Chapter 45 Who is the adopted son?
The Empress and His Majesty, who also received the news, were so worried that they were speechless.
What's wrong with my daughter's taste?
There was a man named Bai Zhiyu who, relying on his daughter's affection, bragged about it everywhere and didn't take his daughter's sincerity seriously.
Then there was Su Chen, who was good in every way except that his family background was not very good. Although his spiritual power was not high, he was a good match for his daughter.
Unexpectedly, just as the contract was about to be concluded, the head of the Su family fell critically ill. While conducting research at the research institute, Su Chen himself suffered a mental injury due to a mistake caused by the medication, causing his mental strength to drop directly from A to D!
What should we do?!
A pink hovercar tore through the night and sped out of the palace.
Jiang Ting sat in the driver's seat, a cold light shining down on his sharply defined profile.
Jiang Zhixia tried to contact Su Chen using her personal terminal to ask where he was, but apart from his initial reply, "I'm fine, Princess, don't worry," he never responded again.
She bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry.
Jiang Ting glanced at her sideways and sighed inwardly.
She just sent Lu Jue away, and now, in the middle of the night, she's dragging a female to find her fiancé.
Jiang Zhixia was actually a little embarrassed.
She had originally planned to sneak out on her own.
The hovercar was already halfway started when there was a knock on the window.
Jiang Ting stood outside the car, raising an eyebrow slightly: "Where to?"
She hesitated and said she wanted to see Su Chen.
Jiang Ting paused for three seconds, then opened the passenger door and got in: "I'll give you a ride."
So the two set off together.
The hovercar slowly descended in front of the Su family's gate.
Jiang Ting raised his chin: "His location is here."
Su Chen had just submitted the application to annul the engagement. If he wanted to, unlocking the permissions and using the quantum computer to locate him would be an easy task.
Jiang Zhixia: ...Big brother, your behavior is really perverted.
She jumped off the hovercar and pushed open the gate of the Su family home.
We walked all the way in, but didn't see a single ghost.
The Su family home is almost empty.
Jiang Ting led her deeper into the courtyard and stopped in front of a door where light was shining through.
Jiang Ting said calmly, "He's inside. I'm going to check on the Su family head. You can go."
He considerately gave her and her fiancé space to be together.
Jiang Zhixia gave him a grateful look and pushed the door open to go inside.
Su Chen did reply to Jiang Zhixia.
Rather, he simply ran out of energy.
He had calculated in advance how to precisely control the dosage of the drug, to what extent his mental strength would drop without dying on the spot.
After taking the medicine, his mental strength felt as if it were being torn apart, crumbling inch by inch.
He waited until the most painful phase in the laboratory passed before he could barely get up, publish the test results, send them to the royal family, and then propose to dissolve the engagement.
...I'm not reconciled.
If only his background wasn't so filthy, his family not so wretched, and he could have met a princess.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing.
The pain from the damage to his mental energy numbed his nerves, and his consciousness became intermittent.
He was taken back to the Su family home by people from the research institute and has been lying down for a whole day.
He has emptied the Su family's coffers. Su Tongwei is barely able to protect herself, and her servants have long been dismissed. The once grand Su family home is now completely empty.
His eyes were half-closed, and his vision was gradually swallowed by darkness.
Just then, a familiar fragrance wafted into my nose.
A light, delicate scent, like a flower blooming in early spring—that was the princess's fragrance.
Hallucination?
"Su Chen? Su Chen, are you alright?"
Jiang Zhixia squatted by the bed, looking at his pale face and closed eyes, her heart sank.
"I'll contact a therapist!"
The moment the quantum computer was raised, it was gently pressed down by a pale, slender hand.
She looked down and met a pair of eyes that were slowly opening.
Su Chen's pupils were somewhat unfocused, and he struggled to concentrate, staring at her intently for a long time.
It was only after a long time that she thought Su Chen hadn't woken up that she heard his hoarse voice.
"Princess, what are you doing here?"
"I rushed over as soon as I heard you were in trouble," Jiang Zhixia frowned. "What happened to you? How could you get yourself into this state while doing research? Besides your mental injuries, are there any other injuries?"
A barrage of questions came at him, but Su Chen just stared at her.
Why?
Why did you rush to see him immediately?
Why would she care whether her fake fiancé lives or dies?
Why are you looking at him with such concern now?
It always makes him have some inappropriate thoughts, and it always makes him greedy.
Su Chen's gaze traced her features, as if trying to etch this face into his last conscious memory.
Jiang Zhixia was taken aback by his question and hurriedly said, "What? Why? Don't say anything yet, I'll call the therapist first!"
She tried to pry the other person's hand off the computer.
Su Chen applied a little more pressure to his hand. "No need to call... I am the healer. I know very well that it's no use anymore."
Jiang Zhixia froze.
She slowly raised her eyes and looked at Su Chen's overly calm face, a guess forming in her mind.
"...Did you do this on purpose?"
Su Chen didn't speak, but just kept his eyes half-closed, tacitly agreeing.
Jiang Zhixia gasped, "Why...why would you hurt yourself?!"
Su Chen's lips even curved into a very faint smile, "This way, dissolving the engagement won't involve the princess."
Jiang Zhixia's breath hitched.
What kind of ridiculous reason is that?!
Why would he need to destroy his mental energy from A to D just to break off an engagement?!
For male orcs, mental strength is incredibly important!
He actually hurt himself so badly!
Jiang Zhixia was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
She underestimated his psychological problems; beneath this man's gentle exterior lay an incredibly resolute nature.
Hearing her silence, Su Chen gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Yeah.
He didn't want to pretend anymore.
It doesn't matter if the princess sees how twisted and monstrous she is beneath her gentle exterior.
Anyway... we won't have any more contact in the future.
There was just one thing that worried him.
I don't know if the princess would still be willing to listen if I said it now.
He tried to sit up, but Jiang Zhixia reached out to support him.
Seeing Su Chen now, she felt a surge of helplessness.
How can she save him?
Su Chen leaned against the wall, his face pale, and habitually revealed a gentle smile.
"Now that the princess has come, she must still consider me a friend, right?"
Jiang Zhixia nodded: "Of course."
"Before you... hate me, I want to tell you something."
Before Jiang Zhixia could understand where the "dislike" came from, she heard his tone suddenly become serious.
"Princess, stay away from your elder brother Jiang Ting."
Jiang Zhixia: "...Huh?"
Seeing her lack of reaction, Su Chen assumed she didn't believe him, so he took a deep breath and continued, "He... He's your brother, you're blood relatives, but he has filthy thoughts about you. I personally witnessed him doing things that a brother shouldn't do to you!"
Jiang Zhixia: "..."
Needless to say, she already knows about this.
But... how did Su Chen know that?
She was confused, but now was not the time to discuss it.
Seeing Su Chen's weak state, she was a little anxious: "Don't worry about me, you're already like this... I'm keeping all the Su family's assets safe and sound. Get well soon, and I'll return them all to you. The damage to your mental strength can't be reversed, but those assets—"
"Those things," Su Chen shook his head, interrupting her helplessly, "I don't want any of those things. If the princess doesn't mind, please accept them."
He raised his eyes, his gaze earnest and sincere: "But you must believe me, for the sake of the fact that I have never hurt you, and keep your distance from your elder brother. He is dangerous."
Just as Jiang Zhixia was about to say something, her eyes darted behind him.
Her expression instantly turned strange, and she stammered, "You, you shouldn't say anything more, just rest..."
Su Chen thought she didn't believe him, so he coughed twice in a panic, clutching his chest, "You have to believe me! He's your own brother, but he has ulterior motives towards you! He's just... cough cough, he's a pervert!"
Jiang Zhixia's eyes darted around, her toes gripping the ground in embarrassment. She hurriedly covered his mouth, pleading, "Stop talking!"
Su Chen was about to continue speaking when a very soft sneer came from behind him.
Jiang Ting leaned against the door frame and walked in leisurely, glancing at him sideways.
"I'm a pervert? What about you?"
Upon hearing this voice, Su Chen instantly composed himself, raised his eyes, and fearlessly met his gaze, gritting his teeth.
"Did I say something wrong? The princess's own brother, Your Highness?"
Jiang Zhixia stood awkwardly between the two, feeling a chill run down her spine.
Ugh... I told you you shouldn't gossip about people behind their backs!
Look, they got caught red-handed!
She was just thinking about how to smooth things over when she suddenly heard Jiang Ting's calm voice.
"I'm not her biological brother."
Jiang Zhixia's scalp tingled, and she abruptly turned to look at Jiang Ting!
Didn't we agree not to tell anyone about this?!
What is he planning? To expose her fake princess identity?!
She looked at Jiang Ting in horror.
Jiang Ting was scrutinizing Su Chen with a cold, indifferent gaze.
"I am an adopted son of the royal family, but regardless of my status, she will always come first. And you? Do you think you can just take the position of the princess's legal husband and throw it away as you please?"
Jiang Zhixia was stunned: "...?"
What?
Who is the adopted son?
What kind of person is Jiang Ting?
She stared at Jiang Ting in shock, her eyes wide open.
Jiang Ting frowned slightly when he met her shocked, almost stunned gaze.
Didn't she already know?
He clearly laid his cards on the table last time.
Why is the female looking like the sky has fallen?
The two looked at each other, one shocked and bewildered, the other confused and puzzled.
