he inner room of his study.He stopped in surprise, and looked up to see Chen Zixuan's adorable silly look. She was lying on her side towards the door, a fluffy hat covering half of her face. Her small..."Zixuan, what's wrong" Seeing Chen Zixuan keep biting her lips and looking down, Su Wenhao felt something was amiss with her.

Chen Zixuan raised his eyes to look at Su Wenhao...

Su Wenhao's eyes clearly imprinted the figure of Chen Zixuan...

For some reason, looking at the gentle and refined Su Wenhao, Chen Zixuan felt an overwhelming urge to confide in him about her misfortunes. But she knew she couldn't... because she had become mute. She could no longer speak like a normal person.

Thinking about this realization, Chen Zixuan's eyes welled up with tears. She bit her lip and tried hard to hold back...

"It's alright, it's over now, Zixuan. No one will hurt you again…" Su Wenhao wanted to embrace Chen Zixuan, but his gentlemanly demeanor held him back...

A woman's reputation is important, he only brought her back so late out of necessity. He couldn't ruin her reputation at a time when she was so vulnerable...

Looking into Su Wenhao's concerned and sympathetic eyes, Chen Zixuan collapsed again for a moment... She didn't know why she was breaking down. Perhaps it was because she had been shocked and abused too much today, or perhaps... she saw the shadow of Yun Jie in Su Wenhao...

Once, Yun Jie also looked at her with such tenderness, his eyes filled with heartache. He saw her so clearly, her figure imprinted on his heart, as if his eyes, his world, only held her...

Chen Zixuan suddenly tiptoed and hugged Su Wenhao tightly...

I'm so sorry I mistook you for someone else, because... I really miss him so much... Please, let me hold you for a while, just a little while, that's all I ask...

Su Wenhao stood rooted to the spot… He felt like he had just had a very beautiful dream… A dream that included him and Chen Zixuan…

The moisture on his shoulder pulled him back from his hazy thoughts... It wasn't a dream, this was real...

Su Wenhao reached out his arms and hugged Chen Zixuan tightly. He gently stroked her messy hair with his fingers, and whispered in her ear, "Zixuan, I'm here... Don't be afraid..."

Every time she cried, Yun Jie would say this to her and hold her like this...

Hearing this, Chen Zixuan completely broke down... At this moment, she completely saw Su Wenhao as Zhong Yunjie... So she cried pitifully in Su Wenhao's arms...

Su Wenhao gently patted her back, silently accompanying her...

Chen Zixuan, with tearful eyes, raised her head. Su Wenhao looked at the woman in his arms with pampering...

Perhaps it was the soft light in the room, or perhaps it was the warmth of this embrace... Watching Chen Zixuan's vulnerability, watching her tears, Su Wenhao's heart completely succumbed at this moment...

"Zixuan, from now on, I'll take care of you... alright"

Let all worldly gazes and the positions of heads of households go to hell...

He now knows with absolute clarity what he wants… He wants the smile of this woman before him, he wants to spend his life with her...

"Huh Chen Zixuan was still lost in his own thoughts and didn't react at all..."

Su Wenhao didn't give her any time to react. He leaned down and kissed Chen Zixuan's lips...

These lips, as soft as cherry blossoms, are cool and tinged with a hint of sweetness... As if holding infinite magic, they entice one to explore deeper and deeper...

Chen Zi Xuan was stunned, she stared blankly at Su Wen Hao's affectionate gaze, her mind replaying his passionate words just now... Zi Xuan, from now on, let me take care of you...Will you... Such heartfelt words, so warm and tender, Chen Zi Xuan felt like she was about to be lost in this inescapable web of tenderness...

"Hiss—" The maid outside the door gasped at the sight of the two people embracing and kissing passionately inside...Young Master, Young Master actually kissed the Fifth Prince's woman... What should be done!

"Young Master!" The maid walked along, pretending to adjust her clothes while keeping her head down. "There were no preparations made for the young lady's attire in my quarters, so I brought some of my newly-made garments. I hope it is acceptable."

The maid's voice interrupted the ambiguous atmosphere between the two...

Chen Zi-Xuan's eyes widened suddenly, she was completely awake now... Oh my god, what was she doing She had actually, actually kissed Su Wenhao... This... this... How could she face Yun-Jie later... how could she face Su Wenhao...

Chen Zixuan quickly withdrew his hand, turned his back, and closed his eyes... Too embarrassing, he was actually seen... Just die from hitting his head...

The sudden emptiness in his arms left Su Wenhao momentarily flustered. He watched Chen Zixuan turn away, a gentle smile gracing his lips... Perhaps he had been too hasty and scared Chen Zixuan...

Su Wenhao was still looking at Chen Zixuan, and the maid rudely interrupted the atmosphere, "Sir, how about this piece of clothing"

Su Wenhao coughed twice, easing the awkwardness: "Ahem, well... that's all there is..."

Su Wenhao motioned for the maidservant to put down the clothes and leave. The maidservant was afraid that Su Wenhao and Chen Zixuan would do something uncontrollable again, and by then it would be too late to regret it...

So she pretended not to understand Su Wenhao's meaning. After all, Su Wenhao hadn't explicitly stated his intention, so she pretended not to know anything about it...

She went between Su Wenhao and Chen Zixuan and said, "Young Master, I'll take the young lady to bathe..." As she spoke, she supported Chen Zixuan's arm with both hands and walked him into the room.

"Wait..." Su Wenhao took a step forward to pursue.

"Master, the water will get cold if we wait too long…" The maid spoke up to stop him.

"I know!" Su Wenhao walked up to Chen Zixuan's face, took her hand, and smiled gently, "Zixuan, what I just said was serious. You... think about it... I will wait for your answer."

"Ah! This is over..." Chen Zixuan's heart tightened...

"Young Master, perhaps you should wait until the young lady has bathed and changed before speaking... Young Lady, allow me to help you in..." The maid pulled Chen Zixuan's hand away from Su Wenhao's grip, then forcefully led her into the inner room and shut the door.

"Wash it yourself, your clothes are behind the screen!" After closing the door, the maidservant's face changed, and she looked at Chen Zixuan with disdain.

Such a woman deserves to be with the young master! The young master is truly blind, to actually fall for such a slovenly woman, hmph! She must have used some kind of sorcery to ensnare the young master!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. The maid stormed out of the room.

Chen Zixuan puckered his lips, taking off the cloak and clothes on his body before climbing into the bathtub…

The warm water enveloped her body, the hazy steam swirling around her. She felt her whole being lighten...

My body is relaxed and comfortable, but my mind is about to go crazy...

Thinking back to the kiss he just shared with Su Wenhao, Chen Zixuan's face flushed...

It's so embarrassing, she actually mistook Su Wenhao for Yun Jie and kissed him... Although the maidservant didn't say anything, her expression clearly showed that she saw everything... Wooo... She doesn't want to live anymore....

Chen Zixuan took a deep breath and sat down to the bottom of the bathtub...rthy of her...""No, no. In Ke'er's heart, the Sixth Prince is the best man. Although the Sixth Prince is a prince, he has never looked down on others. Moreover, the Sixth Prince is very righteous. Whe...
