The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 49 The Prince's Secret History

Ye Shishu's face flushed red, and after biting her red lips, she replied, "You've seen everything, what are you afraid of?"

Yu Chi Ling's thin lips landed on the fleshy earlobe, gently sucking as he whispered hoarsely, "Didn't see clearly..."

Noticing his large hand burrowing into the blankets, Ye Shishu immediately grabbed his wrist, her face flushed with anger, and said, "Don't look! You're always trying to take advantage of me, why won't you let me see?"

As soon as she finished speaking, not only was Yu Chi Ling stunned, but she herself was also stunned.

After a brief moment of silence, the man chuckled, then withdrew his hand from under the covers and placed it on his waist.

Seeing this, Ye Shishu quickly grabbed his wrist, blushing as she exclaimed, "Aren't you ashamed?"

Yu Chi Ling embraced her, blanket and all, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

His laugh instantly dispelled all the passion he had just displayed.

Ye Shishu couldn't help but push him, "Quickly give me the clothes on the rack!"

Looking at her exposed arms and fair shoulders, Yu Chi Ling's Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily. He took a deep breath before forcing himself to let her go.

After getting out of bed, he took her clothes from the shelf and then sat back down on the bed.

But instead of giving her the clothes right away, he placed them on the bed and picked up a pale yellow item first...

"You!" Ye Shishu blushed and snatched the bodice away, quickly stuffing it into the quilt.

"Do you need my help?" Yu Chi Ling stared intently at her slightly swollen red lips.

"No need!" Ye Shishu instantly pulled the blanket over her head.

"Cough!" Yu Chi Ling cleared his throat and got up, then pulled down the bed curtains for her.

Ye Shishu dressed herself with the fastest speed she had ever used in both her lives, then drew back the bed curtains to find him standing by the bed with a clean cloth in his hand.

He didn't say anything more, but simply sat down beside her naturally and began to wipe her black hair with a cloth.

Ye Shishu felt awkward all over, but at this moment his face was tense, his eyes fixed straight ahead, staring intently at her wet hair. Compared to his previous lewd and unrestrained behavior, he was completely different, making it impossible for her to utter the words of refusal.

Left with no other choice, she tried to change the subject, "Your Highness, what brings you here? Where is your carriage chair?"

“Outside the door,” the man replied to her last question.

"Have you had lunch yet since you came at this hour?"

"Not yet."

"Then shall I send someone to tell my elder brother to prepare some wine and food for you?"

Yu Chi Ling paused in his movements, his gaze turning icy as he stared at her. "Why tell him? I'm not here to see him!"

Ye Shishu lowered her eyes and said softly, "You should at least say something, so it doesn't look like we're having an affair."

Yu Chi Ling suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist and said with displeasure, "I came here openly and honestly!"

Ye Shishu couldn't help but pat his chest. "I'll go bring the car seat in. Otherwise, when my older brother comes over and sees you like this, I won't know how to explain it to him!"

"Are you worried about me?" Yu Chi Ling not only didn't let go, but instead hugged her even tighter.

"Either you pretend to the end, or you don't pretend at all. Pretending one minute and not pretending the next makes me uneasy too!" Ye Shishu stared at the scars on his face and said with disgust, "I really don't know what you were thinking, making yourself so ugly, just to make yourself a laughing stock!"

"What others may laugh at won't cost me a piece of flesh. Besides, it will reduce unnecessary trouble and prevent others from having designs on me." Yu Chi Ling took her hand and placed it on the scar on his face. "Wouldn't that make things much easier for the Princess?"

Ye Shishu had never thought about this question before, and was speechless for a moment. But when he took her hand, and his broad, warm palm covered the back of her hand, her heart began to race.

Turning to his face, although the huge scar was incredibly ugly, it couldn't hide his sharply defined features, especially his deep black eyes, which were like pools of water, seemingly possessing some kind of magic that could draw people in.

In fact, he wasn't exaggerating. If it weren't for his crippled legs and disfigured face, his stunning good looks would have attracted countless women.

Just as she was lost in thought, a masculine scent suddenly enveloped her. She snapped back to reality and saw his face looming large before her as he turned and kissed her.

Suddenly, Aunt Jiu's deliberately raised voice came from outside the door, "Young Master, what brings you here?"

Ye Shishu quickly pulled her hand away, pushed him away, and jumped out of bed.

Outside the door, Ye Shiting looked at the wheelchair by the door, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep and complex. "I heard that Prince Cheng has arrived?"

Ninth Aunt lowered her eyes and replied, "The Prince is talking to the Princess in the room."

"Big brother, you've arrived." Ye Shishu stepped out of the room and chuckled at him, "The prince just arrived, I haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

Ye Shiting stared at the forced smile on her face, then glanced at the wheelchair. After a slight stiffness, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

He then strode into the room, his gaze fixed on the man sitting on the edge of the bed.

The person is inside the room.

The car seat is outside the door.

How did Prince Seung get in?

Ye Shishu and Aunt Jiu worked together to carry the wheelchair into the room and place it next to the bed.

Seeing the incredulous expression on his older brother's face, Ye Shishu knew without asking that he could no longer hide it.

“Brother, the Prince has arrived in a hurry and hasn’t had lunch yet. He’s not very mobile and it’s inconvenient for him to eat in the flower hall. Ninth Aunt and I will bring in the wine and dishes, and you can have the Prince have a couple of drinks here, how about that?”

"Ah."

Ye Shishu gave Ninth Aunt a wink, and quickly tidied up the bathing supplies in the room before leaving.

Ye Shiting sat down at the table. Looking at the bathing items in the room and his sister's face, which was redder than a monkey's bottom, he could guess what had happened in the room without asking. So at this moment, his face was dark and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the prince.

But the prince had no intention of explaining. He got up, walked to the table, and sat down opposite him.

Ye Shiting stared intently at his long, intact legs. Although he had already guessed it, seeing it with his own eyes still shocked him.

"Why does Your Highness 'degrade' yourself like this?"

Yu Chi Ling picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of tea, pushed one to him, took a sip of the other, and said in a low voice, "When I was leading troops in the Southern Frontier, I was not only almost harmed by treacherous people, but I also almost lost thousands of soldiers. Later, I found out that the person was instructed by someone to deliberately approach me, hoping to gain my trust and then cause me to suffer heavy losses, and then accuse me of the serious crime of treason."

"After that person's intentions were exposed, I chased her to a cliff, where she fell to her death. It's a pity I didn't get any evidence that she was behind it all. Because I was unwilling to accept this, I staged an injury to mislead the person behind it all."

Although he only briefly explained the reason without going into details, Ye Shiting was shocked by what he heard.

"Has Your Highness informed the Emperor of this matter?"

“If I speak of something without evidence, it will only make people think that I am making excuses to exonerate myself.”

"Does Your Highness have anyone you suspect?"

Faced with his direct question, Yu Chi Ling smiled slightly and said, "Even I find it absurd to say."
