IACF [QT] Chapter 68.5

Among all the people present, probably only Mrs. Huang could see what Su Yi was thinking.

Although Mrs. Huang was not outstanding in appearance, she was very thoughtful. When she met her in the Empress’s palace earlier, she knew that the woman her husband had been thinking about for more than ten years had already let go of that relationship.

Sometimes, she also felt that men in the world were too funny.

If he was so deeply in love, so deep that he kept repeating other people’s names in his sleep, why did he come to the Huang Mansion to propose marriage?

Did she ask him to marry her?

But most of the time, she would comfort herself that this was not bad. Her husband only had that person in his heart and eyes and would not even look at anyone else. The backyard was clean and tidy, unlike other families, where there were many concubines and yiniangs fighting all day long.

Now that Mrs. Huang has a son and a daughter, she can rest assured. She takes care of her two children, has a peaceful home, a successful husband, and a pair of children.

It’s just that the couple sleeps in the same bed but has different dreams. But she was no longer a girl longing for her ideal husband. Now, she is already luckier than most women, isn’t she?

But her calm heart was inevitably stirred like an ordinary person’s when she saw the princess in front of her.

When she was a young girl, she had heard of Miss Su’s beauty, but the two had no intersection and had never met. After they got married, they had never seen each other again.

They met for the first time in the Empress’s Palace not long ago.

After all, she was the one her husband loved deeply, who could remain indifferent?

Mrs. Huang was thinking at that time, how could someone be so cruel as to abandon such a beautiful woman?

If she were a man, she would definitely not want to see her sad.

When they met again today, the other party was already a high-ranking princess. When she turned her eyes to her, she looked no different from looking at others.

If it wasn’t completely letting go, what else could it be?

Mrs. Huang even felt pity for her husband in her heart.

Only those who are deeply in love can be hurt.

In the beginning, Miss Su loved deeply, so she was deeply hurt. Now that the other party has let go, her husband seems to have become a love-saint, thinking about her all the time.

She can almost see the day when he will be heartbroken.

Su Yi handled the socializing with ease until someone from King An’s mansion came in and said that King Rui had come to pick up the princess. Only then did she take her leave amid everyone’s genuine or false envy.

Outside the mansion, she saw someone sitting on a horse.

Su Yi approached and said, “Why are you here?”

“Just passing by.” King Rui said, got off the horse, and lifted the curtain for her.

Su Yi didn’t ask any more questions, got into the sedan chair, and let Qing Lian look at her with a teasing look.

King Rui rode his horse beside the sedan chair. He could see the vague figure in the sedan chair by slightly turning his head.

He nodded secretly, thinking that this was right.

That night, the two of them still did not fight. Su Yi had been out for a day of socializing and was too lazy to fight. Anyway, King Rui did not mention it, so she washed and went to bed.

In the middle of the bed, there was still a rolled-up quilt. Su Yi fell asleep quickly.

When she first fell asleep, her sleeping posture was always very correct. Not long after, King Rui heard the movement and opened his eyes, and sure enough, he saw that she had already grabbed the quilt with her hands.

Her fair face was still clearly visible in the dim light from the bed curtains. At this time, one side of her face was a little deformed by the soft quilt, and her mouth was pouting like a child.

King Rui looked at her for a while and then closed his eyes in this position.

Not long after, he opened his eyes again. This time, Su Yi did not move. He still continued to stare at her.

After a while, he suddenly reached out his hand, gently pulled out the quilt, and threw it on the bed.

Su Yi didn’t wake up. She was groping around subconsciously with one hand. Because there was no quilt to hold on to, her sleeping position became irregular again. She rummaged around with both hands and finally touched something, and then she climbed onto it.

King Rui looked at the person in his arms. His arms were stiff for a long time before he slowly let go of the person, then closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Just to avoid him being woken up, and then let her go tomorrow morning, he thought.
