Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Yu Yunxi’s words reminded Chu Ruishi that Xiao Shici was a guest. He coughed awkwardly and pretended to say calmly, “You’re young, but your chess skills are good. It’s just that you’re… slightly worse than me…

‘Is the Third Prince really slightly worse than you? Aren’t you evenly matched?’

Yu Yunxi did not know whether to laugh or cry. After all, her grandfather was becoming more and more like a child.

Chu Ruishi coughed again and said with a straight face, “Since it’s already so late at night, we can only play chess again another day. Yunxi, I’ll have to trouble you to send the Third Prince back.”

“How can I let Yunxi send me back? If anything, I should send her back to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence,” Xiao Shici said gently.

Chu Ruishi waved his hand and said with a smile, “Alright, I don’t care who sends who back as long as you go back together.”

Chu Ruishi cleared his throat before he continued to say, “I’m tired. Li Xu, help me to the bedroom.”

“Yes, Emperor Emeritus.”

Li Xu naturally knew that Chu Ruishi wanted to create an opportunity for Yu Yunxi and Xiao Shici to get along. He tactfully stepped forward and helped Chu Ruishi to his feet.

Seeing Chu Ruishi and Li Xu leaving in a hurry, Yu Yunxi naturally knew what they were thinking. Once again, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Xiao Shici said reassuringly, “Don’t worry. I’ll stop tne Emperor Emeritus trom rushing us to get married. After half a year, I’ll personally explain this matter to him.”

Seeing how thoroughly Xiao Shici had planned this matter, how could Yu Yunxi be dissatisfied? She nodded and said softly, “Alright, thank you.”

When the duo left the Emperor Emeritus’ palace, the night breeze was cold. As such, Xiao Shici moved to Yu Yunxi’s right side.

Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned when she realized that the wind was blowing from the right side and that Xiao Shici was blocking the wind for her. She said softly, “Thank you, Third Prince.”

“It sounds very distant when you address me as ‘Third Prince’. Just address me as ‘Shici’ just like how I address you as ‘Yunxi’. It’s just a form of address,” Xiao Shici said.

Yu Yunxi did not hesitate and quickly nodded. “Alright. I’ll address you as Shici from now on.’

After that, she continued to say, “You don’t have to take my grandfather’s words to heart. I can return to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence on my own.

Let’s part ways here.”

“Since I already told the Emperor Emeritus that I’ll send you back to the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, I’ll naturally do as I said. Don’t tell me that you want me to be a person who goes back on his words?” Xiao Shici said.

Since Xiao Shici had already said so much, how could Yu Yunxi refuse him? “Alright, thank you, ” Yu Yunxi said before she got into Xiao Shici’s carriage.

The carriage was silent.

Yu Yunxi could feel Xiao Shici’s gentle gaze on her from time to time.

Without any warning, Xiao Shici suddenly asked, “Yunxi, are you unwilling to accept this marriage because of the King of Youshan… or should I say, Feng Yili?”

As soon as Xiao Shici’s voice fell, Yu Yunxi’s expression turned cold and wary immediately.

‘He actually knows that Feng Yili is the King of Youshan? What does he want?’

Seeing the cold and wary expression on Yu Yunxi’s face, the smile on Xiao Shici’s face faded a little. He shook his head and said in a complicated tone, “I thought we were good friends. I didn’t expect you to still distrust me. Don’t worry. Although I know Feng Yili’s true identity, I don’t have any intention of telling anyone about it.”

Upon hearing these words, Yu Yunxi felt rather awkward. She said stiffly,

“Sorry, I overreacted earlier.”

“It’s fine. You’re just too worried about Feng Yili,” Xiao Shici said, shaking his head. He did not have any intention of harping on this matter.

“How did you know about Feng Yili’s true identity?” Yu Yunxi asked.

“Others might not know, but I have the blood of the Feng family flowing in my veins after all. Moreover, I was in Tianxia for many years. The bearing and the temperament of the King of Youshan and the Prince Regent of Tianxia are too similar. It’s almost impossible for two people to be so similar. That’s also why I investigated the matter and discovered the truth…” Xiao Shici explained patiently.

‘I see…’

Yu Yunxi sighed in relief. At the same time, her admiration for Xiao Shici also grew.

‘With such a meticulous mind, it’d be terrifying if he were an enemy…’

Silence descended in the carriage again.

The duo did not chat anymore after that.

When the carriage pulled up to the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence, Meng Xia’s voice rang from outside.

“Eldest Princess, we’ve arrived.”

“Alright,” Yu Yunxi responded before she said to Xiao Shici, “I’ll take my leave first.’

With that, Yu Yunxi alighted from the carriage. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shici followed her down, holding a food container in his hands.

“Godfather and the others heard that you’re in Xichu. They left Xinan a while ago, and I believe they’ll be arriving in a few days. They even ordered people to send snacks from Xinan first. I believe you must miss them very much.”

Yu Yunxi’s eyes reddened immediately when she opened the food container and saw the familiar snacks. Warm memories from the past surfaced in her mind immediately. An expression of guilt could be seen on her face as she said in a low voice, “I’ve made them worry.”

“Don’t think that way. They’re all very happy to know that you’re fine,” Xiao Shici said seriously to comfort Yu Yunxi.

Suddenly…

“Cousin, who is this?”

In the next moment, a gorgeously dressed figure ran out. It was none other than Yu Xiaoxiao. Seeing that Yu Yunxi had not returned even though it was so late, she had waited at the entrance to investigate the matter. She did not expect to see such a handsome man.

‘He is even more handsome than the Crown Prince…’

Yu Xiaoxiao could not look away from Xiao Shici at all. She asked bluntly, “Who are you?”

Xiao Shici glanced at Yu Yunxi and saw the icy expression on her face. Then, he shifted his gaze to the restless Yu Xiaoxiao and replied expressionlessly, “Xiao

Shici. ”

“Xiao Shici? What a good name! Brother Shici, it seems like we’re really fated. My name also has the word ‘Xiao’ in it,” Yu Xiaoxiao said coquettishly, hoping to attract Xiao Shici’s attention.

Yu Yunxi, Meng Xia, and the others; who were watching from the side, were speechless and felt nauseous.

‘She’s only just met the Third Prince, but she’s already addressing him as

‘Brother Shici’. Is Yu Xiaoxiao really so shameless?’

Yu Yunxi did not want Yu Xiaoxiao to disgust her any further so she said bluntly, “Yu Xiaoxiao, there’s nothing for you to do here. You can take your leave.”

“Cousin, Brother Shici and I are just talking. Why are you so angry? Moreover, you’re an unmarried woman, and yet, you dare to return so late with a man. If the Third Prince of Beixiao hears about this, he’ll definitely be upset. I’m accompanying you for your own good,” Yu Xiaoxiao said confidently.

Immediately after that, Xiao Shici said icily, “Xiao is the surname of the imperial family of Beixiao.”

Yu Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said ignorantly, “I know that Xiao is the surname of the imperial family of Beixiao.”

“I’m the Third Prince of Beixiao whom you just mentioned..”
