Chapter 1260 Belated Heartbeat (3)

Such eyes...

Xia Su's heart "beat" twice faster, his thoughts drifted far, far away...

That year, the woman in front of him was not yet 20 years old. In order to avoid the harm of his uncle, he went to China to study under an assumed name, and did not tell anyone. He knew that his uncle Beitang was also in S City, and he knew that he would not harm him, but he did not tell him.

In fact, his temperament has not changed much, but he was young at that time, and the blood in his heart was still warm. Although it was cold, his heart was not as cold and hard as it is now.

He didn't remember clearly what it was like when he first met Mu Zhilan. After all, so many years have passed. Occasionally, he dreamed at midnight, and the figure in the dream overlapped with the woman in front of him, exactly the same.

She was the most gentle and graceful woman he had ever met in his life. Although he had not been close to women in these years, he had seen many women of all kinds, but they were still not as good as her.

The point is that she loved him with her heart back then.

However, love is not needed by a man born in a royal family. Although he loved her, was attracted and moved by her, her status was not important. Although she was the supreme being in S City, she was nothing in R Country.

Unless he was willing to give up his inheritance and never return to R Country.

But he was obsessed with how to obtain the inheritance, so how could he give it up?

Rather than taking her back and not being able to marry her, it would be better to leave without saying goodbye.

If you ask him if he regrets it now, and ask him a hundred times, his answer will be no. It’s not that he is greedy for the kingship, but that some people are born with their own responsibilities and missions.

And the mission and responsibility he carries are destined to be isolated from love.

Seeing that the man didn’t answer her question for a long time, Mu Zhilan didn’t urge him. She just stayed quietly aside, looking at the clouds hanging high in the blue sky with her beautiful eyes.

Xia Su tilted his head and looked at the woman beside him. She was beautiful, quiet, and indifferent... She was different from all the women he had met. She was still the same as he remembered.

"Yina went to see you, right?"

Xia Su followed her gaze and looked at the unknown blue sky.

Yina...

That princess, that's what she was asking. Mu Zhilan retracted her gaze and sat down by the window. Her voice was as soft as usual. "We did meet, but how could I trouble a princess to come to my house in person? Your princess probably wanted to see Chen'er, and I just happened to be there."

Mu Zhilan said lightly. She had no intention of criticizing others, and she didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.

Xia Su also retracted his gaze and glanced at the woman sitting elegantly beside him. Facing such a woman, his voice seemed to be cold and hard, "That's it. If she causes trouble for you, you can tell me at any time."

Mu Zhilan smiled lightly, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Your Majesty is overthinking. It was Your Majesty who took my son away without saying a word. I just came to see if he was safe. I will stay in your country for a few days and then go back. The princess and I have no grudges recently or in the past. We have no intersection at all. How can I cause trouble?"

Mu Zhilan said, her beautiful eyes moved for a while, and she looked at Xia Su lightly, "I would like to ask Your Majesty, since my son is unwilling to come to your country, and even more unwilling to be the heir of your country, why do you have to force him? Your country is full of talents. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Why do you embarrass him?"
