Su Qiao picked up the invitation again and said apologetically, "Something came up unexpectedly, so I can't go with you today. Maybe next time!"
"Oh."
Ye Lihan felt a little disappointed, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Su Qiao waved the invitation. "Aren't you going to ask what I'm going to do?"
Ye Lihan shook his head and reminded her, "The contract makes it very clear. Aside from necessary occasions, neither of us is allowed to interfere with the other."
Su Qiao nodded naturally. "All right! You're right."
"However, although that's what the contract says, I'm in the wrong this time, so I should still explain a little."
"I'm going to attend a poetry gathering today. Several well-known scholars will be there, and they have considerable influence among the literary circles."
Ye Lihan said indifferently, "You don't need to explain this to me, and you don't need to worry about my feelings. As long as you don't violate the contract, you can do whatever you want."
"Fine, then I'll be leaving. Go back and get some proper rest."
Su Qiao didn't say anything more. After speaking crisply, she left with Mu Jin.
After they left, Li Jue hurriedly said, "Prince Ye, The King went because she was invited by Shang Shuheng, the son of Prime Minister Shang. How could you let her go?"
"What if something happens between them? What will you do then?"
Ye Lihan's expression stiffened for an instant, but he quickly composed himself.
"What would I do?"
"My relationship with your King is nothing more than a transaction. She can do whatever she likes. What does it have to do with me?"
This had all been agreed upon from the beginning. It was nothing serious.
Although he kept warning himself of this, Ye Lihan couldn't deny
