Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 475

Chapter 475: A Disconnect Still Remains

Chu Qingchuan was suddenly left stunned. Why did she feel that way?

Yu Wuhen was obviously an uggo, and yet it felt like a bucket of cold water had abruptly extinguished the wild flames in her heart.

She cracked a faint smile, then turned her head and ignored Yu Wuhen.

Yu Wuhen subtly furrowed his brows for a second, before turning his head and didn’t say another word.

For a moment there, the atmosphere was a little sullen and awkward.

Chu Qingchuan clenched her fists and said, “Milord, let’s go inside and eat some desserts. I’m hungry now.”

Yu Wuhen replied with a flat “mmm”, then spun around and stepped inside the boat.

Chu Qingchuan sensed that she was being given the cold shoulder, as she followed him.

But she couldn’t resist but distance herself from Yu Wuhen, whenever she remembered that he was ugly. It’s not like she could help it…

With that said, Yu Wuhen was really sensitive.

He ignored her because of her emotionless expression just now. How annoying!

Whatever! Today, she would have the perfect opportunity to run away. She must think of a plan on how to escape.

With that very thought, Chu Qingchuan swept a glance at the surrounding path and secretly clenched her fists.

Sitting opposite Yu Wuhen, Chu Qingchuan felt speechless. Although she knew that she wouldn’t fall in love with that uggo Yu Wuhen, her body couldn’t help but want to lean on him.

She was only able to stop herself from press her body on to his was by clenching his hands.

She drearily picked up a piece of cake and swallowed it whole.

*Huk huk huk…* All of a suddenly, she started to cough unexpectedly.

Yu Wuhen hurriedly got up, patted Chu Qingchuan’s back, then picked up a cup of water and helped her take a sip.

Within seconds, Chu Qingchuan stroked her chest and felt a lot better.

Yu Wuhen pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the cake off the corner of Chu Qingchuan’s face.

Chu Qingchuan looked up at the serious look in Yu Wuhen’s eyes. She couldn’t catch any emotions in his eyes but she could feel his affections for her.

After Yu Wuhen finished wiping the cake clean off the corner of Chu Qingchuan’s mouth, he looked up. And in that instant, their eyes met.

Yu Wuhen could no longer hold that serious look on his face, and without realizing it, a tender smile formed. Earlier, he was mad at Chuchu for distancing herself from him, but in that very moment, he saw the charming smile on her little face and his anger disappeared.

The two of them fell deeply infatuated with one another. Every terrible thing that happened in the past floated away in the wind, and all that was left deep down inside was happiness and sweetness.

After a while, Chu Qingchuan suddenly thought about Yu Wuhen’s ugly face again and turned her head uncontrollably away.

Yu Wuhen’s face suddenly turned gloomy again. So, what he felt just now was a figment of his imagination.

Chuchu never fell for him.

But then, how could she explain their lovemaking for the past few days?

Was it just the body’s natural instincts?

But… something wasn’t right.

Yu Wuhen didn’t quite understand. He narrowed his enigmatic eyes and sat back in his seat. Then, he threw the handkerchief into the basket beside him, and continued to drink tea and admire the scenery.

The scenery was undoubtedly, shockingly beautiful but it didn’t help to lift his spirits.

He accidentally glanced over at Chu Qingchuan but only noticed that her elegant brows were slightly furrowed. Whilst she ate desserts, her gaze was fixated forward as if something was on her mind.

Yu Wuhen’s heart suddenly felt even more stifled. He wasn’t sure when Chuchu’s every move and mood affected him.

He always had a horrible feeling that Chuchu would leave him one day and he would never see her again.

Although he had ninety something ladies in waiting, they were gifted to him by his business partners. He never treated them wholeheartedly.

Because those ladies might one day backstab him.

However, Chuchu was different. She was like a gift from the heavens. God let his servants capture her in his firewood shed and send her to his bed.

He believed in destiny and he believed that Chuchu was the only love of his life.

But… Chuchu didn’t seem to like him.
