Chapter 1630 -1623: She is Warm

He really didn’t want to accept Su Yingxue’s request.

He didn’t want to have any entanglement with her, not even a handshake.

He turned to leave, but Su Yingxue blocked his path.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a delicate section of her arm.

The moonlight spilled over her skin like a layer of flowing starlight, highlighting her snow-white complexion and jade-like bones to ultimate beauty.

However, there were several bruises on her wrist, marring that beauty.

Chu Yihan recognized at once that the marks on her wrist were caused by his own rough dragging.

He was not one to treat Su Yingxue with tenderness, but he hadn’t expected to hurt her so severely.

A sense of aversion arose within him; her skin was so tender – truly, she was being overly delicate.

“My request is not excessive, just that the night is too cold, and I wish… to borrow a bit of warmth from Your Highness, just a little will do.”

Su Yingxue looked at him with eyes full of longing, like an obedient cat waiting to be caressed.

Chu Yihan, as if possessed, extended his hand.

The moment their skin touched, Chu Yihan’s heart trembled as if struck by electricity.

Su Yingxue’s hand was warm.

She was unlike his mother, unlike Mo Qi, unlike everyone he had met since waking up.

Her body was warm.

Extremely hot.

Chu Yihan subconsciously gripped her hand tightly.

Su Yingxue also felt the warmth, her heart filled with joy, and even an impulse to embrace Chu Yihan emerged.

“Achoo—”

A sneeze interrupted her, and she forcibly suppressed the urge and then released Chu Yihan’s hand.

“I have offended Your Highness,” Su Yingxue said with a shallow smile, ready to leave.

But then she remembered something, turned back to Chu Yihan and said in a low voice, “If Her Majesty the Dowager feels unwell again, please have someone notify me. I will visit Her Majesty if I am available!

Your Highness has a weak constitution and chill; such strenuous efforts will not help your recovery. Please take more care.”

No matter whether he would be with her or how much he disliked her.

She just hoped that this one person who made her feel warmth could live well.

Su Yingxue’s slender figure merged into the night, and she disappeared from Chu Yihan’s sight at once.

For the first time, Chu Yihan felt that this woman who entangled him was not so detestable after all.

Su Yingxue continued to see patients at the clinic, but the patient in front of her took her by surprise, “Cousin? Why are you here?”

Su Han took off her hood in the treatment room, revealing a beautiful and extraordinary face, within which lay a hint of urgency, “Yingxue, I heard Song Chengyi has already returned to Jiang Du City?”

Thinking it over, Su Yingxue remembered that Chu Chengye had mentioned to her two days before that, with his help, Song Chengyi had indeed arrived in Jiang Du City.

She nodded, “He has already returned.”

“Yingxue, arrange a meeting between me and him, please!”

Before Su Yingxue could say anything more, Su Han urgently grabbed her hand, tears brimming in her eyes as she pleaded, “You don’t understand, I’ve been apart from him for so long, I’m really worried about him, and I miss him terribly, I just want to be reunited with him.”

Dragging the corners of her mouth into a smile, Su Yingxue said, “Cousin, I understand the pain of longing, but after all… you are already married.”

Now she is the legitimate Regional Princess, even if she does not like Chu Xiaotian, she cannot just secretly meet with a former lover. If someone were to find out and the news got out…

Her reputation would be completely ruined!

The Regional Prince’s Mansion will certainly not let her off!

How could Su Han not be aware of these things, yet she, grasping Su Yingxue’s hand, grasped it even tighter, “Yingxue, think of a way please! I don’t love that Chu Xiaotian, being with him feels like an eternity, I just want to be with Chengyi.”

“Cousin, no matter what, I can’t break up your marriage with Chu Xiaotian now, but with Song Chengyi… I can arrange for you to meet him at the clinic, but I must be present.”

Out of sisterly love for Su Han, Su Yingxue could help her this one time, but she absolutely could not allow them to act improperly and tarnish Su Han’s and their family’s reputation.

Su Han agreed with excitement.

Su Yingxue did not know whether Su Han had let slip anything when she went back, but the next day, when she asked Song Chengyi to come to the clinic pretending to seek treatment and got Su Han to assist her, it was only moments after they met, before they could even exchange a few words, that Chu Xiaotian burst in.

He was followed by the guards of the Regional Prince’s Mansion, arriving with a menacing air, and directly raided the largest Tongchang Medical Center in the east of the city.

He chased all the patients away and from beside Song Chengyi, he yanked Su Han over, “Slut! After being married to me for so long, you still secretly meet with another man! Su Han, is your heart made of stone?”

“Don’t touch her!”

Song Chengyi wanted to intervene, but Chu Xiaotian was pulling Su Han away fiercely, and he didn’t dare use force, fearing he would hurt her.

Moreover, there was a fleeting shadow of darkness in his eyes as he looked towards Chu Yihan.

Chu Xiaotian tightly gripped Su Han’s wrist, pulling her toward his embrace.

With a sword at the ready in front of Song Chengyi, he bellowed, “You’re nothing but a country bumpkin, relying on a chance contribution to join the military camp. Do you also think you can seduce the wife of a prince with this merit? Your Highness tells you, dream on! You shall not succeed!”

“Let go of Han’er!” Song Chengyi affectionately called Su Han, even though he knew Chu Xiaotian was furious.

“Han’er? She is my woman!”

Chu Xiaotian’s eyes were bloodshot, and he had transformed into a wild and raging beast!

He tossed Su Han aside and then drew his sword against Song Chengyi.

Su Han’s heart thumped wildly as she cried out, “Don’t! Chu Xiaotian, don’t hurt him!”

“Cousin!”

Su Yingxue hurriedly pulled Su Han out of the fray.

The treatment room had already been turned upside down by the two fighting; Su Han, who knew no martial arts, might inadvertently get hurt if she stayed amid the chaos.

After pulling her out of the treatment room, Su Han clung to Su Yingxue’s arm, “Yingxue, please make them stop! Chengyi has just returned from quelling bandits, he is still wounded! He can’t fight with anyone! Chu Xiaotian will kill him!”

Su Yingxue wanted to stop them, but the two men inside were fighting fiercely, Chu Xiaotian with eyes red with murder, as if determined to end Song Chengyi’s life on the spot, sparing no mercy.

At first, Song Chengyi only defended himself, but as Chu Xiaotian’s attacks became more relentless, he was soon slashed all over!

“Chengyi!” Su Han cried out in pain, covering her mouth, her heart was torn with unspeakable agony.

She cried miserably, and Su Yingxue was well aware of it.

Pushing Su Han to the side, she took up her own whip and leapt into the fray, “Enough! All of you stop! This is my clinic!”

Jumping onto the table, Su Yingxue shouted loudly.

Interrupted by her, Chu Xiaotian gasped for breath, breathing heavily,
