NOVEL NEXT Ah Zhao looks cold and says: “You are overthinking it. If you are humiliated, I will lose face as well.
Realizing that Zhao Yin doesn’t intend to let go of her, she can’t help but say: “Let go!”
Seeing her fair complexion with a blush, Zhao Yin’s heart skips a beat and says: “Princess, your hand is so soft and smooth that I wouldn’t want to let go.”
That is supposed to be fun between husband and wife, but Ah Zhao’s face turns serious after hearing that.
She doesn’t know where her strength comes from and abruptly shakes off his hand: “Please watch how you conduct yourself, Your Highness.”
Dislike apparent in her tone.
Zhao Yin’s look changes as well.
Any man would be unhappy if treated by his wife in such apparent dislike.
But he laughs rather than being angry: “Excuse me for my bluntness, Princess.”
But within an instant, they go back to treating each other as an honored guest.
Ah Zhao is a little nervous.
In this large and desolate palace, there are only the protagonist and herself.
She really doesn’t want to make it unpleasant between them in fear that he wouldn’t let her tug at his sleeves at night.
But she couldn’t mess up the designated personality of her character either that Qin Zhao hates to be touched by Zhao Yin.
Ah Zhao received Qin Zhao’s memory. It turns out that Qin Zhao learned that there was another woman in Prince Yan’s heart.
Qin Zhao, who has always been proud and arrogant couldn’t bear that.
She found several chances to meet with Zhao Yin. However, she couldn’t ask him directly about the woman. She made oblique references to that woman but Prince Yan was ambiguous and avoided her questions.
At first, Qin Zhao was only half believing in the rumor. However, after their meetings, she was surer that was true.
Zhao Yin has been very distant to Qin Zhao before their wedding.
Since Qin Zhao had a grievance already, and she was treated coldly, she simply didn’t care whether Zhao Yin had someone else any more. The two of them started to live their life together and each minded their own businesses.
Learning this incident, Ah Zhao is quite curious about which woman was in the protagonist’s heart.
That woman could let Zhao Yin ignore such a bewitchingly beauty as Princess Yan. So how beautiful would she be?
But if there’s really such a woman, how come she hasn’t heard of her at all?
It has been two years since Qin Zhao married Prince Yan and she has never heard anyone say anything about Prince Yan having a close female friend.
Ah Zhao is standing there, pondering. But in Zhao Yin’s eyes, he sees a woman who rejected to be close to him and stands there in a trance
Clearly she didn’t sleep well last night. Her face is pale, with two dark under-eye circles. With a look at her, he starts to have pity on her.
The way she looks makes Zhao Yin’s heart softens.
But on the other hand, he’s angry at himself.
This woman obviously mistakes good for bad. Why is he so anxious about her?
Zhao Yin bends over and opens the food box. As he expected, there is nothing good in it, with a bunch of black salted vegetables and several dried up buns.
Zhao Yin smells it. Thank goodness they aren’t stale yet. Ah Zhao and he can still eat them.
Seeing that Ah Zhao is still standing there without any reaction, Zhao Yin tells himself to leave her alone. She will eat when she is hungry.
After some time.
Zhao Yin stands up in pain.
At that moment, Ah Zhao comes to herself and is scared by how Zhao Yin looks: “What happened to you?”
Zhao Yin looks cold. He doesn’t say anything, garbs a thing and leaves.
Ah Zhao looks at him baffled. She sees him go to the well, get a dipper of water and starts to pour water into his mouth.
