Chapter 761: Chapter 562: It’s Such a Misfortune to Have a Childhood Sweetheart Like You Who is a Saboteur_3

She clutched at the fur of the tiger-lion beast, the fear of the masked man still lingering from the day she jumped from the building.

She had thought that leaving the Xingmiao Clan would mean she would never see him again, yet here he was, even in Nanzhao Country.

She lifted her head in a silent howl, wondering if she could hold on until the day the National Master returned.

Wait, she couldn’t let him know where Xiao Jinyan was. If the masked man intended to kill Xiao Jinyan, Jinyan was no match for him.

Shen Chuwei stole a glance at Ye Suhuan and discovered that his crimson eyes were staring at her unblinkingly, giving her the illusion of being seen through.

Ye Suhuan looked at the tiger-lion beast in front of him; it had doubled in size, if not more, since he had last seen it.

"Have you determined what illness the tiger-lion beast has contracted?"

At his words, Shen Chuwei remembered that she was here to treat the tiger-lion beast’s illness.

She said with feigned importance, "It’s just a skin disease, nothing serious."

Ye Suhuan said, "That’s good to hear. The tiger-lion beast is no ordinary wild beast. If it’s sick, it won’t be easy to cure."

Shen Chuwei stood up with the support of the tiger-lion beast. Her legs were numb from squatting too long. She glanced at Ye Suhuan. Now that they had seen each other, when was he planning to leave?

Ye Suhuan, with sharp eyes, noticed something was amiss with her. "Are your legs numb?"

Shen Chuwei felt there was no shame in admitting her legs were numb, so she nodded.

"I’ll carry you inside," Ye Suhuan said without waiting for her response and bent down to pick her up, striding towards the Side Hall.

By the time Shen Chuwei reacted, she was already angrily pounding on Ye Suhuan’s chest, "Put me down right now. Don’t you know men and women should not touch each other intimately?"

Ye Suhuan looked down at her and said, "In the past, you would be too lazy to walk, and I carried you. What’s the difference now?"

You carried Feng Wuyou, not me!

Shen Chuwei was incensed, "I don’t remember anymore, so why do you keep bringing this up?"

Ye Suhuan said, "Earlier today in the Imperial Study Room, I heard my father mention your amnesia. You don’t remember, but I do."

Shen Chuwei: "..."

It wasn’t long before they reached the Side Hall. Ye Suhuan strode in and set her down on the couch.

Sitting on the couch, Shen Chuwei looked up at Ye Suhuan, who stood before her. She really disliked his overbearing behavior, didn’t she?

But on second thought, given his actions just now, did he believe she was Feng Wuyou?

Ye Suhuan, hand on the low table, leaned in close. Shen Chuwei’s body instinctively leaned back, putting distance between them.

Seeing her reaction, Ye Suhuan didn’t push any closer.

"Are you very afraid of me?"

Shen Chuwei’s mouth twitched violently. How could she not be afraid of the freak who had forced her to jump off a building?

"You’ve seen enough now, shouldn’t you be leaving?"

Ye Suhuan sat down on the bed and said solemnly, "I intend to have dinner with you."

Shen Chuwei replied immediately, "I prefer to dine alone."

Ye Suhuan chuckled lightly, "It doesn’t matter how many people eat at the table, what matters is, the food is all your favorites."

Shen Chuwei pursed her lips. He must have spied on her in the Xingmiao Clan to know her tastes so well.

"Men and women should not touch each other intimately. It’s not proper for a single man and woman to stay alone in a Side Hall."

Ye Suhuan said, "It’s not just the two of us here."

Shen Chuwei scanned the Side Hall and saw no Palace Maid. She frowned at Ye Suhuan, "Isn’t it just the two of us? The Palace Maids are outside."

Ye Suhuan glanced at Xuetuan lying on the ground and the colorful feathers at the window pecking at his own feathers. "Don’t Xuetuan and the colorful plumes count?"

"..." Shen Chuwei: "They are animals."

Ye Suhuan looked at her with a teasing smile, "You didn’t used to say that."

Shen Chuwei: "..." Whatever Feng Wuyou used to say, she couldn’t remember. If it were her, considering animals as people probably had something to do with food, with the purpose of eating more portions –

In the end, Ye Suhuan stayed for dinner.

Shen Chuwei’s nervous worries were automatically suppressed when it came to the meal, and she switched into devouring mode.

The table was filled with her favorite dishes, so she ate four bowls of rice and some fruit.

After eating to her heart’s content, she lay spread-eagled on the couch, observing Ye Suhuan savoring his tea, appearing entirely at ease.

Dinner was over, and he still wasn’t leaving!

Ye Suhuan raised his gaze and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing." There was no way to stand up to a menacing lunatic. When it was time to cower, she had to cower.

After a long silence.

Ye Suhuan took a couple of sips of tea, looked up at her, and said, "I didn’t expect you to enter the palace so soon."

Shen Chuwei looked at him puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Ye Suhuan answered her question with another question, "Are you not worried about Xiao Jinyan being out there alone?"

As Xiao Jinyan was mentioned, Shen Chuwei’s heart immediately leaped to her throat. Sure enough, he had returned to kill Xiao Jinyan.

"Xiao Jinyan has no grievances with you, why do you always want to kill him?"
