âBecause she called me a cripple. Itâs a fact, canât I even say it?â
âFacts or not, not everyone has the qualifications to say them.â Li Hongyuan said, âMoreover, what angers me is her disrespectful attitude towards you. Since she dares to be disrespectful, Iâll let her feel what itâs like to be a real cripple.â
He looked into her eyes: âArenât you happy?â
âIâm not unhappy, nor am I happy,â Jiang Ning said, âMs. Fang is your concubine, not mine. Naturally, you can handle her any way you want.â
âBut you look a little serious.â
âIâm wondering, can you be so ruthless to a woman who has once shared a bed with you and been entwined in tenderness?â
Li Hongyuan was startled, silent for a moment and then said, âIâve never touched her.â
This time it was Jiang Ningâs turn to be surprised.
Since he had said it, he might as well make it clear.
Li Hongyuan added, âYou are the first woman for me.â
Jiang Ning was speechless.
She glanced at Li Yuanyuanâs carriage, âArenât you indifferent to those beauties and concubines? Isnât it said that you favor Ms. Li the most?â
Li Hongyuan replied indifferently, âDid I say that?â
âYou donât have to say it yourselfâ¦â
âNo.â
Jiang Ning thought that Li Hongyuan was quite enduring.
Li Hongyuan seemed to see through her thoughts and said coldly, âWhen I married you, I had just turned eighteen. I donât think itâs necessary to have a woman at the age of sixteen or seventeen. Besides, theyâre not worthy.â âNot worthy of what?â
âNot worthy of letting me share a bed with them.â
II I!
These words were too explicit.
Jiang Ning was speechless for a while.
After a long pause, she asked, âSo when you found out that Wenzan and Lingzi were your children, did you think the same way?â
âNo.â
âReally?â
âIf I have to give a reason, perhaps itâs because I liked you from the moment I first saw you,â he said.
âStop talking nonsense.â
Jiang Ning believed that he liked her now, but she didnât believe for a second that he liked her at first sight.
Li Hongyuan asked, âDo you know when I first saw you?â
âWasnât it during the selection? When you threw the flower ball at me.â
âI saw you before that.â
âOh⦠I remember now.â Jiang Ning recalled that on the day she entered the palace, she wandered around and saw him from a distance. Of course, at that time she didnât know that the beautiful young man with the celestial appearance was the Prince of Yu.
So he saw her that time too.
Love at first sight is rare, but not impossible, as long as someone is beautiful enough.
Jiang Ning was convinced that her face was beautiful enough for someone to fall in love with her at first sight.
She just never thought that the Prince of Yu would also fall for her.
âAt that time, I didnât realize it. Because, my feelings for you were destroyed by the upcoming selection,â Li Hongyuan said, âIf I could have met you earlier, and not in the selection context, I would have liked you in a normal way. So as not to hurt you.â
âYou can only blame your Emperor father for that.â
âAs a son and a subject, I cannot judge him.â
âBeing forced out of Changâan City like this, are you willing?â Jiang Ning asked.
âWhether Iâm willing or not, what can I do?â
Jiang Ning looked at his face.
It was the first time in their long acquaintance that she had looked at him so closely.
His features were delicate, and his skin was so fragile that it seemed to break with a touch.
In the sunlight, tiny hairs on his face were shining with a golden glow.
Fairly speaking, among all the men Jiang Ning had ever seen, he was the most handsome..
