Ning Yu was sitting in the car, and her mind went blank when she heard Shen Zongyu's words.

What does Shen Zongyu mean by this?

Did he already know that Pingping and Anan were his children?

But she never revealed anything, maybe she guessed wrong.

Ning Yu held on to a glimmer of hope.

Ye Zijing and Lin Yuyou were struck by lightning.

He froze in place, unable to react for a long time.

Ye Zijing was the first to react, "W-what do you mean?"

Could it be that Marquis Changping wanted Yu'er to be his concubine?

You can't blame Ye Zijing for thinking this way. No one would have thought that the child was Shen Zongyu's.

The same is true for Lin Yu.

His fists were clenched tightly, veins bulging, and his fox eyes were burning with anger. "Even though you are a noble marquis, you can't force my cousin to become your concubine..."

Shen Zongyu's face grew increasingly gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "The child is the responsibility of the biological father, not two outsiders."

Before Ye Zijing and Lin Yu could react, the carriage had already sped away.

At this time, Ye Zijing and Lin Yu finally realized that Shen Zongyu was Pingping and Anan's biological father!

This guy is clearly showing off in front of them on purpose!

There was silence in the carriage.

Ning Yu clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, lowered her head, and didn't dare to look at the tall and mighty man sitting next to her.

Shen Zongyu looked at the little wet nurse in front of him who was almost curled up into a ball with a smile, and also had some thoughts of teasing her.

"I remember you said your husband had died long ago?"

Ning Yu wanted to cry but had no tears, not knowing whether to nod or shake her head.

The Marquis is really petty, he still remembers such a small thing so clearly!

Seeing Ning Yu's trembling expression, Shen Zongyu's anger dissipated a little. He said calmly, "Don't you have anything to explain to me?"

Ning Yu raised her eyelids, a flattering smile hung on the corners of her lips, and her voice was also delicate, "My Lord, let me think about it..."

But I was very panicked.

How did the Marquis know that Pingping and Anan were his children?

Shen Zongyu crossed his arms, his eyes dark and his tone threatening, "I have already given you a lot of time."

It seemed as if if she couldn't give him a satisfactory answer, she would be devoured by the man.

Ning Yu looked at Shen Zongyu, her pupils reflecting the man's figure, and she hesitated for a while before speaking.

"I'm worried that if others knew that Pingping and An'an were your children, there would be countless dangers, so I wanted to keep it a secret."

Shen Zongyu was stunned, and the anger that had been buried deep in his heart disappeared a little.

Soon, a burst of joy welled up in his eyes again, although he was only 70% sure in his heart.

Now that Ning Yu said this, it turned out that Pingping and Anan were indeed his!

But even if the children were not his, he was willing to raise the two little kids there.

But when he thought about the little nanny who had put them right under his nose, he made up his mind that he must not let her go so easily.

Ning Yu secretly glanced at the man. Shen Zongyu remained indifferent. After thinking about it, she secretly pinched the flesh on her thigh with her hand, and the pain suddenly surged up.

Seeing that Ning Yu had not spoken for a long time, Shen Zongyu heard a woman's soft sobbing sound in his ears and could not help but look at her.

Ning Yu raised her chin and glanced at the man timidly.

There was moisture in her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, her long and thick eyelashes were covered with water droplets, and her thin eyelids were stained with rouge, which was dazzling.

So pitiful and cute.

Shen Zongyu felt even more pity for her and suddenly felt a little regretful for deliberately ignoring her, so he quickly hugged her in his arms.

How could I bear to be mean to her?

The man coaxed carefully, "Don't cry..."

Shen Zongyu gently wiped away the tears of the person in his arms, his voice extremely soft.

"I shouldn't have been so mean to you just now. Since you've given birth to my offspring, I'll have someone find an auspicious date when I return and marry you as the mistress of the Marquisate..."

Ning Yu was dumbfounded and forgot to cry.

She didn't expect that crying like this would not only calm the man down, but also make him say he wanted to marry her.

Shen Zongyu had experienced countless battlefields and was a very perceptive person. He immediately noticed that there was something wrong with the little wet nurse's face.

She was clearly pretending to cry just now to gain his sympathy.

Shen Zongyu's big hands tightly embraced the woman's soft and slender waist, and his warm breath sprayed on Ning Yu's ears and behind her neck.

This caused her to shiver uncontrollably, and made Ning Yu want to dodge.

But Shen Zongyu would never allow that. He just forced her to sit on his lap and asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

I don't know what he was thinking about, but his eyes turned a terrifying crimson red, and his voice became hoarse, "...Don't you want to marry me?"

In fact, Shen Zongyu believed that Ning Yu had him in her heart, otherwise why would she give birth to Ping Ping and An An for him?

But the nanny's silence made him a little scared.

He did not dare to use the rough methods he used to deal with prisoners and subordinates in the past, and could only wait silently for Ning Yu's answer.

As time passed by little by little, Shen Zongyu frowned slightly, pursed his lips, and a hint of anxiety appeared on his face.

Doesn't she want to?

Or is she still in love with her ex-fiancé Ye Zijing, or her cousin Lin Yu?

Thinking of this, Shen Zongyu's grip on the woman's waist became stronger and stronger, and he didn't want to let go.

He couldn't even imagine Ning Yu marrying another man. She could only be his, even though they already had two children...

Then, a clear voice came to his ears, "...I'll think about it, but I have to ask you a few questions first..."

Before Ning Yu could finish her words, Shen Zongyu's face was full of ecstasy. He held her face with both hands and kissed her all over, quickly and fiercely.

Ning Yu almost couldn't breathe.

It was not until Shen Zongyu felt the little nurse struggling that he reluctantly let go and asked softly, "Did you kiss too hard?"

Ning Yu leaned softly in the man's arms, trying to calm her breathing. "I haven't finished what I said yet. After all, I have to consider Pingping and Anan..."

Shen Zongyu's palm fell on Ning Yu's back, stroking it intermittently, "You say."

He vaguely guessed what Ning Yu was thinking, but still waited patiently for her to finish.

"If the prince and Ping Ping An come into conflict, which side will you stand on?"

Ning Yu originally wanted to reject Shen Zongyu. After all, she already had two children, which meant she had completed the task given by the system and there was no need to find a man.

But it is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for a beautiful woman with two children in troubled times. She has no choice but to find a backer to protect herself and her children.

Most importantly, Shen Zongyu is Pingping and Anan's biological father.

"No matter what happens, I will protect you and the children."

Shen Zongyu said without hesitation, his voice calm and powerful, "And no matter who it is, if they hurt you in the slightest, I will kill them."
