BXBX NOVEL Chapter 92 - 92: Have You Seen Other Men?
In the past, Su Qian and Xiao Yan didn’t have much interaction, but she still knew that Xiao Yan wasn’t born disabled. There must be some special reason that caused his legs to be bad.
However… A normal paralyzed person would have atrophied after sitting in a wheelchair for so long. But Xiao Yan was different. Even through his pants, Su Qian could see that his legs were strong and powerful. Other than the fact that he could not stand up, he seemed no different from an ordinary man.
As a physician, Su Qian had always been interested in difficult and complicated diseases. Xiao Yan’s condition was different from ordinary people, so she was lost in thought as she looked at him.
Su Qian’s gaze followed the man’s calf to his thigh. It was a casual glance, but her gaze accidentally moved up and landed on a certain area she shouldn’t be looking at.
“Heh.” Xiao Yan chuckled. It was obvious that he had noticed Su Qian’s actions a long time ago. He asked teasingly, “Is it nice to look at?”
For a moment, Su Qian felt embarrassed for being caught. She deliberately ignored the weight of a certain part of Xiao Yan’s body and replied. “It’s just so-so, about the same as a normal man.”
Little did she know, Xiao Yan’s smile disappeared instantly upon hearing her words. His tone turned dangerous as he asked, “You’ve seen other men?”
Su Qian had never seen any other men. She didn’t even remember how she had two children in the first place, let alone any other men.
“Ninth Prince, that’s my private matter,” Su Qian’s replied with a hint of distance in her words.
“You’ve seen me through and through, what’s the point of separating public and private matters?” Xiao Yan knew that Su Qian was just trying to show off. His originally gloomy mood immediately dissipated as he looked at Su Qian’s blushing face in satisfaction.
Su Qian gritted her teeth.
Alright, she admitted that she had indeed seen something that she shouldn’t have seen when she sneaked into the Imperial Residence that night. But for some reason, it was clearly just an accident at that time, but why did it sound different with these words came out of Xiao Yan’s mouth!
Su Qian quickly ignored Xiao Yan and picked up the teacup in front of her and drank her tea. Soon, she realized that there were still many young and beautiful ladies in the room who were peeking at Xiao Yan.
She had originally heard that Xiao Yan was the most low-key among the princes and that very few women adored him, but now it seemed that was not entirely true.
Just as Su Qian was thinking about these trivial matters, the eunuch’s prolonged voice of announcement came, “Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, the Empress has arrived!”
“This official (this official’s wife) greets the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the Empress.” Apart from Xiao Yan, everyone else in the imperial garden knelt down and bowed to show respect, which caused the whole crowd in the imperial garden to become shorter by a head.
“Rise.” The current Emperor, Xiao Zhen, was dressed in a dragon robe. He looked to be in his fifties. His sideburns were silver, but he did not appear old at all. The domineering aura of a person in a high position suppressed the entire audience, making his appearance remarkable.
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Everyone nodded in unison and watched as the three most prestigious people of the Fire Cloud took their seats.
“Queen Mother, slow down.” Xiao Zhen let the Empress Dowager sit on the main seat. “Today’s banquet is to celebrate the Queen Mother’s good health. Mother, please take a seat.”
“Yes, the Emperor is very thoughtful.” After the Empress Dowager nodded and sat down, her gaze swept across everyone who had taken their seats. Her originally cold gaze instantly melted when she saw Xiao Yan and Su Qian. “Xiao Jiu, you really understand me too well. You even knew to bring Miss Su to show me. I didn’t raise you in vain.”
Witnessing this scene, everyone could not help but be surprised.
Everyone knew that Empress Dowager doted on Xiao Yan, but wasn’t her attitude towards Su Qian a little too good?
