Gong Ning, like a cunning little fox, seemed to have come up with some clever idea. Her voice was full of undisguised smugness, and she even clapped her hands to amuse herself.
"You're right, I did this with ulterior motives. I've taken a liking to you, and I want to live in your Starry Garden, share your bed, and then cling to you for the rest of my life, having a bunch of little monkeys!"
Sizzle—
Hearing this out of the blue, Ji Chen, who was driving, slammed on the brakes in a panic.
The car made a screeching sound due to the sudden braking.
Due to inertia, Gong Ning suddenly leaned forward. In addition, she had just unbuckled her seatbelt to make it easier to talk to Yan Jingzhou, and now she was about to crash into the seat in front of her without any warning.
Yan Jingzhou opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the girl into his arms.
Gong Ning had hurriedly closed her eyes and pursed her lips tightly when the situation suddenly occurred, waiting for the pain to strike.
Huh?
The little girl opened her eyes, saw the situation, and her eyes immediately crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.
She suddenly cupped Yan Jingzhou's face and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah Zhou, I knew you were the best. You couldn't bear to see me get hurt. Ah Zhou, you're the best!"
Yan Jingzhou froze on the spot, his dark eyes gradually brightening with a dazzling starlight, and his thin lips moved slightly, as if curving into a very faint and weak smile.
Upon closer inspection, a hint of surprise appeared on his usually cold and aloof face.
A few more coughs, as if someone had a gasp for breath, came from ahead.
Yan Jingzhou suddenly snapped out of his daze and glared at him.
Ji Chen desperately held it back!
He stared intently at Gong Ning's smiling, fair face for a few moments, the light in his eyes shifting between reality and illusion before finally settling, and then abruptly brushed her away.
The car stopped just then, and Yan Jingzhou got out without looking back, a few wisps of cold wind enveloping him.
Ji Chen opened the car door for her, and Gong Ning pouted and got out of the car with a sullen expression.
But then they saw the man who had gotten off the bus earlier standing not far away.
Gong Ning felt as if she had been stung by a bee, and a slight redness rose in her eyes.
He was waiting for her.
She understood that he was angry—angry at her heartlessness, angry that she had left without a word and forgotten him...
Even though he's still angry with her and deliberately distancing himself from her, he still can't bring himself to be cruel to her...
His gaze shifted slightly.
The light from the doorway shone on him, making his figure appear even taller, more upright, and noble.
His handsome, three-dimensional features were deep and captivating, his face remained as indifferent as ever, and he exuded the mature charm of someone in a superior position.
So... alluring!
Gong Ning's eyes lit up several degrees, and she suddenly felt motivated.
Just for his ridiculously handsome face, I'm determined to be with this man.
What if she disappears without a trace like in the last life? Where will she go to cry then?
Gong Ning skipped forward, her sweet smile infectious, which softened the man's originally cold and hard expression.
He walked in without saying a word. Knowing that Gong Ning hadn't eaten much that night, Yan Jingzhou had already instructed Xingzhan Garden to prepare dinner while they were on the road.
Therefore, as soon as Gong Ning entered the room, she was captivated by the rich fragrance that filled the room, and her feet moved uncontrollably toward the dining room. Her dark eyes shone with an alarming light due to her barely concealed excitement.
The man followed silently, his brows slightly raised, a faint smile flashing across his eyes!
After Gong Ning finished her elegant and swift combo, she patted her stomach with satisfaction, looking quite content.
cough.
During the reign of Emperor Guyou, she often went out of the palace with her grandfather.
For convenience, she often dressed as a man. Sometimes when she got too carried away, her behavior would inevitably become bold and unrestrained, making her a complete tomboy.
At such times, the Emperor would often puff out his beard and glare, giving a stern reprimand.
No matter what, she is the most noble eldest princess of the Great You Dynasty, and she must maintain proper decorum in everything she does.
Especially when dining, no matter how hungry or impatient you are, you must maintain elegance... and so on...
We mustn't give others something to say about us, lest we become the subject of gossip and become the talk of the town.
Sigh! Look, she's been successfully brainwashed...
Yan Jingzhou's elegant, narrow eyebrows twitched slightly, his brows twitching almost imperceptibly. He picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, and said calmly, "Your room is ready. If you want to rest, have Butler An take you there. If not, you can go to the living room to watch TV. It's up to you!"
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Gong Ning obediently responded, and then saw the man walking steadily upstairs. Her heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Where are you going?"
The man paused slightly as he climbed the steps, his long, slender legs, encased in perfectly pressed trousers, subtly revealing a powerful and robust physique with graceful lines.
He didn't respond to her and went upstairs on his own.
Gong Ning puffed out her cheeks, and her originally bright eyes dimmed slightly.
Could it be that she's misinterpreting things, that's why she's being so cold to her?
Yan Jingzhou isn't interested in her?
Don't you like her?
A hint of distress and slight frustration appeared on her fair and tender face!
If Yan Jingzhou doesn't like her.
Gong Ning lowered her eyes, a feeling of indescribable loss and sadness welling up in her heart.
If he doesn't like her anymore, she will be very, very upset.
She suddenly looked up, watching the tall, slender figure gradually disappear from her sight, her soft fingers gently stroking her chin, lost in thought.
No, she doesn't believe it.
The older brother who accompanied her through the most difficult years will not abandon her, nor will he dislike her.
