Chapter 252: Let's Save Some Face for Both Sides

Cui Ying didn't tell Chu Yan that she had decided to name Caizhuer Yuanyi. After thinking about it, she felt that the two names chosen by Chu Yan were the most pleasant.

It was just that she didn't want him to know the name she had given him.

As for Ke Chao and Cersei, they came to Ulfgarden a month before Pearl's hundred-day feast. Cui Ying had already written to them to tell them the news of the child's birth.

Ke Chao brought back a car full of things, including those from Cui Xu and Shen Huajiao, and the car was full of space.

Cersei waved her hand and gave Caizhu a piece of Dongyi land. It would be unreasonable for her, as a godmother, to give less than what Ke Chao gave.

Her land is a city in Dongyi. If Caizhuer wants to live in Dongyi in the future, her status will be comparable to that of a princess.

Cui Ying said that the gift was too valuable and could not be accepted under any circumstances. Cersei then said that her things were for Caizhu and she had no say. If Caizhu grew up and said she didn't want it, she would take it back.

Cui Ying had no choice but to agree, thinking that she might forget about it one day.

No matter what, Caizhu'er is Chu Yan's child. If she goes to Dongyi to be a princess, it will inevitably cause rift between the two countries.

The two of them hurried as fast as they could, fearing that they would miss Caizhuer's hundred-day banquet.

But as soon as he entered the room and saw Chu Yan holding Caizhuer, he was stunned.

"Chu Yan???"

Cersei blinked at the scene in front of her. Why did he come to Ulfort?
Chu Yan listened to her words but didn't even look at her. He just put his fingers into Caizhu's little hand, hooked her hand and shook it gently, making the child laugh.

"Why did you come to Wulei City?"

"Cersei."

When Cersei was about to ask more questions, Chu Yan slowly turned around and looked at her. When Cersei thought he was going to say something harsh, he looked at Cersei and slowly said, "Thank you."

He was not well prepared, and Chu Yi's fire spread to the villa. If it weren't for Cersei, Yingying would probably have suffered greater harm.

However, he has not forgotten that these things were done without his knowledge for such a long time.

"Have you been kidnapped?"

Cersei listened to his words and rubbed her eyes, wondering if he was a fake Chu Xun.

"elder sister……"

Ke Chao didn't listen any more. He looked at Chu Yan, and his mind recalled the day when Cui Ying was taken away by him and they were intimate on the long street.

He had only heard of Chu Yan's name before. That was the first time he met this Crown Prince who was said to be violent and eccentric. His eyes were full of love when he looked at Cui Ying.

This was his second time meeting Chu Yan. Now he was the emperor of Dashuo and should have been more majestic and inviolable. However, looking at his current appearance, Ke Chao felt a little unfamiliar.

Cui Ying happened to come out at this moment. Ke Chao stepped forward and called her. Then Chu Yan also walked to Cui Ying's side and asked, "Are you not going to sleep anymore?"

After being in Wulei City for so long, Chu Yan had already figured out Cui Ying's daily routine. She always took a nap at noon, and after waking up, she would look at the account books. After finishing her work, she would play with Caizhuer for a while.

Chu Yan skillfully handed the child to Cui Ying. Cersei wanted to come closer to take a look, but Chu Yan blocked her with his hand.
"You smell like alcohol, stay away."

Cersei raised her hand and sniffed. "You can smell a little milk wine."

She looked at the child eagerly. Cui Ying smiled and said, "Musha, take the princess to change her clothes. She must be covered in dust after traveling so long."

Hearing this, Cersei scolded her for being heartless. Who was she rushing here for?

Musa came over and took Cersei downstairs to change clothes. Cui Ying had held the child long enough and was about to give the child to the wet nurse when Chu Yan took the child. He smiled and said, "Go and take care of things."

Cui Ying looked at Chu Yan with an awkward expression, but she didn't say anything. "Ke Chao, that account."

"I want to talk to him for a few minutes. I'll come find you later."

When Chu Yan heard Cui Ying was going to call Ke Chao away, the smile on his face faded a little, and then he said this.

He said this with a tone that left no room for doubt, as if he had turned back into the emperor who controlled the power of life and death over the world.

"It's okay sis, I'll come get you later."

Seeing Cui Ying frowning and wanting to refuse Chu Yan's words, Ke Chao stepped forward to rescue her. He had heard of Chu Yan's name before and was afraid that Chu Yan might be unhappy and start a killing spree.

Chu Yan nodded to Cui Ying and took Ke Chao to his room.

Caizhuer was very quiet in his arms, not making any noise or noise, and was very well-behaved. He walked to the table and sat down, and Ke Chao saw Caizhuer's appearance clearly.

Although the child's eyes haven't fully opened yet, one can already see Cui Ying's and Chu Yan's appearance in his eyes and brows.

"When do you plan to leave Wulei City?"

Chu Yan teased Caizhuer with the colorful rope on her wrist. The colorful beads seemed to have an inexplicable attraction to her, and she reached out to grab them.

"I have no intention of leaving here."

"Why, you're determined not to marry?"

Hearing Ke Chao's words, Chu Yan sneered, then looked up at him.

He always smiles in front of Cui Ying, as if he has no temper, but sitting in this position, possessing the highest power in the world, how can he really have no temper at all?

He was just willing to show weakness in front of Cui Ying and be a subservient to her.

"My sister is now a free person, Your Majesty, it seems that you can't control her."

Ke Chao clenched his lowered hands, and Chu Yan glanced at him aggressively: "Do you think Cui Ying is the kind of person who will fall in love with you because of your silent protection?"

"You still don't understand her."

Chu Yan retracted his gaze, leaned back, and showed a somewhat comfortable attitude: "If she doesn't like it, she will never like it. She won't drag her feet. I guess she has already made it clear to you."

"I didn't expect anything from her."

The man's words were the calm and confident result of having experienced many things and having a deep understanding of human nature. Every word he said touched Ke Chao's heart, and he had to admit that what he said was indeed right.

Cui Ying has never been the kind of person who would sacrifice herself because of soft-heartedness, otherwise she would have returned to Shangjing with Chu Yan long ago.

She is a tenacious flower and a free bird. She has her own pursuits, which is why he likes her.

"She won't belong to anyone, no matter you or me. If we leave Wulei City, we can at least save some dignity. If we insist on pestering her, we will only be despised."

Chu Yan spoke softly, lowering his eyes to look at Cai Zhu'er who was already asleep in his arms.

"What about your majesty? Are you going to take my sister back to the capital?"

Ke Chao took a step forward and asked him with a frown. Chu Yan shook his head slightly: "No, she can be wherever she likes."

This was the time she had finally gained, why should he want to deprive her of it again? Compared to death, these were insignificant.

All he needed to know was that she was alive and well.
