Chapter 1019: Resentment
"I know I tend to act impulsively, and I understand Aunt Ye’s worries, but my decision to go to the Capital City with Xu Zijing was not made in the heat of the moment, and it seemed that he did not truly harbor any ill intentions toward me."
Ye Qingci’s expression was cold as she said softly, "What do you know? Xu Zijing is deep and inscrutable; even in the Demon Slayer Department, few understand what he truly thinks or cares about."
Su Chengyu thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know about other things, but I could at least see that he cares a lot about Lin An."
After Xu Zijing arrived, though he did not even greet Lin An privately, Su Chengyu noticed the tenderness and regret in Xu Zijing’s eyes when they fell on Lin An.
This look was all too familiar to Su Chengyu; he had seen it more than once on Feng Jie Yu in the Waiting for the Wind Inn.
"You still have the face to say it. It’s one thing for the Holy Maiden of the Luo Clan, but you even dare to meddle with Princess Lin An—are you not afraid of inviting trouble onto yourself?"
Upon hearing Su Chengyu mention Lin An, Ye Qingci became even more frustrated, unable to understand why Su Chengyu would get involved with Lin An, given that both of their identities were too special.
Su Chengyu said helplessly, "At first, I didn’t know, but later, even after I did, I couldn’t stop."
Ye Qingci glared at Su Chengyu, wondering how she had never noticed before that this young man was so audacious.
"You really are like your father, audacious and flirtatious by nature!"
Su Chengyu touched his nose, not daring to respond.
