Thinking of Feng Yu's guards, Li Youran couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
If those guards, whose faces are so cold they could wring water, were to help out at the hot pot restaurant, it would probably be closed down within three days.
Li Youran looked at Feng Yu and saw that he looked aggrieved. Li Youran was a little surprised. She did not expect that Feng Yu would have such a side.
It's perfectly normal for a fiancé to want his fiancée to stay away from other men.
Li Youran lowered her eyes slightly, and after thinking for a while, she looked up at Feng Yu. Under Feng Yu's expectant gaze, she opened her mouth and said.
"I am an old friend of Young Master Liu, and I have often received his help. I'm afraid others have misunderstood my relationship with Young Master Liu."
Upon hearing Li Youran's words, Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't what others thought; otherwise, he really wouldn't know what to do.
"You Ran, I believe in you. I'm just a little worried that you're overworking yourself..."
Feng Yu was afraid that Li Youran would know what he was thinking and think he was a narrow-minded person, so he said something to Li Youran that was not what he really meant.
Li Youran naturally knew what Feng Yu was thinking, but she didn't expose him. She just smiled slightly and didn't continue the topic.
After returning home, Li Youran tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her brief meeting with Feng Yu today made her think of many issues she had previously overlooked.
Originally, she was only thinking about using various methods to get out of this marriage, but she never considered Feng Yu's feelings.
Perhaps because she had met Feng Yu so infrequently and the two hadn't spoken much, Li Youran overlooked Feng Lei's feelings.
But after seeing him today, Li Youran knew that Feng Yu had feelings for her.
If she doesn't handle the aftermath properly, even if she manages to escape the marriage, she will still feel guilty.
Thinking about this, Li Youran had an even bigger headache, so she simply stopped thinking about these things and went to sleep under the covers.
Although Li Youran and Feng Yu's wedding did not take place as scheduled, the Second Prince's Crown Prince ceremony still proceeded.
These days, Li Youran has been busy with the hot pot restaurant and has not seen His Highness the Second Prince for many days.
On the day of the Crown Prince's enthronement ceremony, the Second Prince's wife will also be present to receive her title and become the Crown Princess.
Although Li Youran had never witnessed the Crown Prince's ceremony, he knew that ceremonies in ancient times always took a long time, especially such a grand ceremony, which naturally took even longer.
She couldn't help but worry about how the Second Prince's wife was still going through so much hardship even though she was pregnant.
So the next morning, he woke up with dark circles under his eyes and forced himself to get up to look for the Second Prince's wife.
"Normally, you won't get out of bed until the sun is right up to your backside. It must be really difficult for you to get up so early today."
Li Youran hurried as fast as she could, but she was still a step too late. Before she could go to find the Second Prince's Consort, the Second Prince's Consort was already ready and about to set off. Li Youran hurriedly returned to the main gate.
"Sister, if you really can't take it during the ceremony, take a break. Don't push yourself so hard."
Li Youran glanced at the Second Prince's wife's barely visible abdomen and said to her with a worried expression.
"Don't worry, your brother-in-law has taken care of everything. I just need to follow the procedures."
Hearing Li Youran's words, the Second Prince's wife was deeply moved, for she was indeed her younger sister who cared about her.
“After the Crown Prince’s ceremony, the Crown Prince and I will go to the Eastern Palace together, and it will be inconvenient for us to go together. I am really worried about leaving you alone in this huge mansion. After thinking it over, I decided to leave the steward and all the servants in the mansion behind.”
As she spoke, the Second Prince's Consort gently patted Li Youran's hand and continued speaking with a face full of affection.
"Although the Crown Prince and I are not here, everything in the manor is the same as before, so you don't need to worry."
Upon hearing the Second Prince's wife's words, Li Youran couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, and tears welled up in her eyes. Just then, the Second Prince rushed over.
"It's getting late, let's hurry up and go."
Li Youran looked at the Second Prince and noticed that he had lost a lot of weight recently.
Li Youran couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The higher one's position, the more responsibilities and troubles one bears. Although one may seem to be second only to the emperor, the price one has to pay behind the scenes is far too high.
"You Ran, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your sister."
The Second Prince smiled slightly at You Ran, then hurriedly helped the Second Prince's wife into the carriage.
Li Youran, who was initially feeling a bit down, suddenly changed her mood after being fed a dose of PDA.
It was unusual for her to get up so early, so she planned to take Xiaohong to the pancake shop, since it had been a while since she had visited her parents.
Nowadays, the business of the pancake shop is growing bigger and bigger. Not only is the restaurant business booming, but in order to cater to the needs of Beijingers, they have also set up breakfast stalls outside, serving breakfast every morning.
When Li Youran arrived, quite a few people were already having breakfast.
"Second sister-in-law, your belly is so big now, you can't keep working so hard."
When Li Youran arrived, she happened to see Zhao Lanzhi greeting two boys, around thirteen or fourteen years old, clearing away the leftover dishes from the guests.
"Little sister, I'm not tired at all. I'm just used to being busy, and it would be so boring to stop all of a sudden."
As Zhao Lanzhi spoke, she supported her back and walked towards Li Youran.
After a few days apart, Zhao Lanzhi's belly had grown considerably larger, as if she were carrying a large watermelon, and her whole body had become quite bloated.
