Chapter 270: The Crown Prince Is Back
Wei Chang coldly glanced at him, stepped forward, and blocked Jiang Kui’s line of sight toward Jiang Ruanxi.
Looking down at Jiang Kui from above, his voice was like wrapped in ice, “No need for you to worry.”
He then said to Yushui on the side, “Yushui, see the guest out.”
Yushui stepped forward and said to Jiang Kui, “Grand Tutor, please.”
Jiang Kui acted as if he hadn’t heard, locking eyes with Wei Chang, with invisible intense sparks around them.
Invisible clashing of blades and swords, Yushui and Wan Qing could both smell the gunpowder between them.
They didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, their bodies stiff and not daring to move.
After a moment, Jiang Kui spoke indifferently, “Return to the palace.”
As soon as he spoke, his chair was pushed by his guard and turned in a direction, heading toward the door.
“You two go out first.” Wei Chang coldly swept a glance at them.
Wan Qing and Yushui were more than happy to oblige, hurrying toward the door with swift steps, afraid that if they were slow, the wolf behind would chase up and tear them apart.
After leaving, they thoughtfully closed the door.
After they left, Wei Chang dropped his guard or full-body exhaustion, looking at Jiang Ruanxi with a face full of heartache, sitting on the bed and holding her hand.
He found her hand very cold, couldn’t help but rub it for her, and feeling it warm up a bit, Wei Chang felt a little better in his heart.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m back, I’ll protect you well.” Wei Chang looked at Jiang Ruanxi’s pale face and promised.
Thinking that he had only gone to Lingnan not long ago, those people actually took advantage of his absence to harm Jiang Ruanxi like this, he wished he could go kill them.
“It’s my fault, originally after your feigned death and divorce from Lin Ningkun, you left the Capital, as long as I didn’t appear, with your abilities, you should be living well outside now, and very wonderfully. But I couldn’t accept it, thinking that you were free now, I could have you. But I didn’t expect you to encounter these filthy things…”
Jiang Ruanxi had originally wanted to open her eyes after he said the first sentence, to give him a surprise, but when he continued speaking, she wanted to hear Wei Chang’s heartfelt words, so she mischievously kept pretending to sleep.
But she hadn’t expected to hear so many heartfelt words.
She was a bit surprised in her heart, because even after half a year of marriage, she had never heard the words he said just now.
As Wei Chang spoke, his tone was a bit choked.
“If I knew you would encounter these things, half a year ago, I wouldn’t have appeared before you. You know, when I saw you regain your freedom, I was overjoyed in my heart, you don’t know how much effort I put in the Capital after your death to make Lin Ningkun divorce you. You were originally mine, I liked you after seeing you once when we were young, but I didn’t expect that later you would be betrothed to Lin Ningkun by the Jiang Family.”
As he spoke, Jiang Ruanxi felt a drop of tear fall on the back of her hand, Jiang Ruanxi could no longer hold back, and suddenly opened her eyes.
“We knew each other before?”
“You, you’re not dead?”
Wei Chang looked at her with a face full of surprise.
Wei Chang’s eyes were red, but the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn’t be suppressed.
Jiang Ruanxi was stunned, she hadn’t expected Wei Chang to cry, she didn’t care about asking him other questions, got up with a face full of heartache, and wiped the remaining tears on his face.
“I’m fine.”
“As long as you’re fine.”
Wei Chang suddenly pulled Jiang Ruanxi into his arms, hugging her tightly with force, afraid that if he didn’t hug tightly enough, Jiang Ruanxi would really fly away like a kite.
Only like this could he feel that Jiang Ruanxi was still by his side.
Jiang Ruanxi was hugged so tightly she could hardly breathe, but she also knew he was afraid, so she didn’t say much, instead smiling at the corner of her mouth as she hugged his waist to comfort him.
“Don’t worry, I’m really fine.”
