Chapter 181 How about getting engaged to me?

His Royal Highness Prince Ding was also well aware that his actions were too despicable and shameless, but firstly, this could immediately rescue Shen Ning, and secondly... his patience had indeed reached its limit.

He really can't wait.

He didn't dare to be too aggressive with Chen Ning, for fear of scaring her away. But it was like boiling a frog in warm water. She was too slow to think of him in any other way.

If he doesn't use some methods, he will have no hope in this life!

His Royal Highness Prince Ding was torn between conscience and desire all night. Early in the morning, he pulled his father, who was not required to attend the morning court, from the dragon bed and said only five words: I want to marry Chen Ning.

Poor Emperor Jiaping had spent most of the night studying human habits with his newly appointed concubine. He was too sleepy to open his eyes, and was pulled awake by his son, who was like a father to him. After hearing those five words, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, as long as you decide."

His Royal Highness Prince Ding then placed the Emperor back on the dragon bed and turned around and strode away while his father was cursing.

So, now only Shen Ning is left.

After Shen Ning finished speaking, his Adam's apple moved, and he tried to maintain his composure: "What do you want to do?"

Shen Ning exclaimed, "I think? Is this what I want? That's the Queen Mother, your ancestor... can I do whatever I want?"

Xiao Nanchen was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly, "You can make the decision. As long as you don't want to, even the Queen Mother can't force you."

Shen Ning blinked: "Is it that simple?"

Xiao Nanchen lowered his eyes: "Yeah."

After struggling for a whole night, when the time came, he still couldn't say a word to coax Shen Ning.

He wants to be a human being.

However, although Xiao Nanchen said it simply, Shen Ning could also think in her heart that this matter would not be resolved so easily. Xiao Nanchen just didn't want to put pressure on her.

Even if he could solve it, it would certainly be very difficult.

After a pause, Shen Ning hesitated and said, "My aunt said that we can let the Sixth Prince ask me to marry him, so that we can settle it first and stop the thoughts of those who have ulterior motives. But I am a little hesitant. After all..."

"How about getting engaged to me?"

Xiao Nanchen's words without warning startled Shen Ning instantly. She looked up at Xiao Nanchen in astonishment, even wondering if she was hallucinating. "What did you say?"

I’m not a human being anymore!

Xiao Nanchen pursed his lips and looked away, his expression as usual: "Didn't you say that getting engaged to someone else is just a temporary solution...Instead of getting engaged to Old Six, who can be bullied by anyone, why not get engaged to me?"

Without giving Shen Ning a chance to speak, His Royal Highness Prince Ding seemed to be carefully weighing the pros and cons: "Our engagement is just a matter between the two of us, and it will be easy to resolve in the future. If other people are involved, who knows if there will be other problems in the future."

Shen Ning was also worried about this, but…getting engaged to Xiao Nanchen?

She felt a little confused: "But, this..."

Xiao Nanchen smiled slightly, his expression seemingly calm, as if he was truly just looking for a way to resolve the situation. "You're willing to consider a hypothetical marriage with Old Six, but you won't trust me?"

Shen Ning quickly shook her head: "Of course it's not that I don't believe you, I'm worried that it will affect your future marriage..."

marriage?

So she still thinks he will marry someone else in the future?

Xiao Nanchen originally couldn't bear to deceive Shen Ning, but he happened to hear her talking about a hypothetical marriage with the Sixth Prince... This made His Royal Highness Prince Ding a little intolerable, and at the same time he hardened his heart.

Let’s get her engaged first.

Even if she has no interest in him now, once they become an engaged couple, he can gradually infiltrate her heart without making a sound.

As a result, now I hear Shen Ning talking about his marriage...

His Royal Highness Prince Ding's heart was about to break, but he could only endure it and pretend to be calm and nonchalant: "We can talk about it later when there is a real marriage. You and I can discuss anything. At least it is better than you being worried about by the Queen Mother."

Seeing Xiao Nanchen's relaxed look, Shen Ning's originally tense mood also inexplicably relaxed.

Yes, Xiao Nanchen was trying to find a solution for her.

Being united against external enemies is just a temporary measure.

But she was still a little worried: "Will His Majesty and the Queen agree?"

After all, she is a widow, and Xiao Nanchen is His Royal Highness Prince Ding, the God of War. If Emperor Jiaping and Empress Wei were normal people, they would definitely not agree.

Across from him, Xiao Nanchen's eyes were filled with an extremely bright light.

What she was questioning now was whether the Emperor and Empress would agree, so she had already agreed...

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, His Royal Highness Prince Ding maintained a calm demeanor, "I'll handle these matters. As long as you don't object, you don't need to worry about anything else... Just leave it all to me."

Xiao Nanchen looked calm and composed. Seeing him, Shen Ning's heart settled down.

At this moment, Shen Qingbai, who had been watching silently from the side, coughed lightly and silently reminded his sister, "Sister, Anan is the Prince Ding after all. Being engaged to a prince is a very serious matter. If it's done, it will be difficult to back out later."

Before he could finish his words, he received a cold look from his brother Anang across from him, but Shen Qingbai ignored it and finished his words.

Although he privately thought that if his sister eventually got married, then Anang would be a good choice, he still wanted to remind his sister.

Shen Ning looked at Xiao Nanchen, a little uncertain: "If it's decided, will it be difficult to withdraw?"

Xiao Nanchen smiled: "It's easy. I can decide my own marriage."

Shen Ning nodded: "Then it's okay."

Beside him, Shen Qingbai felt helpless.

Does my sister trust Anang too much?

She never thought about what would happen if the obstacle to breaking off the engagement was Anang himself...
