“You are the Prince of Yu, of course you dare. So, stay here tonight and see what will happen when the palace finds out you are not there tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it!”
Jiang Ning stood up, reaching for the crutch.
But she couldn’t move it.
Looking down, she found that damned Li Hongyuan had a foot on the crutch.
“What are you doing?”
“As a prince, my word is my bond. I said I won’t leave, so I’m not leaving tonight. In that case, shouldn’t you stay with me too?”
“I want to go back to sleep.” Jiang Ning frowned, “Move your foot.”
Li Hongyuan lifted his foot.
Jiang Ning glared at him, grabbed the crutch, and turned to leave. As she reached the door, she reminded him, “If you want to stay, just stay. I don’t care about the rest, just don’t disturb the children’s sleep. It’s hard enough for them to have a good night’s sleep these days.”
Li Hongyuan followed her to the door.
Jiang Ning leaned on the door, pushed it open, and carefully stepped outside.
Li Hongyuan said from behind, “It’s snowing again.”
Jiang Ning looked up.
Sure enough, there were tiny snowflakes falling, the ground covered with a thin layer of snow.
She inhaled a cold breath, slightly boosting her spirits, and headed for the main room.
After taking a few steps, her foot slipped.
Li Hongyuan quickly reached out to support her arm.
Jiang Ning looked back at him, “Let go.”
“No appreciation for kindness.” Li Hongyuan withdrew his hand and said softly, “With your bad legs, you still run around everywhere. Be careful, or you’ll fall and cry again.”
“Don’t worry, even if I do cry, it won’t be for you to see.”
“Haven’t you cried enough in front of me? I finally understand now – all those tears were fake! Did you also use tears to deceive Wenren Zong?”
“What’s it to you? Mind your own business,” Jiang Ning didn’t look back, irritated by his mocking words. All she wanted was to get back to her room quickly.
The ground was slippery from the snow, and she hurried, finally causing her to fall onto the ground.
Li Hongyuan watched her for a moment.
She fell pretty hard, unable to get up for a while.
Unable to bear it any longer, Li Hongyuan strode forward and scooped her up, heading for her bedroom.
“Put me down!” Jiang Ning yelled.
“Shut up!” Li Hongyuan said coldly, “If you don’t want everyone to know I am here, keep your mouth shut and be quiet!”
Jiang Ning didn’t speak anymore.
Li Hongyuan carried her to the bedroom. Hearing the commotion, Xiachu tried to get up to check, but he quickly knocked her unconscious with a concealed weapon.
“You–”
“That was the mildest way.” Li Hongyuan cut her off, “If I didn’t like you, do you think I’d go to all this trouble to sneak out of the palace and knock out all the servants here? Do you think I have nothing better to do?”
Jiang Ning looked at him in surprise.
He placed her on the bed, saying coldly, “What are you looking at? You were so clever when you were calculating Wenren Zong and me. After all this time, don’t you know why I keep coming to the Jiang family home?”
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything.
Li Hongyuan asked, “Where exactly did you hurt when you fell just now? Where is it painful?”
“Nowhere. You can go now.”
“Is it your arm?” He had seen her fall, her arm hitting the ground first.
“I told you it’s not. Are you leaving or not?” Jiang Ning was getting impatient.
Li Hongyuan looked at her, squatting in front of her, lifting her arm and rolling up the sleeve.
As expected, it was slightly scraped.
“Where’s the medicine?”
“I don’t have any!” Jiang Ning pulled her hand back, frowning, “It’s just a small scrape. I don’t care about it. What’s with you? Hurry up and leave! It was just a joke earlier, go back to the palace as soon as possible..”
