Chapter 417: Especially Miss Ye

"Brother Chu…" Xia Yu felt confusion brewing in her mind seeing Chu Chen defending Xia Ling.

Chu Chen firmly stood his ground, wordlessly wrapping his hand around Xia Ling's wrist and pulling her to her feet. Simultaneously, he placed himself in front of her as an act of defense. "You need to speak to Miss Ye nicely," he remarked.

When Ye Xingling first came to Pei Ziheng's side, Chu Chen's loyalties were divided. Now, she was pregnant with Pei Ziheng's child. If Chu Chen still could not decide whose side he was on, his position at Imperial would be at stake. Pei Ziheng did give the order before for him to treat Ye Xingling nicely, after all.

It was a pity that Xia Yu didn't know that she was pregnant.
