Chapter 419

Street-side Wine House

Ye Sisi stood in front of the private room door, nervously covering her own chest, her face full of anticipation.

Seventh Prince, you finally are willing to pay attention to her!

Since her older sister Ye Huanhuan disappeared, Seventh Prince has avoided her like a snake and scorpion. As a result, these days she hasn't even met the Seventh Prince, spending every day in gloom, missing that spectacular palace banquet.

She had previously, because the Seventh Prince was having an affair with Zhao Yan at the inn, felt heartbroken and desperate, even resolved to forget him. But she couldn't. She really, really loves the Seventh Prince!

Therefore, she ultimately chose to forgive him.

Today, the Seventh Prince invited her to the Wine House—what does he intend to do?

Her heart was full of anticipation, pounding, as if a Xiao Lu were crashing inside.

If he wants to start anew, she is willing.

With an excited heart, Ye Sisi finally pushed open the room door.

Inside the private room, Dongfang Xuan stood by the window, facing outward, his tall, upright silhouette exuding an aura of nobility.

Ye Sisi's eyes showed infatuation.

He's the man she's loved for many years!

Hearing the movement, Dongfang Xuan turned around.

Today, he wore a purple ornate robe and a jade crown.

He was already dashing and handsome, and today he deliberately dressed up, becoming even more extraordinary.

"Sisi, you're here?" he lowered his voice deliberately, sounding deep and sexy.

On his handsome face hung a gentle, dashing smile.

"Hmm."

Ye Sisi's face flushed red, and she shyly lowered her head.

Seeing her reaction, Dongfang Xuan's lips curled into a mischievous curve.

He knew that Ye Sisi had always been devoted to him. As long as he put in a little effort, she would be utterly devoted to him.

Thinking this way, Dongfang Xuan's smile grew brighter; he took two steps forward, reached out to twirl Ye Sisi's fallen hair, "Sisi, long time no see, you're becoming more beautiful."

Ye Sisi lowered her head even further.

"Come, sit down!"

Dongfang Xuan took Ye Sisi's hand and sat down, settling beside her, "All these are what you love to eat, have a taste while they're hot."

Ye Sisi looked around; the table was covered with dozens of dishes, most of which were her favorites.

A wave of emotion swept through her heart.

Seventh Prince, you really still care about her; otherwise how would you know what she likes to eat?

She had no idea that Dongfang Xuan had done his homework in advance.

"Seventh Prince, you're thoughtful."

Dongfang Xuan's expression hardened, "Call me Xuan brother."

"Xuan brother?"

She had called him that before.

"Alright." Ye Sisi nodded.

"Sisi, some time ago, I neglected you; I apologize."

Dongfang Xuan picked up a few pieces of food for Ye Sisi with his chopsticks.

"Actually, I didn't intentionally ignore you. These past days, I have also been living in torment."

Ye Sisi looked at Dongfang Xuan in surprise, seeing his face solemn and his eyes full of remorse.

"Sisi, do you know? I regret it deeply; it was my delusion that led me to Zhao Yan... these days, the reason I've been distant from you is because I feel dirty, unworthy of you..."

Mentioning Zhao Yan, a pang of pain inevitably rose in Ye Sisi's heart.

Even though she is already dead, the hurt she caused then can never be erased.

But what she didn't expect was that the Seventh Prince had been distant because he felt he was dirty, unworthy of her?

Is that really the case?

"Seventh Prince, really? The reason you're distant isn't because you think my sister is gone and the Ye Family's fortunes are over..."

"Is that how you think of me?" Dongfang Xuan said with a pained expression.

Ye Sisi's gaze trembled.

Could it be that she truly misunderstood him?

"If in your eyes I am that kind of person, then what meaning does my life have?"

Dongfang Xuan suddenly stood up and walked toward the window.

Ye Sisi, anxious as fire, grabbed his hand.

"No, Xuan brother, it's not like that! I believe in you, I believe you're not that kind of person!"

Dongfang Xuan turned his back to Ye Sisi, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

Foolish woman, how easy to deceive!

He turned, his face filled with emotion.

"Really? You finally are willing to trust me?"

"Hmm! I believe you!"

"That's wonderful!"

Chu Yixuan hugged Ye Sisi tightly.

Ye Sisi's whole body was tense.

The long-missed chest emitted a familiar fresh fragrance, making her heartbeat quicken.

She steeled herself, no longer able to care about anything else at this moment, closed her eyes, let herself follow her heart, and sank into the warmth of this moment.

As long as she could be with the Xuan-gege she loved, she didn't care about anything else!

Her chest rested against Dongfang Xuan's, her eyes closed, and the corners of her mouth slowly rose in a happy arc.

I almost thought I would lose you...

She said softly.

No, we won't. From now on, we will never be separated again.

Sisi, promise me, will you be my queen?

Ye Sisi trembled all over.

The Seventh Prince said, "Will you be my queen?"

They separated.

What, you're not willing?

Dongfang Xuan's face showed a tense expression.

No, I am willing!

The tension on Dongfang Xuan's face pleased Ye Sisi.

She gently shook her head and gladly accepted.

The happiest thing in this world is nothing more than marrying the man one loves, right?

After Ye Sisi left the private room, her face was flushed, her eyes seductive, looking especially happy.

Great, I can finally let go of past grievances with Xuan-gege and be together forever!

We will never be separated again!

Xuan-gege, I'm so happy!

Ye Sisi thought happily, and her steps became light.

She touched her warm earlobe and suddenly realized one earring had disappeared at some point.

That was a pair of very valuable earrings; without a second thought, she turned and headed back to the private room.

It must have fallen in the private room.

Just as she reached the door of the private room, she was about to knock when she heard a voice coming from inside.

Your Highness, are you really going to marry Ye Sisi as your queen?

A seductive woman's voice made Ye Sisi's face change dramatically.

Didn't the Seventh Prince say he had an appointment with friends to discuss important matters?

How come it's a woman?

But the next moment, she couldn't help laughing.

That's only natural.

As expected, Xuan-gege still loves her!

But you said the person you love most is me, didn't you?

I certainly love you the most!

The smile on Ye Sisi's face gradually faded.

Then why do you still go to such lengths to curry favor with her and agree to marry her as a consort?

It's just a concubine! Not the principal wife, what are you worried about?

Ye Sisi only felt her scalp go numb.

Dongfang Xuan just said he wanted to marry her as queen; could it be not the principal wife but a concubine?

A concubine is ultimately just a concubine!

She felt her heart freezing over bit by bit.

Then I don't want it either!

Beauty, are you jealous? If it weren't for the Empress Dowager insisting I marry Ye Sisi, do you think I would marry her?

That woman Ye Sisi, I've grown tired of her long ago.

How could you be interesting, Meng Lang?

Ye Sisi felt as if struck by five thunderbolts, her whole body as if drowning, hearing nothing, seeing nothing.

Just a moment ago, he kept saying he loved her, then turned around and was being lovey-dovey with another woman, even speaking ill of her behind her back.

Beauty, come, let Grandpa give you a kiss.

Mm-hmm~

Then, an ambiguous sound came from the room.
