Chapter 240 The Legend of Zhen Huan Original Female Lead 23
At this moment, his eyes were full of concern and worry, without any of his usual coldness and majesty.
As their eyes met, time seemed to stand still. The chirping of birds and the buzzing of insects around them disappeared, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats, clear and rapid.
Chu Huan's heart was beating so hard that it seemed to burst out of her throat. She tried to push Yin Zhen away in panic, but he held her tightly, making her unable to move.
"You...you let me go!" Her voice was as thin as a mosquito, her cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and even her ears were tinged with a faint pink.
Yinzhen looked at the shy woman in his arms, and a strong desire for possession surged in his heart. He couldn't help but lower his head and wanted to kiss those tempting red lips.
At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere between the two.
"Master! That..."
Chu Huan suddenly pushed Yinzhen away, hurriedly tidied her clothes and hair, and hid behind a big tree like a frightened deer.
Yinzhen was interrupted by this sudden voice, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.
He turned his head abruptly, looking at the newcomer with sharp eyes, and almost squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Mr. Su! You! Best! Have! Something! Got! Done!"
Su Peisheng was an old man who had served Yinzhen since he was a child, and he knew his temper and character very well.
Seeing his unfriendly expression, she secretly complained in her heart, but she did not dare to delay, so she had to bite the bullet and step forward to report in a low voice: "Master, Empress Hua came to the Yangxin Palace after you left, saying that she wanted to invite you to have dinner together."
"No!" Yinzhen refused without thinking.
His mind and eyes were now filled with the shy and lovely Chu Huan in his arms, so he had no time to care about Concubine Hua.
"But……"
"If she wants to see me so much, let her wait at the gate of the Yangxin Palace! Tell her that I have important matters to deal with!" After finally sneaking out of the palace, how could Yinzhen go back at this time.
Concubine Hua took advantage of her high position to deliberately bully Shen Meiyu some time ago, so this should be considered a lesson for her.
Besides, it’s time for the Nian family to disband!
After Su Peisheng left, Yinzhen hurried to find Chu Huan, who had hidden herself away out of shame.
"Huan'er, please come out. Everyone has left."
Yinzhen walked behind the tree and immediately saw Chu Hua, who had her head shrunk, her arms clasped, and the words "I'm invisible" written all over her body.
He couldn't help laughing and reached out and gently pulled her arm.
"Ah!" Chu Huan was startled and jumped out suddenly.
"You...what do you want to do again?"
"I just want to have a good talk with you, okay?" Yinzhen smiled helplessly and did not admit that he was indeed peeking at her.
"No!" Chu Hua refused without even thinking. She wasn't even thinking clearly at the moment.
Yinzhen hurriedly took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms and handed it to her with a flattering look on his face.
"Huan'er, I don't mean anything else. Here, this is for you. If...if you like it, I have more."
He wanted to say "there are many better ones", but when the words came to his lips, he felt that they were too deliberate, so he had to swallow them back.
Chu Huan looked at the brocade box in front of her and felt it was extremely hot.
This is Yinzhen, the legendary cold-blooded emperor. How could he actually have such a tender side?
How did the attack go so smoothly? She couldn't help but wonder if she had fallen into a trap.
"Don't want it?" Seeing that she was reluctant to take it, Yinzhen frowned slightly, with a barely perceptible sense of loss in his tone.
"No, I just..." Chu Huan hesitated to speak. She couldn't say that she suspected he was setting a trap for her, right?
"Just what?" Yinzhen asked, with a hint of urgency in his tone.
"I just think this gift is too valuable. I can't accept it." Chu Huan lowered her head, not daring to look into his eyes.
As soon as Chu Huan finished speaking, Yinzhen hugged her in his arms.
"Fool," he whispered in her ear.
"As long as you like it, no matter how valuable it is, I will give it to you."
Chu Hua was stunned by his sudden action. She could feel the warmth from his chest and the strong heartbeat, which seemed to be beating against her heart.
She wanted to push him away, but he hugged her tighter.
"Don't move!" His voice was low and hoarse.
"Let me hold you for a while, just a moment."
Chu Hua stopped struggling and let him hold her.
The two of them hugged each other quietly like that, no one spoke, the only sounds were the rustling of leaves in the wind and the sound of each other's heartbeats getting faster and faster.
As the sun sets, the golden afterglow shines on the two of them, as if giving them a layer of warm light.
Chu Huan leaned in his arms, feeling his warm body temperature, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Huan'er. I know you have a grudge against me, but I am sincere to you. If you don't believe me, I am willing to spend my whole life to prove it." Yinzhen gently stroked her hair and said softly.
Chu Huan took a deep breath, feeling the warmth in Yinzhen's arms, her heart gradually softened.
Her hands slowly rose up and wrapped around his waist from the initial helpless resistance, but she made no promises.
"Sir... I... I need time to think about your words. Please give me some time." Chu Hua's voice was trembling a little. Her heart was like a raging storm, difficult to calm down.
"Of course, I'm not in a hurry. I'm willing to wait until the day you are willing to make a commitment."
Yinzhen's tone was gentle but firm; he knew that matters of the heart cannot be rushed.
The two of them were still hugging each other, and the setting sun stretched their shadows long, as if freezing the warmth and love at the moment.
In the setting sun, the lake was sparkling. Yinzhen and Chuhuan sat side by side by the lake. Each of them held a paintbrush and painted the beautiful scenery on paper.
"Huan'er, you paint so well." Yinzhen looked at Chu Huan's painting and exclaimed with a hint of appreciation in his tone.
"Can you draw too?" Chu Hua looked up and asked curiously.
"I know a little bit, but it's far worse than you." Yinzhen smiled modestly.
"Please draw a picture for me." Chu Hua put down her paintbrush and said with a smile.
Yinzhen was choked. He didn't expect Chu Huan to suddenly make such a request.
"What? Don't you want to paint?" Chu Hua asked when she saw that he was silent, with a hint of mischief in her eyes.
"Ahem...of course not. It's just..." Yinzhen coughed dryly and said a little embarrassedly.
"Just what?" Chu Huan found it more and more funny.
"It's just... I'm not good at painting beauties... What if... I don't paint well, don't laugh at me." Yinzhen's eyes were a little vague and he seemed a little embarrassed.
"Pfft. It's okay. It doesn't matter if the painting is not good." Chu Huan was amused by his seriousness. She couldn't imagine that such an outstanding emperor had such a lovely side.
