"Miss Su!"
The Prince stared at Su Yunjin, his gaze veiled and unreadable. Just moments ago, Su Yunjin had called out "Husband," words the Prince heard clearly. Her voice carried a distinct joy.
A sound she had never expressed in his presence before.
An inexplicable irritation stirred within the Prince.
Su Yunjin hadn't expected to see the Prince. Startled for a brief moment, Su Yunjin finally spoke, "Master Chu, why is it you?" Her expression was filled with surprise.
"Miss Su, is my appearance here such a surprise to you?" The Prince's eyes deepened as he looked at Su Yunjin, their murky depths unreadable. To him, Su Yunjin felt like a stranger now, her gaze distant and detached.
All of a sudden, the Prince felt as though Su Yunjin, clearly within reach, was separated from him by an insurmountable gulf.
