On the night of the broken engagement, the paranoid prince came to me crying and asking for my statu

Thinking of how his heart almost jumped out when Rong Xian almost hit a rock just now, Su Sui'an's tone was not very good.

"Okay, you're a grown man, stop being a sissy. Seeking death is not the only solution. Isn't it His Highness the Ninth Prince who wants to solve it? I'll help you find a solution."

She patted her chest proudly.

Rong Xian hesitated, "But, what if that is what Prince Dingbei also meant?"

The smile on Su Sui'an's lips twisted.

Rong Xian looked like he was about to cry. "Prince Dingbei has always loved his cousin, the Ninth Prince. He sent the land deed to show his attitude. Girl, I can't let you get into trouble."

Prince of Dingbei?

Su Sui'an raised his eyebrows slightly.

Even the look he gave Rong Xian began to become somewhat inquiring.

Is it a coincidence?

Rong Xian saw Su Sui'an's serious face and thought that Su Sui'an didn't want to help him, so he stood up again and walked towards the big tree. As he walked, he muttered to himself, "It's just a matter of death..."

"Shut up."

Hearing that Rong Xian wanted to commit suicide again, Su Sui'an didn't bother to investigate the connection.

"It's not like I won't help you. Just stop talking about 'die or die' all the time. If you keep trying to kill yourself, I'll pull out your tongue."

A hint of grievance flashed across the boy's eyes.

Su Sui'an realized that his reaction was once again out of control.

He touched his nose irritably and softened his voice.

"Alright, alright, let's go back and discuss this. Anyway, I said before that I would help you, so I won't go back on my word. Now that you have thought it through, I will help you. Don't try to commit suicide at every turn."

After saying that, she pushed Rong Xian back.

But Rong Xian just stood there like a wooden stake, unmoved, "How do you want to help, girl?"

His voice was lower than usual, and there was worry in his tone.

Su Sui'an knew that if she didn't give him a satisfactory answer, she could only save him once, but not twice or three times.

In the past, Su Sui'an would have kicked Rong Xian away when he was harassed by him like he was playing tricks on others.

But...

Forget it, he is just an innocent boy, how could he have any bad intentions?

"If you want to make the Ninth Prince give up, I have a way..."

Before she could finish her words, Rong Xian's eyes, which were filled with despair, were suddenly filled with hope.

"any solution?"

Unexpectedly, the boy's reaction was so strong. Su Sui'an seemed to have made a great decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want this face, I will cancel the engagement with Duke Gu's Mansion, and you will marry into my Su Mansion."

"No."

Without thinking, Rong Xian refused directly.

It was not known whether he was ashamed or angry, but his handsome face turned red under the moonlight.

"Lifelong affairs require mutual affection. How can we make rash decisions based on our emotions?"

Wow, you've made progress. You two actually love each other.

In the current situation, how can she find someone who is in love with him?

Besides...

"You and I are not in love, so we can't be real husband and wife. Right now, I'm just helping you avoid the limelight. Of course, this favor is not for nothing. You must help me continue to manage the accounts of the mansion. Do you understand?"

Seeing Rong Xian's slowly dimming gaze, Su Sui'an asked again, "What do you think now?"

Rong Xian shook his head in annoyance.

"I don't know either."

Su Sui'an sighed, "When you came to Beijing to look for your relatives, didn't you ever think about how ostentatious your face was?"

Rong Xian muttered quietly, "I didn't expect my cousin to be so capable."

His voice was low, as if he was speaking to himself.

Su Sui'an had excellent hearing and heard his words clearly, but he did not expose him. He just looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "I saw that you seemed to enjoy the kindness of the Ninth Prince to you before. Do you really not like the Ninth Prince?"

Under the moonlight, the boy's eyes turned red again.

Not sure if it was because of shame or because Su Sui'an's question was too embarrassing, but at this moment, he pursed his lips, opened his mouth slightly, and finally forced out a sentence, "If Miss Su doesn't want to help me, just tell me clearly that you want to give up. Why do you have to say such words to humiliate me?"

Because of anger, his body was shaking slightly, and he stared at Su Sui'an with red eyes, as if Su Sui'an was the unfaithful man who had taken advantage of him.

In the past, Rong Xian always looked gentle and had no temper. No matter how others teased him, he would just smile shyly.

This was the first time that Su Sui'an saw such a "vivid" Rong Xian in front of him.

A strange feeling once again surged from the bottom of Su Sui'an's heart.

The words that were about to be asked became tentative, "If you really don't like His Highness the Ninth Prince that much, what's wrong with marrying into my Su family?"

As soon as he said this, Su Sui'an regretted it when he saw Rong Xian's excited face.

"Okay, okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

Su Sui'an raised his hand and made a downward pressing motion, "Don't get excited, don't get excited..."

Before she could finish her words, her hands were already tightly grasped by another pair of big hands.

Looking at the usually slender hand that was actually one-third larger than his own, Su Sui'an's gaze kept switching between Rong Xian's face and Rong Xian's hand.

The boy's face became redder and redder. Su Sui'an could even feel a heat spreading from the palm of his hand to hers. Su Sui'an immediately pulled her hand back as if burned by fire.

"You...your hands are so hot." She explained, which was better than nothing.

He was almost humiliated tonight and was trying to commit suicide. Su Sui'an was really worried that he would be angered to death by her accidentally.

Just as she was about to say something to comfort him, Rong Xian spoke before her.

"Nothing happens more than three times. Miss Su has proposed twice that I marry into the Su family. This shows that Miss Su is really sincere in wanting to help me. If I refuse again, it would seem that I am a little ungrateful."

Sincerity?

Does she have it?

Su Sui'an laughed awkwardly twice, but then he heard Rong Xian continue to speak, "I have already been so rude in front of the young lady tonight. I wonder if I can still have the honor of asking for a favor from Miss Su?"

His eyes were so eager that Su Sui'an couldn't say a word of refusal for a moment.

Admittedly, her suggestion to let Rong Xian marry into her family was just an impulse, and she also said other things to make up for it later.

But if you think about it carefully, you don't dislike Rong Xian. Your father is about to return to the court, and if her marriage with Duke Gu's mansion is cancelled, your marriage will sooner or later be targeted by others again...

Instead of this, it would be better to do as her mother said and find someone she doesn't dislike, who is of low status and easy to control, to marry.

Although she could not give the other person a true status, she would never treat him unfairly.

In this way, even if Rong Xian meets the girl he likes and wants to divorce her later, she can use the previous inappropriate marriage as an excuse, saying that she has seen through the world, wants to live alone, and will never marry again.

As for the future...

"girl..."

A timid call interrupted Su Sui'an's wild thoughts.

When Su Sui'an came back to her senses, she met a pair of eyes that were so affectionate that they almost drowned her. Her heart shuddered and she became completely sober.

He continued the topic he had been talking about before he was distracted, "Ah...ah? Grace? I can't really say grace. Just tell me, what do you want? As long as I can do it, I'll help you this time."
