Capítulo 1693: Chapter 1694 Cruel
“Master!” Upon discovering that King Chu was injured, two people immediately leaped over simultaneously. Both were King Chu’s subordinates, and one of them was recognized by Su Yunjin as the man who intended to abduct her from the Gu Family that day. King Chu’s right shoulder was stabbed, perhaps the man in black hadn’t anticipated injuring King Chu, but in an instant, a look of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he attempted another assassination of King Chu.
This time, King Chu was prepared. Before the man in black’s knife could reach him, he grabbed Su Yunjin and dodged aside. Su Yunjin steadied her footing and saw King Chu’s blood gushing out again. Frightened, she hurriedly said, “Brother Chu, leave quickly! You’re injured; don’t worry about me. Leave now, your wound needs immediate attention, you cannot use the sword any longer.” The wound on King Chu’s shoulder would be further aggravated by using the sword, leading to more blood loss.
Su Yunjin did not want King Chu to be injured for her and did not want to owe him any more favors. King Chu’s intentions towards her were clear. Su Yunjin did not like King Chu, nor would she respond to King Chu in any manner. Today King Chu was already injured saving her, asking him to leave was both for his health and to avoid further entanglement with him.
After speaking, Su Yunjin realized King Chu was staring at her motionlessly, mockery in his eyes. “Miss Su, are you so eager for me to leave?” A sarcastic curve formed at the corner of his mouth, forcing Su Yunjin back a few steps, like an injured lone wolf. “To rid yourself of me, can’t you bear to stay with me even for a moment?”
Perhaps because too much blood had flowed from King Chu’s shoulder, his tone grew weaker, and his once handsome face turned ashen pale, devoid of any color.
“Ugh—!” After speaking, perhaps due to fire stirring his heart, King Chu vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. Frightened, Su Yunjin hurriedly supported him with her hand. “Brother Chu, you are injured, stop talking, I will now check your pulse.” Su Yunjin knew medicine; she grabbed King Chu’s wrist, but King Chu looked at her mockingly and pushed her away forcefully.
Su Yunjin looked at King Chu in astonishment, “Brother Chu, you—?” King Chu stared fixedly at Su Yunjin, causing her to panic unconsciously. “Miss Su, I ask you one question, answer me truthfully.” This was the question King Chu had wanted to ask her all along. When he met Su Yunjin, she was already married, eliminating any possibility from the start. If she had not been married when he met her, or if he had met her first, would that man not have had the chance? Wouldn’t it have been him by her side, not anyone else?
“Miss Su, have you ever loved me?” King Chu looked at Su Yunjin, his gaze hopeful yet tense. Su Yunjin hadn’t expected King Chu to ask her such a question at this moment. Looking at his pale face and the robe stained red from saving her, although Su Yunjin knew that saying such a thing to King Chu now was cruel, she still shook her head while gazing at him, “Brother Chu, I’m sorry. You are kind, but I’ve never loved you. At most, I consider you a friend.”
The hope and expectation in King Chu’s eyes gradually grew cold, his gaze dimming. Su Yunjin dared not give King Chu any hope. Perhaps now these words seemed cruel to him, but if she didn’t speak, he would only fall deeper. Since she ultimately couldn’t offer King Chu hope, it would be better to be cruel now.
