Chu Yihan gently stroked her soft hair, his gaze involuntarily softening. “I’ve kept it at the border all this time. Recently, the caretakers mentioned that it seemed to have lost its appetite, perhaps missing me. So, I brought it to Jiang Du City.”

Su Yingxue couldn’t help but chuckle. “Your Highness, your bond with a tiger runs deep.”

“What’s this? Are you feeling jealous?” Chu Yihan raised an eyebrow, hoping for an affirmative response.

However, Su Yingxue shook her head. “1 wouldn’t dare. Tigers are the kings of beasts. What if it bites me?”

Recalling the encounter with a lion on the hunting ground, she was still frightened. If not for Chu Yihan’s timely arrival, she might have become the lion’s prey.

Such a massive pet could only be cared for and played with by Chu Yihan.

“It wouldn’t dare,” Chu Yihan assured.

Chu Yihan half leaned on the soft couch. “My woman, no one can touch her, and the same goes for it.”

Envoys from various regions arrived in Jiang Du City one after another. Su Yingxue busied herself with organizing their affairs, feeling overwhelmed. She allowed Aunt Jing Fang to arrange a room for her, settling in Qinghe Palace to save time.

Su Yingxue had organized the attendance of an envoy from Belling and was preparing to join Chu Yihan in response to his invitation.

The envoy from Beiling said that he had asked someone to bring a chef from the Qi State to cook dishes for him.

As she stepped out, Qin Muyan’s imposing figure blocked her way.

His resonant voice filled the air. “Miss Su, haven’t had dinner yet? How about I treat you at Furong Restaurant?”

Su Yingxue, not eager to encounter him, politely declined. “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I have plans for tonight and can’t dine with you.”

“Oh? Who’s the lucky one you’re meeting? Is it your special someone?” Qin Muyan felt a slight sense of crisis. He made up his mind that, regardless of where Su Yingxue went that night, he would follow her!

“It’s not your concern, Your Highness?” Su Yingxue remarked, giving Qin Muyan a disdainful look. As she lifted her foot to leave, Qin Muyan extended his hand to block the door. “If he were your sweetheart, 1 would have insisted on accompanying you.”

He sounded childlike, yet his physique and serious expression contradicted that. Su Yingxue found it odd. “Why must Your Highness follow me? I’m not married, and even if I have someone special, what does it have to do with you?” “Do you truly have someone special?” Qin Muyan’s expression darkened, clenching his fists.

Without disclosing her feelings, Su Yingxue pushed him out and continued.

Zhilan stood at the door. Seeing her approach, she spoke, “Miss, Your Highness sent Mo Qi earlier, mentioning he has prior commitments tonight. However, the prince’s mansion’s chef is ready. You can go whenever you like.”

Muttering to herself, Su Yingxue said, “He’s not around, so why would I go to the prince’s mansion alone?”

Not finding it appealing, she decided to grab a casual meal.

“Miss Su, did your sweetheart stand you up?” Qin Muyan, with a smile, once again blocked her path.

“None of your concern!” Su Yingxue replied, growing impatient.

“Since your sweetheart stood you up, how about I treat you to a meal? It can be considered repaying last time’s favor. I don’t owe women anything.”

Qin Muyan displayed a magnanimous demeanor.

He was tall and sturdy, and he had a pretty good face. He had a dignified and awe-inspiring appearance, and it was easy for him to attract young girls. However, Su Yingxue () was not interested in him at all.

As for why she would dine with him at Furong Restaurant…

It was because Su Yingxue was in a bad mood and wanted to indulge in a hearty meal.. Since Qin Muyan offered to treat her, why not?
