Su Yueyue blinked her beautiful eyes, a bit expectant and a bit shy. "King Yu... Will you marry me?"
Her words were like a wake - up call, instantly sobering King Yu up.
In this matter, the only one who could benefit was the Su family.
He knew that Su Yueyue had always wanted to marry him, but he didn't believe that she would use such extreme means. After all, she was a woman. So the only explanation now was Su Zhengyi.
Since he was so eager for him to marry his daughter, why not marry her?
Lifting his hand to caress Su Yueyue's fair face, King Yu's lips curved slightly. His eyes were cold, but his tone was extremely gentle. "Yes, I will."
Completely bewitched by these three words, Su Yueyue showed a happy smile. The blush on her cheeks made her look extremely cute.
Just then, the carriage arrived at the Su Mansion. As soon as King Yu got off the carriage with Su Yueyue in his arms, they happened to meet Wang Manwen and Su Zhengyi who were looking for them.
King Yu glanced at them. His already cold face showed an unfathomable expression.
Su Zhengyi keenly noticed this, so he warily put away his smile.
Wang Manwen had received the news as soon as something happened to Su Yueyue and King Yu in the First Fragrance Restaurant.
She had been suppressing her anxious mood and didn't go to the First Fragrance to look for Su Yueyue because she secretly thought that if Su Yueyue could get pregnant this time, the position of King Yu's consort would be secure.
So now seeing King Yu personally carrying Su Yueyue back, Wang Manwen felt indescribably overjoyed. "This... Why is Yueyue being carried by King Yu?"
The matter between him and Su Yueyue had made such a big stir that the whole capital probably knew about it. Yet Wang Manwen was pretending to be stupid.
King Yu narrowed his long and narrow eyes. "There was an accident. I'll put Yueyue in her room to rest first."
Wang Manwen nodded repeatedly. "Sure, sure, come quickly."
Saying so, she quickly led the way to Su Yueyue's courtyard. When passing by Su Zhengyi, King Yu and Su Zhengyi's eyes met.
That cold look in King Yu's eyes made Su Zhengyi shiver involuntarily. But when he looked again, there was nothing left.
"You should rest well. As for what I promised you just now, I will surely keep my word. So you can rest assured."
Laying Su Yueyue on the bed, King Yu whispered to comfort her.
Su Yueyue was also obedient and didn't keep asking questions. "Okay."
Wang Manwen stood behind them, watching their sweet interaction. She clenched her hands proudly.
So what if Su Mingyu had married King Ruixian? Her Yueyue was about to marry King Yu. Although they were both kings, their statuses were quite different.
Ye Mengdie couldn't defeat her before, and now Ye Mengdie's daughter couldn't either. Su Mingyu and her daughter were destined to grovel at her feet!
After seeing King Yu off, Wang Manwen stepped forward lovingly to tidy up her daughter's loose hair. "Yueyue! You did a great job this time!"
Su Yueyue pursed her lips, smiling shyly and proudly. "Mother, King Yu promised to marry me in the carriage just now."
Wang Manwen's eyes lit up. "Did he admit it personally?"
Su Yueyue raised her proud head. "Of course he did! It seems that the position of King Yu's consort is mine for sure!"
"If only your belly could be more promising." Wang Manwen glanced at Su Yueyue's flat abdomen.
A blush crept onto Su Yueyue's cheeks. It seemed that she was recalling what had happened in the First Fragrance Restaurant. She lovingly stroked her abdomen. "Mother, please ask the doctor to prescribe a prescription to help with pregnancy for me."
Wang Manwen nodded understandingly. There were many wrinkles on her face due to the smile. "I'll go right away."
"For this time, you must hold onto King Yu tightly." Before leaving, Wang Manwen specifically turned around to instruct Su Yueyue.
Su Yueyue nodded understandingly. "I know. I didn't force him. He said himself that he would marry me. And..."
With such a big incident, he had no choice but to marry her.
If he didn't, Su Yueyue would surely find a way to force King Yu.
Seeing her daughter so confident, Wang Manwen was satisfied and turned away.
In Su Zhengyi's study, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
Su Zhengyi looked at King Yu. After waiting for a long time and seeing that King Yu didn't speak, he had no choice but to speak first. "King Yu... I wonder if I should say something."
King Yu raised his long and narrow eyebrows. "Lord Su, feel free to speak your mind."
Su Zhengyi pretended to sigh helplessly. "Now the matter between Your Highness and my little daughter has become well - known throughout the capital. I wonder what King Yu's opinion on this matter is?"
As his voice faded, the air in the room seemed to change.
King Yu stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Su Zhengyi who was a bit shorter than him. Suddenly, he curled his lips. "Then what do you mean, Lord Su?"
How could he throw this matter to him?
Su Zhengyi narrowed his shrewd eyes. He recalled the look in King Yu's eyes when he entered the mansion just now. Did King Yu suspect that he had arranged this?
"Of course, this matter is up to King Yu to decide. It's my little daughter's blessing if she can be favored by King Yu. If not... It's just that she doesn't have such good fortune."
Hearing what Su Zhengyi said, King Yu's eyes flashed and a hint of smile appeared in his eyes. "If this king really doesn't marry her, will Yueyue have to kill herself?"
King Yu stared coldly at Su Zhengyi. Su Zhengyi couldn't have been unaware of how big this incident was, yet he could say such things. Clearly, he was testing him.
Sure enough, hearing King Yu say this, Su Zhengyi immediately knelt on the ground. "Your Highness, please calm down. Of course, I hope that King Yu can marry my little daughter. But if King Yu is not willing, I will have absolutely no complaints."
Looking at Su Zhengyi kneeling on the ground, King Yu curled his lips in a half - smile. "What do you mean, Lord Su? This king was just making a hypothesis."
Although he said so, he didn't let Su Zhengyi get up.
Su Zhengyi's heart suddenly sank.
Originally, he thought that given the usual intimacy between Su Yueyue and King Yu, since "the rice had been cooked into porridge", marriage would be a natural thing. But why had it become like this?
Su Zhengyi hung his head. "This matter is entirely up to Your Highness to decide."
"Even if this king doesn't marry your daughter?" King Yu snorted coldly, which made Su Zhengyi feel ice - cold all over.
He gritted his teeth and finally nodded. "I dare not influence King Yu's choice."
"It seems that you still know that this king is a king." King Yu walked slowly to the door. Just as he was about to step out of the door, he said casually. "Get up. This king will handle this matter."
Hearing this, Su Zhengyi got up nervously and watched King Yu leave.
But all this made Su Zhengyi frown. Why had King Yu's attitude suddenly changed like this?
