Chapter 312 He used all the self-control he had ever had in his life.
Su Qingchan bit her lip and hesitated for a moment.
After a moment, as if remembering something, she lowered her head shyly, "That young master called himself Shilang, and we had a very pleasant conversation..."
She picked out some things that happened during her time with 'King Ming' over the past few days and talked about them.
Previously, she sometimes couldn't help but let her gaze fall on Lord Yun.
She didn't know if Yu Wan had noticed anything. If she did, she would be much more at ease if she confessed that she now had someone else she loved.
Yu Wan, however, was not as relieved as she had hoped.
Yun Shang's face was so alluring that Su Qingchan didn't think anything of it even after glancing at it a few more times.
As long as Su Qingchan doesn't do anything out of line.
However, the man who could make Su Qingchan fall for him so easily after the recent loss of her father and brother must be no ordinary person.
She frowned slightly, thinking to herself.
This "Shi Lang" is of unknown identity, yet he managed to win over Su Qingchan, a woman in mourning, so easily. He must be quite skilled at charming women.
As a woman herself, out of concern and worry, she couldn't help but offer Su Qingchan some advice.
She showed no concern, but smiled gently and said, "Judging from this, this young master is indeed outstanding."
She changed the subject, her expression becoming serious, and looked at Su Qingchan with sincere eyes.
"But Qingchan, you haven't known him for very long. People's hearts are unpredictable, so you must be careful. Now that your father and brother have just passed away, you are all alone. You must be even more cautious in your actions to avoid being criticized and gossiped about."
Su Qingchan nodded quickly and said anxiously, "Sister, don't worry, Shilang is definitely not a frivolous or reckless person."
“He was very caring towards me, and there was nothing inappropriate between us.”
Seeing the joy in her voice when she talked about that 'Shi Lang', Yu Wan didn't want to dampen her spirits, so she could only gently remind her, "If that day really comes, that would be wonderful."
"But marriage is a serious matter that requires careful consideration. If you have any difficulties, please feel free to tell me."
Perhaps it was because she had suddenly lost everyone in her family that Su Qingchan was so eager to find someone to rely on.
However, Yu Wan still had a feeling that the appearance of this "Shi Lang" was too strange.
After returning to the Yun family that evening, she mentioned the matter to Yun Shang.
Yun Shang frowned slightly. "I'll go and inquire about it tomorrow."
Seeing that he agreed, Yu Wan's furrowed brows immediately relaxed.
She trusted Yun Shang to handle things.
After finishing talking about Su Qingchan, Yu Wan looked longingly at Yun Shang, who was sitting behind the desk, her eyes sparkling.
That thing from last time... it was only halfway done.
Yun Shang's dark eyes narrowed.
He seemed not to understand Yu Wan's meaning, and lowered his head with a normal expression. He picked up a document from the side and said in a calm voice, "Yu Niang, I still have some official business to attend to. You should go back and rest first."
But his other hand, which was resting on his knee, suddenly clenched into a fist.
Seeing Yun Shang's expression, Yu Wan chuckled and cursed him inwardly for being a hypocrite.
She had no intention of leaving, and slowly walked around to Yun Shang's back.
She gently placed her hands on his shoulders and said softly, "Husband, you are busy with official duties all day long. You should take a break. You can't ruin your health."
As she spoke, she gently massaged Yun Shang's shoulder with her fingers.
Yun Shang stiffened slightly, and the document in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.
A thin layer of red appeared on the porcelain-white ear tips.
He tried to appear calm, but his fingers, gripping the document tightly, turned white from the force, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
His clear, cool voice trembled slightly. "This official business is really important. I need to submit it to my superior tomorrow, so I have to finish it as soon as possible."
"is it?"
Yu Wan smiled, then walked around to Yun Shang's side, placed her hands on the desk, leaned forward, and met Yun Shang's eyes.
The two were very close, and Yu Wan's breath gently brushed against Yun Shang's cheek.
"Then I'll stay and keep you company?"
Yun Shang's breathing became erratic, and his chest rose and fell slightly.
Startled by her sudden action, a flicker of panic crossed his dark eyes, and he awkwardly looked away.
"No need, you should go and rest first."
He tried his best to maintain a calm expression, but his slightly trembling voice betrayed his inner turmoil.
Seeing him like this, Yu Wan felt both annoyed and amused.
She decided to go all the way and gently sat on Yun Shang's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"It's too cold in the room, I can't warm the bed by myself."
"Why don't you sleep with me for a while first?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of allure. Her breath gently brushed against Yun Shang's ear, making his ear tips burn even hotter.
Yun Shang completely lost his composure, and the document in his hand fell to the ground with a "thud".
He instinctively placed his hands on Yu Wan's waist, but then quickly let go as if he had been electrocuted.
I am torn between my conscience and my desires.
Yu Wan has become increasingly bold and enthusiastic lately, and he is really finding it hard to keep up.
Yun Shang's Adam's apple bobbed as he tried to suppress the surging emotions within him.
His gaze fell on Yu Wan's face, which was so close to his own, and seeing the mischievousness and smile in her eyes, his breathing became heavier.
“Yu Niang…”
Yun Shang spoke with difficulty, his voice hoarse as if it had been sanded, carrying a hint of unspeakable forbearance.
He had promised the Duchess of Anguo that he must keep his promise.
Yun Shang felt that he had used up all the self-control he had ever had in his life.
He held Yu Wan's waist, his movements gentle yet firm, as he lowered her off his lap.
He turned his head away, not daring to look into Yu Wan's eyes again, afraid that he would lose control if he looked at her for even one more time.
"It's an urgent matter, you should go back and rest."
Yu Wan didn't expect him to be so patient.
A sense of unease crept into his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder if Yun Shang really had a problem in that area.
She couldn't help but wonder if Yun Shang really had a problem in that area.
Otherwise, how could he leave his beautiful wife doing nothing?
……
In the following days, Su Qingchan continued to frequently go out to meet with 'King Ming'.
Yu Wan did not go out that day. Not long after having breakfast, she heard from a servant of the Yun family that someone wanted to see her.
Yu Wan was wondering who wanted to see her, but she understood after meeting the person.
It was Yun Shang who arranged for someone to secretly keep an eye on Su Qingchan.
Yu Wan dismissed everyone around her, and the newcomer said in a low voice, "Madam, the Su family's daughter has been seeing Prince Yong these days."
Prince Yong?!
Yu Wan's expression changed drastically.
A flicker of astonishment and disbelief crossed his eyes.
How did Su Qingchan end up with Prince Yong? Su Mu and her father died because of Prince Yong.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Prince Yong and Su Qingchan had a blood feud!
What exactly is Su Qingchan thinking?
Yu Wan almost felt like her brain wasn't working properly.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down before asking, "Did you find out what they did and said when they met?"
“Prince Yong showered the Su family girl with sweet words and did everything he could to please her, winning her heart. Every time they met, Prince Yong would praise the Su family girl for her outstanding appearance and talent, and he would often give her exquisite little gifts.”
Yu Wan lowered her eyes and suddenly thought of something.
Su Qingchan was clearly telling her that the man she was meeting was the "tenth" in his family, and she called him Shilang.
Could it be that Su Qingchan didn't know he was the Prince of Yong?!
