He removed his battle armor and donned a black robe with embroidered cloud patterns. Tall, handsome, and full of charisma, he caught the attention of the young ladies on the street, causing them to pause and cast flirtatious glances. Intentionally, Su Yingxue blocked his path. “Brother, why bring so many gifts just to visit me?”
Su Hao carried a jewelry box in his hand and a bundle in his arms, emitting a rosy fragrance. With a hint of apology in his smile, he said, “I rushed over from the military camp today and didn’t have time to bring you a gift. If you want something, just let Shu Yan know. I’ll make sure to bring it next time.”
Su Yingxue sighed softly, pretending to be jealous. “All of these are for Sister Jinyan. I didn’t get anything.”
Su Hao wanted to rub her head, but his hands were full of things. He could only promise,” What do you want? I’ll bring it to you next time! This time, it was too rushed. These are all for Yan’er’s reference. Since she’s managing a shop now, I need to get her things for reference.”
“Brother, is this just for reference? 1 suspect you visited every cosmetics store in Jiang Du City.” Su Yingxue teased, looking at his abundance of items.
Su Hao mentioned that he came from the military camp late, yet his dusty appearance didn’t match his claimed origin.
Seeing Su Hao struggling to respond, Su Yingxue playfully pushed him toward the stairs. “Alright, brother, go. If 1 want something, I won’t hold back next time. Hmph!”
Su Hao turned back, flashing a smile before carrying his load to find Wu Jinyan.
Su Yingxue leaned against the door and watched Su Hao go upstairs. At this moment, Zhilan also came down after bringing medicine to Wu Jinyan. She approached Su Yingxue with an envious expression. “Miss, Eldest Young Master is so good to Miss Jinyan! Miss Wu was shocked by the makeup and jewelry he brought. She didn’t expect Eldest Young Master to be so proactive and attentive.”
Su Yingxue smiled knowingly. “Brother isn’t a libertine. He’s always been attentive and caring towards loved ones.”
Even though he cared for Wu Jinyan, Su Yingxue knew she’d always have a place in his heart.
“Miss, you have someone caring for you just like Eldest Young Master! Moreover, the Ninth Prince…”
“Silly girl, what are you saying!” Su Yingxue covered her mouth and gave Zhilan a warning look before leading her back to the treatment room.
Zhilan smirked. “1 didn’t even finish speaking, and you’re already getting nervous. Clearly, you understand that Your Highness treats you well.”
“He treats me normally,” Su Yingxue replied, her face cool.
Chu Yihan had countless beautiful women around him, so there might be women around him with some connection.
Zhilan saw her indifference and grew more anxious. “Miss, please don’t say that. The Ninth Prince hasn’t married for years and avoids women. It’s widely known. But when he looks at you, his eyes are gentle. It’s something I’ve never seen before.”
“His gaze… You might be mistaken,” Su Yingxue said, focusing on her medical book.
“Then there’s one more thing that can’t be wrong!” Zhilan blinked her clear and bright eyes.
“What are you implying?”
“Your Highness genuinely cares about you!” Zhilan’s gaze was resolute. “1 never imagined I could enter the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to meet him and be treated as an esteemed guest. When I brought medicine for Miss Your Highness, his expression was always joyful..
