Jiang Ning pulled her hand back, took off the bracelet on her wrist, placed it in his hand, and said, âIâm sorry.â
âWhy?â he asked again.
âBecause weâre not a good match.â
âIn what way are we not suitable? I like you, and you have a good impression of me too, donât you?â
âI do have a good impression of you, but⦠having a good impression doesnât mean we can get married.â
âI donât understand.â Wenren Zong frowned, âI like you, my family accepts you. Your family also agrees, and you donât dislike me. Why canât we get married and be together?â
âBecause I donât want to be separated from the children.â
âEven if we get married, you can come back to see them whenever you miss them.â
âBut I canât come back every day, can I?â
âNingning, thatâs not a real reason. Tell me the real reason.â Wenren Zong squatted in front of the wheelchair, grasping her shoulders, âOr is it that Iâve done something wrong these few days that has made you dislike me?â
âNo, youâve been great.â
âThen what is the reason?â
âMaybe itâs because I havenât liked you enough to get married to you immediately.â Jiang Ning smiled, âThirteen, youâre a talented young man, and there are countless noble ladies who would be willing to marry you.â
âI donât want them, I only want you.â
âAlright, Thirteen, rest well. Iâll have Third Brother take you back tomorrow.â Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair and turned to leave.
Wenren Zong looked at her retreating figure, his emotions complicated.
Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair back herself, passing an archway, and saw Jiang Yi leaning against a door pillar, arms crossed, smiling, âWenren Zong is a very good husband candidate, and you just rejected him like that. Youâre really ruthless.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jiang Ning snorted and ignored him.
Jiang Yi followed and helped her push the wheelchair: âWhat a pity.â
Jiang Ning lazily leaned against the chair back, âIf itâs such a pity, why donât you marry him yourself?â
âItâs a pity Iâm a man.â
âDonât worry, I wonât discriminate against you.â
ââ¦Youâre naughty.â Jiang Yi laughed, âWenren Zong is quite loyal to the King of Chen, even risking his own lifelong happiness. Heâs a tough character, capable of great things.â
Jiang Ning pouted.
Jiang Yi glanced at her and smiled, âYouâre pretty tough too.â
âWhatâs so tough about me?â Jiang Ning lazily propped her chin, âI just donât want to be used and be someone elseâs pawn. The Emperor wonât do it, Prince of Yu wonât do it, and Wenren Zong is even worse.â
Jiang Yi was curious, âWhen did you know he was using you?â
âFrom the beginning.â
âHuh?â
âEver since his family started asking for my hand in marriage.â Jiang Ning said indifferently, âBrother, put yourself in his shoes, would you be willing to marry a disabled woman who has been married and has children?â
Jiang Yi laughed, âI understand what you mean, most people wouldnât. But⦠Seventh Sister, youâre so beautiful, itâs hard to say.â
âDoes Wenren Zong look like someone who would lose rationality and do anything for love?â
âHe doesnât.â
âSo isnât his motive very obvious?â Jiang Ning smiled, âHeâs using me to hit Prince of Yu. And heâs been successful.â
âIf you knew that, why did you still associate with him?â
âI had nothing better to do. Besides all that, Wenren Zong is handsome, romantic, and hanging out with him is still pretty enjoyable.â
Jiang Yi glanced at her, âI feel like youâre using Wenren Zong too.â
âNonsense, Iâm not.â
âThen it must be true.â Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow, âWenren Zong uses you to attack Prince of Yu, and you play his game. Is that it?â
âWhy would I want to scheme against Prince of Yu.â
âBecause you donât want him to become the Crown Prince, and you donât want to give the children back to him!â
