Silent Lover (The Silent Concubine) - Chap 128
Chapter 128 – This King Doesn’t Want to See You Anymore
With great anticipation, Jun Xuanxiao felt all the waiting was worth it when he saw Shen Yu’s figure. He came, which meant he still had feelings…
But what he received was a cold congratulation.
Jun Xuanxiao’s heart plummeted from joy to despair.
“Is this the only thing you wanted to tell this king? A hundred years of happiness? Hm?”
Jun Xuanxiao’s tone and expression were full of disappointment and surprise.
Shen Yu gently shook his head and gestured with his hands, “I also brought a gift, which shows my sincere congratulations to Your Highness…”
Shen Yu presented a gift box, with the word “happiness” pasted on it with red paper, which he cut out last night.
Jun Xuanxiao didn’t take it for a long time, so Shen Yu had to place it in his hand.
“Your Highness, please don’t disdain my humble gift.” Shen Yu gestured with his hands, “If Your Highness doesn’t even look at it, it would waste my good intentions. ‘Mountain, and. Water, evening.’”
The small box seemed to weigh a thousand pounds in Jun Xuanxiao’s hand. He didn’t open it; he already knew it contained the dragon-shaped jade pendant, the only thing he had given to Shen Yu that was still with him…
Bang!
The sound of the gift box hitting the ground was followed by the sharp and clear sound of the jade pendant shattering on the stone bricks.
His breathing became heavy as he suppressed his sinister aura. He asked in a halting voice, “What do you mean? Do you want to return the last bit of thing to this king, so that we’re no longer indebted to each other?”
Shen Yu’s fingers moved slightly, then he squatted down and picked up the jade fragments scattered around. The sharp pieces cut him, making him bleed, but he seemed unaware and methodically found the last piece near the flower bed, placing them back in Jun Xuanxiao’s hand.
“Returning to the owner.”
Shen Yu finished his gestures without any further explanation. The jade pendant should have been returned earlier. It was a gift from the Northern Warlord but became his nightmare. Now, like the Linglong dice, it was shattered by Jun Xuanxiao, making things even.
“Your Highness…”
A timid female voice sounded from behind Jun Xuanxiao. Shen Ruofei had been watching from the bridal chamber for a long time, wanting to see how the Northern Warlord and Shen Yu would break up. However, Jun Xuanxiao hadn’t lost his temper, making her angry.
Shen Ruofei’s eyes flashed with venomous hate. Shen Yu dared to come and seduce the prince on her wedding night, ruining her special night. How could she let this little scoundrel spoil it?
“Why are you out here?”
Jun Xuanxiao was displeased and felt obstructed.
Shen Ruofei, clever as always, said in a coquettish voice, “I thought Your Highness was drunk… It’s actually Young Master Shen. Thank you for the gift. Today is our wedding day. I wanted to invite Young Master Shen for a drink, but I feared he might be shy. I didn’t expect him to come himself.”
Shen Yu smiled, understanding her underlying meaning of calling him shameless for coming to pester Jun Xuanxiao on her wedding night.
In the past, Shen Yu’s meek nature would not argue, but seeing Shen Ruofei’s proud face, he suddenly felt a wicked sense of humor.
“I’m here first, so naturally I must congratulate the later arrival. You should get used to it; maybe in two or three months, you’ll be congratulating another concubine with me. Who knows when the Northern Warlord, who loves new things, will marry again?”
After Shen Yu finished gesturing, Shen Ruofei’s face visibly stiffened. She turned pale but dared not react, pretending not to understand.
“Your Highness, what is Young Master Shen gesturing? I don’t understand,” Shen Ruofei said pitifully, “Have I done something to displease Young Master Shen? I know he dislikes me for taking away Your Highness, boo hoo…”
Shen Ruofei dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, but it remained dry. She glared at Shen Yu with hate, cursing him in her heart: You’re just the prince’s old flame. What’s so arrogant about that? Now, I’m the prince’s new love!
“Enough!”
Jun Xuanxiao, fed up with their bickering, couldn’t bear it and roared to stop them.
Shen Yu glanced at Jun Xuanxiao, who looked cold and displeased. He took a step forward, lowering his head slightly to stare at himself. Shen Yu felt the pressure but raised his eyes, unyielding.
“When did you become so harsh?” Jun Xuanxiao coldly said.
Harsh? Am I supposed to be weak and incompetent, enduring Shen Ruofei’s ridicule? If I don’t appear pitiful, am I the harsh one?
Shen Yu clenched his fists, dispelling the cold in his heart. If he could speak, he would laugh out loud.
“Forgive me, Your Highness, for making your bride cry,” Shen Yu gestured.
Jun Xuanxiao’s brow twitched, showing the effort to suppress his anger.
“Leave. This king doesn’t want to see you again!”
Jun Xuanxiao turned abruptly, showing no emotion. He closed his eyes, calming himself, unaware of when Shen Yu left. He didn’t mean to say those words, but anger took over, and he blurted it out seeing Shen Yu’s indifference…
Seeing Jun Xuanxiao drive Shen Yu away, Shen Ruofei couldn’t help but smile and took Jun Xuanxiao’s arm.
“Your Highness, it’s getting late. Let’s go back to the bridal chamber and rest.”
Jun Xuanxiao suddenly shook her off and sternly said, “Do you really think you’re this king’s concubine? Get lost!”
