Li Hongyuan said, “Even if you leave, let me apply some medicine for you first.”

“I’ll have someone else help me.”

“They won’t wake up anytime soon.”

“I don’t need your help!” Jiang Ning raised her foot to kick him, “Didn’t I say last time that I never want to see you again? You still insist on coming and being annoying. Do you know that I really hate you and don’t want to see you at all?”

She kicked him in the knee.

It hurt a lot.

Li Hongyuan frowned, wanting to get angry, but when he saw her injured arm, he endured it.

He didn’t say anything, went to the Treasure Pavilion, found a bottle of wound medicine, and forcefully grabbed her arm to apply it.

Jiang Ning just stared at him coldly.

Li Hongyuan said, “In my entire life, I’ve only been slapped and beaten by you.”

Jiang Ning didn’t speak.

Li Hongyuan continued, “You’ve seen what happened to Ms. Zhao. I’ve also thought about why you dare to treat me this way, and why I still keep you and think about you. I finally realized it’s because I like you.”

He looked into her eyes, “Jiang Ning, if I’ve ever expressed my feelings for you in the wrong way, then I apologize.”

Jiang Ning looked away, “There’s no need for that, Your Highness. You are the Prince of Yu, and I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t handle your affection.”

“Since I’m sure that I like you, I won’t deny it. I took the risk to come here tonight because I missed you and wanted to see you. It’s not because I wanted to see the children.”

“You’re such a great father.”

“Jiang Ning, can you forgive me?” Li Hongyuan held her hand.

Jiang Ning shook him off, “But I really don’t like you and don’t want to see you. If you really care about me, let me live a peaceful life with the children without any disturbance. That’d be the best thing for me.”

“Why?”

“To like someone, one doesn’t need a reason. The same goes for disliking someone. I just don’t like you. Just like you disliked me back then.”

“At that time, I didn’t really dislike you, I just hated having to go against my own wishes.”

“How ridiculous.” Jiang Ning sneered.

Who forced him?

Wasn’t it because he wanted to become the Crown Prince, gain the Emperor’s favor, and marry her?

Now he suddenly denies it, such thick-skinned.

Jiang Ning said, “I’m going to sleep. Can you leave now?”

“I’m not leaving.”

“You—” Jiang Ning flipped over her pillow, grabbed a pair of scissors, and pointed them at him. “If you dare to treat me like last time, I’ll stab you to death.”

Li Hongyuan raised an eyebrow, “You hide scissors under your pillow?”

“To deal with shameless thieves like you!”

“Last time, I was drunk and didn’t mean to take advantage of you or mistreat you.” Li Hongyuan looked at her wariness and coldness, feeling somewhat regretful.

Although he enjoyed that night and had thought of it many times, he regretted causing her shock and harm.

Jiang Ning said, “When you’re drunk and want to find a woman, you can go back to your concubines. They must be looking forward to serving you. Why bother with me, a disabled person?”

“Do you really want me to go find them?”

“You can find anyone you want, just don’t bother me.”

Li Hongyuan moved closer, grabbed the back of her head, and said softly, “Jiang Ning, the first time I ever liked a woman in my life, I won’t let go no matter what. I must become the Crown Prince and then marry you as my Princess Consort.”

He lifted her chin and kissed her..
