Fukang'an smoothed Yan Ning's jet-black hair and smiled gently, "Hailancha knows what E'lan has done. Although he dotes on E'lan, he is a man of great principle!"

Hearing Fukang'an's words, Yan Ning felt relieved, but she was still full of doubts about E'lan and Hailancha's appearance together. "Why are they here?" Fukang'an said nonchalantly, "Mother has forgiven E'lan, but I have been avoiding seeing them. Today, they have trapped me in this vegetarian restaurant."

Fukang paused for a moment, glanced at the still bewildered Yan Ning, and continued, "Elan was the wife Mother chose for me. Now your appearance has disrupted Mother and Hailancha's original plans. They are afraid that I will take my anger out on Elan because of you and will not welcome her into the manor! Hailancha came today to say that Elan is willing to be a concubine and hopes that I can welcome her into the manor after we are married. But I am afraid that you are still thinking about what happened that day and have already refused him!"

Yan Ning turned her face away and said in a sour tone, "I think it's because that Princess Elan likes you, and you like her too. You two must have made your own life commitment!"

Fukang'an smiled, lowered his head and kissed Yan Ning's lips, saying indistinctly with his eyes closed, "There is only a place for you in my heart!" Yan Ning was moved by his words and closed her eyes in response to Fukang'an. The longing of the past few days turned into this tender moment.

Fukang'an picked up Yan Ning and carried her to the carved wooden bed in the inner room. Yan Ning rested her head on Fukang'an's neck, her heart pounding. Fukang'an put Yan Ning down and unbuttoned her clothes. Yan Ning blinked nervously a few times, then closed her eyes, letting Fukang'an's masculine scent fill her nostrils.
