Oops, the princess is surrounded by the male protagonists

Chapter 550 Have you forgotten that 'little fairy' you once cherished so dearly?

After the kiss, he slowly raised his head. His eyes, which always held a hint of arrogance, were now filled with tears. Like a wronged child, he spoke softly.

“My wife… don’t be angry. Do you know how much I’ve missed you while you’ve been away? I toss and turn at night, unable to sleep, always worried that you might be in danger or that you might be wronged…”

His sudden pitiful appearance brushed against Bai Yuexin like a feather, weakening her original struggle.

Lu Wangyou, who had been standing quietly by the side, walked over to Bai Yue's side.

He didn't try to take her away; instead, he gently leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her smooth forehead, as carefully as if he were handling a rare treasure.

"Sister Yue, I've missed you a lot these past few days."

Lu Wangyou slowly raised her head, her gentle eyes fixed on Bai Yue, and reached out to place Bai Yue's hand on her cheek.

Bai Yue could clearly feel the coolness of his skin through her fingertips, and the slightly trembling beauty mark under his eye, like a teardrop filled with longing.

"I can finally relax when I see you come back safe and sound."

His voice was soft and gentle, yet it possessed a power that penetrated the heart.

To her left, Yuwen Yi held her pitifully, seemingly aggrieved and weak; to her right, Lu Wangyou gazed at her tenderly and affectionately. Looking at these two strikingly different yet equally handsome faces, she finally sighed softly, as if giving up.

"Ugh!"

Although calling it a "sparring match" is a bit silly, these two are her rightful royal consorts. If she were to be overly coy and refuse, it would seem pretentious.

So she gently patted Yuwen Yi's shoulder and didn't object anymore, which was considered as tacit approval of the two's actions.

Yuwen Yi was overjoyed and carried Bai Yue out. Lu Wangyou followed with a smile, her gaze always fixed on Bai Yue, filled with tenderness.

But just then, two figures swiftly surrounded him like ghosts, blocking his path from the left and right.

It was Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an who had remained silent all along.

Hua Mu'an's face was tense, his jawline was taut, and there was a hint of barely perceptible anxiety in the depths of his eyes.

He bowed to Bai Yue, his voice low yet exceptionally firm.

“Master, I am your servant. It is my duty to protect you at all times and never leave your side. Wherever you go, I must go with you.”

He couldn't bear to see Bai Yue out of his sight, especially in this obviously ambiguous situation.

Ling Xuzi also stepped forward, his cold eyes staring straight at Bai Yue. He didn't say anything more, just repeated what he had said.

“Please, Master… don’t abandon Ah Da. Ah Da must stay with you at all times.”

His tone carried a barely perceptible plea. Ever since those vague memories surfaced, he had become increasingly afraid to leave Bai Yue, fearing that if he turned around, she would disappear just like in his memory.

Yuwen Yi looked at Ling Xuzi and sneered. He recalled how Ling Xuzi had neglected Bai Yue because of that so-called "little fairy," and old and new grudges surged into his heart.

He tightened his grip on Bai Yue's arm and looked at Ling Xuzi with a mocking tone.

"Ha, Master Xuanji, have you forgotten that 'little fairy' you once cherished? Now that she's gone, you come here to pester my wife? Do you even deserve her?"

"Little fairy?"

These three words, like a magic key, suddenly pierced into the chaotic depths of Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi's memories!

Images surged uncontrollably in her mind: Bai Yue's face was severely burned on one side, and the two of them stood in front of her, humiliating her with extremely cold, disgusted, and even hateful words.

"Hmph, the way you look now perfectly matches your wicked thoughts!"

Ling Xuzi's voice was sharp and sarcastic, and his eyes were full of disgust, as if the person in front of him was some kind of filthy filth.

"How dare you, with such a vicious mind, compare yourself to her?"

Hua Mu'an's words were even harsher, each one like a poisoned ice pick.

Those hurtful words that were once spoken now echoed repeatedly in their minds like a curse, piercing their hearts!

Are these really the things they did and the words they said to their master?! How could they say such cruel things to their kind-hearted master?

A tremendous shock, unbelievable regret, and self-doubt overwhelmed the two of them instantly, like a tsunami!

Their faces turned deathly pale in an instant, devoid of any color, and their eyes darted around violently, filled with pain and confusion.

Seeing the two men's distraught reactions, Yuwen Yi felt a surge of pleasure and wanted to add fuel to the fire to completely expose their hypocritical masks.

But just as he was about to speak, Bai Yue gently tugged at his sleeve, shook her head slightly, and spoke in a very soft voice.

"That's enough, A-Yi, stop talking."

She looked at Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi, and smiled as she whispered words of comfort.

"Ah Da, Ah Er, I'm fine, you don't need to worry. I'm just... going to talk to them about some personal matters, I'll be back soon, you can wait here."

"Tch, you got off easy!"

Yuwen Yi glared at Ling Xuzi before turning and leaving. Although Lu Wangyou was unclear about the details of their feuds, she followed the two.

Leave quickly.

In the empty courtyard, only Ling Xuzi and Hua Mu'an remained, standing frozen in place like two soulless stone statues.

They were tormented by the malicious fragments of memory in their minds, suffering terribly.

Yuwen Cheng saw all of this and understood a bit of what was going on.

It seems that these two people also have a past with Bai Yue that is unknown to others.

He stepped forward, gently patted the two of them on the shoulder, sighed, and offered them earnest words of comfort.

"Men should speak their minds and act boldly. Hiding things or being trapped by past mistakes will only increase suffering and ultimately cause you to miss the person in front of you."

After saying this, he turned and walked towards the room where everyone was discussing matters, leaving the two of them alone to process their thoughts.

Ling Xuzi looked at Hua Mu'an, who was also visibly shaken, and his Adam's apple bobbed several times before he finally managed to speak.

“Brother… you… did you also remember something? Those… unpleasant images about Master?”

Hua Mu'an did not answer immediately, but slowly raised the hand hanging at his side, his fingertips gripping the thin, cicada-wing-like disguise on the edge of his cheek, and suddenly tore it off!

With a soft "rip", the human skin mask that concealed his true face was completely torn off, revealing a handsome face that was almost identical to Ling Xuzi's.

The same eyebrows and eyes, the same features, but now they appear somewhat pale due to suppressed pain, and the jawline is taut, revealing a restrained fragility.

He turned to look at his elder brother, nodded heavily, and each word sounded hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out of his throat.

“Yes… I remembered some terrible scenes. I said a lot of hurtful things to my master, and my eyes were full of disgust and… hatred.”
