They were very close, looking into each other's eyes, and could clearly see the messages in each other's eyes.

But this man has always been able to plan and plan, and he remains calm and composed, so no one can guess his emotions.

She used to be very sure of his feelings for her, but now she is not sure. When she saw him sitting on the podium and praising the woman who performed for him for her good piano playing, she was no longer confident.

Even though his eyes were full of pain as he looked at her, Wei Hanzhang did not feel moved.

"Ran Ran," Xiao Junzhan was hurt by the coldness in her eyes, and his heart ached. For a moment, he didn't know what to say to comfort her. He moved his lips and said with difficulty: "Don't look at me like that."

"I am much older than you, but this is my first time in love. I don't know anything, and I treat you well out of my heart. I get jealous, I get uneasy, and I may do something wrong. How did I really hurt your feelings? Please tell me and we won't quarrel anymore, okay?"

He held her chin, and she could clearly see the moisture in his eyes. She could also hear that every word he said was a concession, with his true heart displayed without any disguise.

...But she didn't dare to ask for it.

She fixed her eyes on his thick and long eyelashes and said, "You want to hear the truth?"

Xiao Junzhan wanted to kiss her red and swollen eyes, but after restraining himself, he nodded gently.

"The truth is that I'm a little tired," Wei Hanzhang said in a calm tone. Even though he was holding her and sitting on his lap, he didn't show any intimacy. He said softly, "Xiao Boqian, you know, I've been in so much pain these past few days."

Xiao Junzhan's heart tightened: "Is the wound not healed yet?"

"No," Wei Hanzhang shook his head slowly, "It's not my arm that hurts, it's my heart that hurts."

"You said it hurt me when you kissed my cousin, it hurt me when you were mean to me, it hurt me when I saw other women flirting with you and you didn't reject them," she leaned tiredly on his shoulder in his shocked and painful gaze, "I don't want to feel this pain anymore, I can't let myself feel this pain anymore."

"I have never suffered any hardship since I was young, and I have rarely shed tears since I was old enough to understand. When Gu Yunran took in two concubines, I thought I would cry, but I didn't. When he broke off the engagement, I also thought I would cry, but I didn't. Even when he married Qi Yuxiao, I still didn't cry."

"I'm used to being heartless. I've loved bullying him since I was a kid, and he's the only one who gives in to me. But this is the first time I've felt heartbroken by you... I'm scared."

"It really hurts. I'm afraid of pain."

As she spoke further, her voice became smaller and smaller, but to Xiao Junzhan's ears, it sounded like a roar.

"I'm sorry, Ranran. I shouldn't have lied to you on purpose. I'm sorry for making you so sad."

His eyes were filled with shock and pain. He held her hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "Don't believe those nonsense. I have only kissed you and never looked at other girls. I don't even remember the name of the person who presented the piano to me. You are the only one in my mind. You will be the only one I can hold in my arms. I will never make you sad again."

"I didn't mean to be mean to you. When would I have the heart to be mean to you?" Looking at the fingerprints on her chin, Xiao Junzhan lowered his head and blew them away carefully. "I was so angry at your words that I lost my mind and lost my sense of propriety. If you don't like me touching you in the future, I won't touch you, okay?"

"From now on, I will bear all the pain. I will never let you feel any pain again."

"Lost your mind?" Wei Hanzhang lowered his head and looked at his facial features so close to him, and said calmly: "Did your Highness the Crown Prince lose his mind with just one sentence from me?"

"Ran Ran," Xiao Junzhan smiled bitterly, "This is also my first time to come into contact with the word love. I heard that you have been so close to other men, and yet you were able to retain some sanity."

Wei Hanzhang looked him straight in the eye: "Are you conscious now?"

"..." Xiao Junzhan pursed his lips and looked at her: "You were also speaking in anger, right?"

Wei Hanzhang paused and asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Whether it was in the cave with Chen Zishu, or with Gu Yunran when I was young and ignorant, it's all in the past.

She had really had such an intimate kiss with someone else.

...Is there anything else? She is so brave, do they have anything else?

Xiao Junzhan's heart was bleeding with hatred and he was breathing heavily.

Hearing that something was wrong with him, Wei Hanzhang reached out to push his shoulder, but was pushed down on the table and kissed.

She was startled and subconsciously tried to struggle, but her waist was tightly clamped, the back of her neck was held, and her injured arm was restrained under her ribs so that she could not move.

She was not strong enough to resist him, and his kiss was so eager that the air was robbed from her in a few seconds. Soon she was only able to fight desperately for oxygen.

Only when her cheeks turned red from the kiss and she was gasping for breath did she gently let go.

Xiao Junzhan buried his face in her neck, and waited until both of them calmed down before saying, "Let's stop making trouble and live a good life from now on, okay?"

The girl under him remained silent, causing him to raise his head and look over. The moment their eyes met, he lowered his head and kissed her again: "I promise that I will never make you sad in the future. No matter how angry you make me, I will never use other girls as a raft to make you angry."

There was still some redness in his eyes, like murderous intent, or like the remnant of tears that were forced back.

It can be seen that he felt very upset after hearing those words.

But he still suppressed his sadness and tried to coax her with a humble look.

Wei Hanzhang felt secretly pleased, but he also felt that it was not enough to relieve him compared to the grievances he had suffered in the past few days.

She said, "What if I still don't like you? Will you 'lose your mind' again?"

"No, Ranran, I promise you that I will never let you shed a tear from now on." Xiao Junzhan gently touched her lips and said word by word: "Since you can like me once, you can like me a second time."

"Except for you, I won't be this nice to anyone else." He sighed softly, carried her to the couch and laid her down, hugged her waist and said, "Just remember, no matter who you like, you can only stay in my arms. I can't listen to you on this matter."

Wei Hanzhang remained silent.

Xiao Junzhan gently stroked her long hair and said softly, "I've found the dead wood vine. I'll cure your poison when we get back to Beijing."

"Aren't you afraid that after I remove the poison, I'll find that I'm deeply in love with Chen Zishu?"

She knew how to stir his emotions.

Xiao Junzhan was silent for a long time, and suddenly he leaned his forehead against hers: "Then I admit it. Since I can drive Gu Yunran out of your heart, what does Chen Zishu matter to me?"

"You won't take revenge on him and deliberately make things difficult for him? Or you could send him away and cause an accident so that he dies away from home... Ugh!"

As she spoke, she put her hand over her lips, glared at the man who suddenly bit her, and said angrily: "You hit me!"
