Chapter 925: Chapter 923: Men Need a Sense of Security
Su Yingxue took the wine bowl, “Alright, I’ll drink it!”
Overjoyed, she drank the wine and then remembered to ask, “Why does General Lin toast me? This time, my brother and I were trapped in the One-Line Sky Canyon, and it was Sisi who led the troops to rescue us! My brother and I should be toasting Sisi instead!”
She shouted, “Brother! Brother! Come and toast to Sisi! Eh, where’s my brother?”
She couldn’t find Su Hao anywhere in the room and frowned, “Weird, where did he go?”
“Don’t bother looking for General Su now. I just saw him go off with the Old General. Perhaps the Old General needed him for something. The two of us can just drink!”
Lin Sisi wrapped her arm around Su Yingxue, leaving her father behind, and went off to have fun on her own!
In this military camp, there were only three women. She didn’t know Lu Ying, so she could only strike up a conversation with Su Yingxue!
Su Yingxue walked arm in arm with Lin Sisi, thinking Lin Sisi must have something on her mind to share with her. But Lin Sisi took her to a quiet corner with few people and whispered, “Hey, are you and Your Highness having a fight?”
“…”
Su Yingxue fell silent, not knowing how to start. Others might not have noticed the subtle signs, but Lin Sisi, who had known her for so long, could definitely see through them.
She seemed somewhat helpless, “When we returned from the Great Wei Dynasty, I said a few words to Qin Muyan. After that, His Highness didn’t pay much attention to me. Even when we were trapped, he barely spoke to me and even asked me whom I trusted more, him or Qin Muyan.”
“What was your response?” Lin Sisi suddenly seemed very interested.
This was a loaded question!
Su Yingxue replied frankly, “I said I trusted both. They both are rare talented leaders, equally outstanding, and surely both could resolve the situation.”
Lin Sisi: “…”
Her gaze towards Su Yingxue suddenly turned strange, morphing from bewilderment to sympathy, and finally, she heaved a deep sigh, “Aren’t you just making His Highness miserable on purpose? Men need a sense of security. Your answer totally shattered His Highness’s sense of security. His heart must be broken!”
“What… what?”
Sense of security?
And men need it?
Chu Yihan’s heart broken?
Su Yingxue touched Lin Sisi’s head, “You aren’t drunk, are you? What nonsense! His Highness is so strong, does he need others to give him a sense of security? Besides, the conversation I had with Qin Muyan wasn’t about anything else but rejecting him!”
She had clarified to Qin Muyan that she was not his cousin, to prevent him from feeling upset, and then they reached a peaceful agreement, after which she returned to Chu Yihan’s side on her horse, Chuxin.
“Did you tell His Highness about this conversation?”
“No!”
“After you came back, did you act coquettishly towards His Highness, looking for a chance to explain?”
“No!”
“Did the Scarlet Flame King give you any keepsake that His Highness found?”
“He gifted me a fine horse. When I heard my brother was in trouble, I rode faster than His Highness and reached the military camp in no time!”
Lin Sisi smacked her forehead, “Well done! You’ve hit all the sore points! You haven’t said a word about what His Highness wanted to know. He already lacked a sense of security, and you just added fuel to the fire quite enthusiastically! If this happened to Jinling, she wouldn’t pay attention to me either! She would even give me the cold shoulder and be temperamental!”
???
“The cold shoulder and be temperamental?”
Su Yingxue glanced back and saw Chu Yihan sitting in the commander’s seat, drinking his lonely drink, exuding an inviolable coldness, chilling the entire scene by himself.
