Jiang Ning shook her head: âI didnât know he would bring the child out. But I think, after all, he is the Prince of Yu, proud and arrogant, and would never allow his ex-wife to marry someone else. If he tries to stop me, I would have a bargaining chip to negotiate with him again. I just didnât expect him to give me the child so directly.â
She lowered her head to look at the child in her arms, pulling down the cloth on the wrapping blanket to block out the wind and snow.
The wind and snow were heavy outside.
Huang Ying wanted to call for a carriage, but looking around, she realized they hadnât come by carriage but had walked instead.
There hadnât been so much snow when they arrived.
Now with the young master in her arms, she obviously couldnât walk back like this.
âXiaoman, you stay here with the young lady and the young master, while I go find a carriage,â Huang Ying instructed Xiaoman.
Xiaoman agreed and firmly stayed by Jiang Ningâs side.
At this time, a carriage approached from not far away and stopped next to Jiang Ning when it passed by.
Thirteen jumped off the carriage and quickly walked over, asking, âJiang Seventh Miss, what are you doing here?â
Before Jiang Ning could speak, Xiaoman said, âOur young lady is with the young master and has no carriage to go home.â
Thirteen looked surprised and said hastily, âCome on, take my carriage, and Iâll take you home.â
Jiang Ning thought for a moment, worried that the child wouldnât be able to handle the heavy wind and snow, and nodded, âThank you.â She then said to Xiaoman, âWait for your sister Huang Ying, and when she comes, tell her I went home first. You go back with your sister Huang Ying.â
âThis servant will remember,â Xiaoman nodded.
Thirteen extended his hand and said, âIâll hold the child. Xiaoman, you help your young lady into the carriage.â
Jiang Ning handed the child to him and got into the carriage. After receiving the child back, she saw him standing outside the carriage with snow falling on his head and shoulders, and said, âThirteenth Young Master, come in and sit as well. Itâs really cold outside.â
âThisâ¦â
âItâs okay. I donât care about those formalities.â
âAll right.â Thirteen, being straightforward, jumped onto the carriage and sat across from her.
The thick curtain blocked the wind and snow outside.
Jiang Ning sat comfortably, uncovering the swaddling cloth to reveal the babyâs face.
The baby was actually asleep, with rosy cheeks and a sweet slumber.
Jiang Ning gently touched his soft cheek and felt incredibly at ease.
Thirteen sat across from her, watching this scene, and smiled: âThis child looks a lot like you.â
âReally?â Jiang Ning smiled, âPeople say sons resemble their mothers, and daughters their fathers.â
âNow that youâve divorced the Prince of Yu, do you have any plans for the future?â
âI havenât thought about it yet. Right now, I just want to raise my two children well.â
âWhat made you take the child out today with such heavy snow?â
âI was supposed to be meeting someone for a marriage interview, arranged by my family,â Jiang Ning smiled and glanced at him, âLike the last time I met you. But since the Prince of Yu brought the child, I naturally lost interest in the interview.â
Thirteenâs eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice to ask, âWould you be willing to remarry?â
Jiang Ning laughed: âWith the two children I have, how can I marry again?â
âI donât mind.â
Jiang Ning looked up at him.
Thirteen lowered his eyelashes, his voice softer by a few degrees: âI am sincere in asking for your hand, and I hope that Jiang Seventh Miss will seriously consider.â
âGiven your background, character, and prospects, you could marry a noble and highborn lady. Why would you seek to marry me?â Jiang Ning asked. âIs it just because your political views differ from those of the Prince of Yu?â
âNo.â Thirteen immediately denied it, then shook his head. âAt first, maybe that was part of my consideration. Butâ¦.â
