Chapter 37: Lack of Desire
Her clothes, movements and expressions have already told him her heart’s desire.
Nangong Rou walked over step by step, she appeared charming, alluring and with an attractive smile on her face, and she eagerly leaned her soft body into Chu Xuanchen’s arms. “Chen, tonight, let me take care of you, okay?”
It was indeed a beauty that had fallen into his embrace; however he is not showing any feeling or excitement for her.
And it was at this time when there was a sudden disturbance in his heart as if it was whispering Yun Ruoyue’s voice to him. Chu Xuanchen, don’t you have eyes to see? Or is it because you have a crooked heart? She was clearly fed me with rotten food, didn’t you see it? You are just blindly accepting her!
When he thought of Yun Ruoyue again, his expression changed; his face clouded over as he contemplated. Do I still have eyes? I knew and discernible everything but I wouldn’t give her a fair trial because she is the enemy’s daughter.
At the same time, he also didn’t understand why his mind unconsciously flashes the images of Yun Ruoyue’s angry and strong-willed eyes, especially her face that appeared on that night and it flickered incessantly in his brain.
Whenever he thought of her; he felt something clutching his heart which made him lose interest and lack of desire to go on with Nangong Rou.
Chu Xuanchen lowered his head and looked at the woman that leaned on his chest. Initially, this woman was modest and polite, gentle and kind, but right now he had learned that she was eventually a two-faced woman and with such a thought, his heart instantly turned cold.
He shut his eyes and sighed inwardly. When he opened his eyes again, he said, “Rou’er, something came to mind that there was left unfinished military matters and I have to return to the workplace. I’m afraid to say that I can’t stay overnight.” Chu Xuanchen didn’t wait for her reply; he broke free of her arms gently and turned away to get out of bed.
Nangong Rou was unable to comprehend the situation and she stared at him dumbfounded. She frowned and asked, “Your Highness, must you do it by tonight?”
“Yes, you go to bed first and don’t wait for me. When I’m done, I’ll come over to see you.” Chu Xuanchen said in a flat voice, he stood up and walked to the door without looking back.
“Your Highness..” As he walked away, she wanted to run after him but she froze at the spot when she saw his departing figure.
His departing back was cold and indifferent.
Nangong Rou’s body shook and she slumped down to the ground as if her body was made of mud and tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Miss, what’s wrong? Don’t be sad, probably His Highness gets tied up with work. He would definitely come over once finished.” Dan’er’s eyebrows lowered and knit together when she saw Madame cry.
Nangong Rou clenched her hands, she said through gritted teeth, “That can’t be, he had never treated me like this before and he always put me first before work. No matter how busy he is, he will find time for me. But these days, he was using work as an excuse to avoid the subject of consummation with me. I wonder what’s wrong with him. Could it be that he had a change of heart?”
“Miss, you are thinking too much. This servant and other maidservants can clearly see in our eyes that the prince doted upon you. Moreover, he was a man of devoted disposition, how could he possibly change his heart?” Dan’er tried to pacify.
When Nangong Rou heard the words, she shook her head, “You aren’t me, you won’t understand. My intuition was telling me that he was reluctant to touch me. Before this, I really can feel his deep affection and at one time he had an almost irresistible impulse to want me. He even said that he wanted to marry me sooner so he could have me earlier as his woman. And now when there’s chance arrives in front of him, yet he doesn’t want me anymore.” She sniffled quietly as she spoke; her tears falling like a broken string of beads.
Dan’er felt a pain in her heart when she saw Nangong Rou cried, “Miss, the prince loves you so much, it was impossible for him to have a change of heart so fast. Perhaps, he was really busy on something, or else, why don’t you find a chance and ask him directly?”
“How could I bring myself to ask him this kind of embarrassing question? Dan’er, do you think he’s attracted to Yun Ruoyue therefore not interested into me?” Yun Ruoyue was beautiful after all, and she was more beautiful than her. Hence, this may deduce an explanation to what was going on. (Pease read original translation from cloudmanor.wordpress.com)
“How is this possible? The prince loathes the princess so much, how can he be attracted to her? Miss, you are the number one beauty in Chu kingdom; you must have confidence in yourself. Yet, I must admit it is a fact that the princess consort has become beautiful, I don’t think she was as beautiful as you. Besides, the prince couldn’t care less about her, obviously that you have been thinking too much.”
“I hope what you said is true.” Nangong Rou appeared to be sad and low-spirited in her voice.
Quickly afterwards, her eyes turned ruthless when she began to ponder. I must find out what is going on with him and why is he changing his attitude towards me? I have a hunch that this problem has something to do with Yun Ruoyue.
