Chapter 1278: Chapter 1278: Comparison

Master Chu gazed into the distance.

"Why do I want to meet Miss Leng?"

He also wanted to know.

Perhaps if he met Miss Leng, his uncontrollable thoughts wouldn’t be solely fixed on Su Yunjin. Since he left Jincheng and returned to the town, Master Chu’s mind was uncontrollably filled with thoughts of Su Yunjin.

In the past, Master Chu could suppress these feelings, but when he last saw Su Yunjin’s protruding belly, and her gentle expression as she placed her hands on her stomach, Master Chu admitted for the first time he was jealous—madly jealous of the man who could have Su Yunjin. Since birth, Master Chu’s status had been destined to be noble.

His mother was the main wife in Wang Residence, and he was the legitimate son of King Chu. Everything in Chu Residence, including the title, was his—power and wealth were at his fingertips, and the same went for women. Over the years, countless women had desired to become his consort, some even stripping down and waiting in his room.

Some of these women were arranged by his mother, and others were servants in his quarters. Each one was outstanding in both appearance and stature, proficient in arts like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Although these women excelled in talents and appearance, Master Chu did not like any of these women who approached him for fame and power. His mother was his father’s main wife, yet his father had countless women.

Not just seven or eight concubines, but also countless lesser consorts. Initially, his mother used to get angry and compete, but over time, she grew tired and let his father bring one woman after another into the residence. Master Chu had grown accustomed to the jealousy and rivalry in the rear court, along with its various conspiracies. He grew tired of the women’s jealousy, which was why he had no interest in them over the years.

Even though Master Chu didn’t take an interest in women, he knew his own status—he was the legitimate son of Chu Residence, and the title would be his. He couldn’t possibly remain without a woman, and he couldn’t not marry a main wife. However, marrying a main wife, though necessary, was something Master Chu planned to delay.

He decided to wait a few more years, then marry a woman according to his mother’s wishes—selecting someone with decent looks and talents. Marrying any woman was all the same for Master Chu, but choosing one that pleased his mother and could also benefit Chu Residence was ideal. However, everything changed after he met Su Yunjin.

Yunjin’s generosity, confidence, intelligence, and cunning deeply attracted him, ensnaring him step by step. For the first time, Master Chu, who had never felt anything for women, tasted the agony of unrequited desire because of Su Yunjin. With his status and position, wanting a woman was never a hardship.

Master Chu was confident and had a full grasp of making Su Yunjin fall for him and willingly become his consort. However, regrettably, when he met Yunjin, she was already married, already someone else’s wife. He always acted openly and honorably, and disdained the idea of forcibly taking another’s wife.

Moreover, that man—Master Chu had met him, and the visage of the handsome and outstanding Gu Ya appeared in his mind. Master Chu secretly compared himself with Gu Ya.

Ironically, he found that beyond having a higher status, he could not surpass Gu Ya in any other aspect.

The excellence and distinction of that man were apparent to Master Chu at just a glance.
