IACF [QT] Chapter 71.2

She glanced at their table openly. The other party happened to lower his head, so she could only see his side face. He looked like a scholar.

It was said that he had been very successful in his career in recent years. It was also possible that he was leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade.

His current official position is one level higher than Second Master Shen. He is a real young talent and a promising young man.

Su Yi withdrew her gaze with a lack of interest and found that many people were paying attention to her actions, secretly watching her, King Rui, and Sun Shuli.

Except for King Rui, there should be no one present who didn’t know about the past between Miss Su and Mr. Sun. But today, on such an occasion, they were both invited.

Su Yi couldn’t help but wonder what the host was thinking.

She looked at the main seat.

Princess An was talking to someone else with a gentle expression, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about her.

King An’s lips curled up nonchalantly as he poured himself a glass of wine. It was said that he had been weak since childhood, which should be true. After all, his pale face and bloodless lips did not look like those of a healthy person.

Although Su Yi did not care much about being gossiped about, she still couldn’t help but tilt her head and whispered to King Rui: “How is your relationship with King An?”

King Rui also glanced at the main seat. His expression was calm, and even a little bored, “Normal.”

Su Yi felt that she had asked the wrong question. Perhaps in the eyes of King Rui, people were only divided into those who could withstand a beating and those who could not, and there was no difference between good and bad relationships.

So, she changed the question, “You also grew up in the palace when you were a child, right? Did you two often fight?”

This time, King Rui took it more seriously. At least, he thought about it and said, “I beat him twice. He was too weak to take the beating.”

Well, then Su Yi had a little understanding of King An’s mentality.

If there is a person who is about the same age as you, and your father loves him more than you and treats him closer than his own son, most people would probably feel unfair.

What’s more, he is a prince, who has had everything he wants since he was born, except the attention of his father, the Emperor.

What’s even more infuriating is that you go looking for him to settle accounts with you and fight with him, but you lose and get beaten up instead. You can only drag your sick body and watch him grow up to be someone else’s child, and when he looks back at you, he looks at you with a look of disdain.

Can you tolerate this?

Su Yi even began to wonder if King An had put laxatives in the wine they both drank.

“What’s wrong?” King Rui asked, seeing her staring at the wine glass.

He leaned a little close that his voice was right next to Su Yi’s ear, and one of his hands was on the back of the chair behind her, inadvertently forming a gesture of ownership.

When they were in the palace, the two of them were used to being close. Now Su Yi not only slept on him at night, but also leaned on him when reading during the day. Sometimes, if she didn’t get close to him, he would sit over to her on his own and would have to make some physical contact with her intentionally or unintentionally, so what was happening now was really nothing.

Su Yi joked: “I’m afraid that if I drink this wine, I will have a stomach ache when I go back.”

“Is it cold?”

King Rui didn’t understand, thinking that her wine was cold, so he took it, held it in his palm, warmed it up, and handed it to her mouth, “Try it.”

After what happened last time when eating sweet potatoes, Su Yi learned her lesson. Instead of opening her mouth directly, she reached out to take it.

Although King Rui didn’t have any expression on his face, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He was still staring at Su Yi.

The two of them didn’t notice anything wrong with their interaction, but to others, it was a bit conspicuous.

After all, for these people, no matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, they only treat each other with respect. Such affectionate behavior is probably only done in private with their concubines.

The men present glanced at Princess Rui intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that with such beauty, it was no wonder that King Rui doted on her so much. If they could get her, they would probably hold her in the palm of their hands even more.

The women also had mixed feelings. If their husbands could ask them one more question when they were unwell, it would be considered considerate, not to mention warming the wine personally and handing it to their mouths.

Who would have thought that King Rui, who was as cold as he was, would be so considerate after marriage?
