveness

Chapter 402: Chapter 402 Forgiveness

Ye Yunting had only left when Ye Jiuxiao almost immediately found the place.

Seeing Chu Nanli standing alone in the pavilion, he hurried over.

After confirming she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Chu Nanli was amused by his nervousness, "Don’t worry, this is inside the palace, even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t lay a hand on me."

Not far away, there were patrolling guards, and if Ye Yunting really wanted to harm her, she would not spare him any dignity.

Ye Jiuxiao did not tell her about Ye Yunting’s covert actions.

Especially the things Ye Yunting wanted to do in secret.

Therefore, she could not quite understand Ye Jiuxiao’s anxiousness at the moment.

"Lately, he really is becoming more and more lawless."

Ye Jiuxiao’s gaze lowered, and soon he caught sight of the red mark on Chu Nanli’s wrist.

When Ye Yunting had lashed out just now, he had completely disregarded her wellbeing.

Now, her wrist was already swollen with a large red circle.

Chu Nanli tucked her wrist into her sleeve, speaking casually, "So what? Anyway, I am already divorced from him."

Even if Ye Yunting wanted to do something to her, without the status of being his wife, he was powerless.

"If you would like, we could marry. That way, you would have an additional layer of protection."

Ye Jiuxiao looked at her intently, realizing as soon as he had spoken that something wasn’t quite right.

But he did not regret speaking up at that moment.

If Chu Nanli could truly become his Princess Consort, then from now on, no matter what Ye Yunting wanted to do, he would have to think twice about her status.

"What nonsense are you speaking, Prince?"

Hearing Ye Jiuxiao’s words, Chu Nanli’s first reaction wasn’t disgust but embarrassment.

Their relationship indeed had gotten closer than before, but it hadn’t reached the stage of discussing marriage, had it?

Though she was well aware that Ye Jiuxiao was proposing more out of a desire to protect her.

"Indeed, I was too presumptuous," Ye Jiuxiao admitted, somewhat regretfully.

That wasn’t his intention.

"It’s not that it’s out of the question," Chu Nanli winked at him, "but shouldn’t marital matters involve the consent of parents and the formal matchmaking process?"

She had mentioned her search for her family to Ye Jiuxiao previously.

What she didn’t know was that as the secret master of the Communications Pavilion, Ye Jiuxiao had already guessed a little about her identity.

He just hadn’t spoken it aloud.

"Alright, we’ve been outside for so long, it’s better to head back now."

Seeing that Ye Jiuxiao seemed willing to continue the topic, Chu Nanli quickly interjected to interrupt him.

If he continued, she would blush.

By the time they returned to the hall one after another, Ye Yunting was already seated in his place.

He looked rather unhappy, sitting there, drowning himself in drink after drink, ignoring Lin Fuying’s attempts to advise him.

When the banquet ended, Ye Yunting was already half-drunk.

"Get lost!"

Lin Fuying had intended to help Ye Yunting onto the carriage, hoping to let everyone see that their relationship had not deteriorated to such stiffness.

But as soon as her hand touched him, he violently shook her off.

Ye Yunting’s disdain was evident.

Lin Fuying could feel the mocking stares coming from all directions.

Swallowing the bitterness, she was about to climb into the carriage when she heard Ye Yunting utter merciless words from within.

"Back to the Prince Residence."

The coachman glanced at her with difficulty, but ultimately he didn’t dare to go against Ye Yunting’s wishes, and with a flick of the whip, he drove the carriage away from the palace gates.

Leaving Lin Fuying under the scrutiny of the public eye.

She was both anxious and angry, but in front of so many people, it wasn’t fitting for her to lose her composure.

Fortunately, the carriage she had arrived in was still there, purposely left behind.

Otherwise, she would have truly had no choice but to walk back to the War King Residence from the palace gates today.

"Sometimes, I really do think she’s quite pitiable."

After the royal banquet had ended, Lin Xuanxuan took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and quietly squeezed into Chu Nanli’s carriage.

The two of them came out early and just happened to witness this scene.

"You know, if she wasn’t so competitive and insistent on being the best, with her status as the Prime Minister Residence’s second young miss, she could have just picked any of her father’s students, a man of good character and conduct, to marry. Why put herself through such embarrassment as now?"

Lin Xuanxuan shook her head and retracted her gaze from outside the carriage.

But she couldn’t help sighing, "In my opinion, Ye Yunting doesn’t treat her that well either."

She always felt that the kindness Ye Yunting showed to others was like that shown to little cats and dogs.

He never considered other people’s feelings.

"Her current predicament is all her own doing, isn’t it?"

Chu Nanli’s expression was indifferent; she had anticipated the development between those two for some time now.

Especially Lin Fuying’s fate.

You should know, apart from matters concerning the original owner, Lin Fuying had also deceived Ye Yunting in many other ways.

Her love for Ye Yunting was never pure; it was rife with all sorts of calculations. Now that she has fallen out of favor, whom can she blame?

"That’s true," Lin Xuanxuan affirmed with a nod.

Her pity for Lin Fuying lasted only a moment.

She hadn’t forgotten how Lin Fuying had flaunted her power before her when she was in favor.

Now, by not kicking Lin Fuying while she’s down, she was already being more than generous.

After returning to the War King Residence, Lin Fuying seemed to have completely forgotten the earlier embarrassment and arrived at the bedroom with a bit of eagerness to please.

"Yunting brother, you drank too much wine at the palace banquet just now; let Yingying massage your head, okay?"

"Otherwise, Yingying is afraid you will have a headache when you wake up tomorrow. Yunting brother, please let me help you."

Under the flickering candlelight, Lin Fuying’s eyes brimmed with tender affection, which would soften the heart of anyone who saw her.

Unfortunately, appearing before Ye Yunting now would only provoke his displeasure.

Ye Yunting frowned coldly, "What are you doing here? Get out!"

"It’s because of you that Yingying was so cold to me just now!"

If he hadn’t been drunk, such words would never have left his mouth.

And upon hearing these words, jealousy once again overwhelmed everything else in Lin Fuying’s eyes.

So, Ye Yunting had left the palace earlier to find that wretched woman.

Wasn’t he afraid of being seen by others?

The affair regarding their potential separation had already set the capital abuzz.

If Ye Yunting was seen visiting Chu Nanli, she couldn’t fathom the kind of ridicule the War King Residence would face from the outside world!

Could it be that Ye Yunting, for that wretched woman’s sake, no longer cared about his own reputation at all?

"Yunting brother, Yingying knows she was wrong. If you still can’t get over it, then I, then I will go kneel and beg sister to forgive me, is that okay?"

In front of Ye Yunting, Lin Fuying naturally had to show weakness.

Just like now, even though she knew what Ye Yunting had done, she could only suppress her anger and couldn’t show her true feelings.
