Li Hongyuan carried Jiang Ning up the stairs and entered a private room on the second floor.
It was quite different from the struggle and noise downstairs.
On the way up, Jiang Ning stayed quietly in his arms.
She was as still as a statue, a stark contrast to her behavior moments ago.
Li Hongyuan stopped: “I thought you were going to go crazy.”
Jiang Ning replied, “You are the knife and I am the fish. I’m afraid if I make a fuss, you will get angry and throw me down. What will happen to the child if something happens to me?”
Li Hongyuan said coldly, “I’m not that crazy.”
He put her on a chair.
He was especially gentle with his movements when lowering her down.
After landing safely, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief and reached for the tea on the table.
Li Hongyuan held her back: “Drinking tea is not good for the baby.”
“When did Your Highness start caring for this child so much?” Jiang Ning withdrew her hand, “Who said before that I should abort this baby? Now that I want to drink tea, you suddenly care.”
“At that time, I didn’t know the child was mine.”
“I got pregnant before we got married. Didn’t you suspect?”
“I asked Emperor Father and learned that the child in your belly is indeed mine.” Li Hongyuan turned and poured her a glass of water, his tone softened, “I take back what I said before.”
Jiang Ning didn’t say anything but picked up some useful information from his words.
“Emperor Father knows about this?”
“He knew much earlier, much earlier than both of us.” Li Hongyuan didn’t say it too explicitly, but anyone with an inkling could figure it out.
Jiang Ning understood even more now.
It must have been Old Man Li’s doing all along.
This shameless old man.
Using such a despicable method, calculating not only his own son but also involving the innocence of a young girl.
Did he even bother to ask for her opinion?
No wonder he gifted her so many valuable items afterwards, his conscience must have been uneasy.
Li Hongyuan sat opposite her and said, “I’ve heard about your situation.”
Jiang Ning glanced at him.
What situation could she possibly have?
Oh, except for the arranged marriage.
Li Hongyuan lowered his gaze slightly, “Since you won’t accept anyone other than me, why bother with Wenren Zong?”
Jiang Ning:”??”
Li Hongyuan continued, “As long as you behave, I can take you back, give you a proper title, and let you live peacefully in the mansion to raise the child. After all, the child is mine, and I will take responsibility.”
For a moment, Jiang Ning didn’t know what to say and could only respond, “Who wants your title?”
Li Hongyuan looked at her for a few moments: “Then what do you want?”
“I want you to stay away from me.”
This woman, wasn’t she the one who claimed she only liked him and wouldn’t marry anyone else?
She was really infuriating.
He was even prepared to reconcile with her and take her back to the mansion.
“Don’t forget, the child in your belly is mine.”
“I never denied that.”
“In that case, you should come back with me.”
“No.”
“I won’t force you to come back now that you’re pregnant. However, you cannot read stories like you did today, and you cannot meet Wenren Zong anymore.”
Jiang Ning didn’t answer directly but smiled, “Your Highness married me because I looked like Lin Zizi. And now, asking me to go back is also Emperor Father’s idea, right? Since you don’t like me, why bother?”
“I don’t need your advice on what I do. Just remember my words.”
“I read the story today just for fun. As for Wenren Zong, since he likes me, I might consider marrying him.”
Li Hongyuan was amused by her response, “Do you really think Wenren Zong wants to marry you because he likes you?”
