A hand reached in from the window and held her arm. Xiao Junzhan's voice became softer and softer: "The Jiang family is fine now, but you turned your face against us, Ranran, who taught you to do things this way?"
His Adam's apple rolled, as if he could no longer bear it. His eyes were filled with a dark color, and his fingers slowly closed: "Do you want to open the door now, or should I ask someone to open it?"
Wei Hanzhang's arm was held by him and he was about to break free when he heard his words. He was immediately shocked and angry. He looked over, but his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
The appearance of the man in front of her was really scary. He no longer had the gentle and doting look he usually had. His eyes were dark, like a bottomless spring.
As she raised her head, the hand on his arm moved to her chin. After holding it, Xiao Junzhan leaned over from the window and said softly, "Ran Ran, how did I offend you that I told you to break off all ties with me? Open the door and tell me."
"What?" Wei Hanzhang freed his hand from his chin, stood up suddenly, and said in a very calm voice, "Your Highness, how did you deceive a little girl like me who has not even reached the age of marriage?"
After hearing the call of "Your Highness the Crown Prince", Xiao Junzhan finally understood the crux of today's events. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand, placed it on the window sill, and clenched it tightly, trying to suppress the panic in his heart.
"I can explain." He said, "It's my fault for letting you misunderstand my identity, but I didn't mean to lie to you..."
"Your Highness, please don't embarrass me." Wei Hanzhang knelt down and bowed, saying calmly and politely, "You are the crown prince, how could you be wrong? You don't need to explain to me. However, I didn't know your identity these days, and my words and actions were vulgar and offensive. Please forgive me."
The two of them looked at each other through the window. Under her gaze, Xiao Junzhan's dark eyes returned to normal and he drooped his eyelids.
Wei Hanzhang said, "Your Highness, please go back. I'd also like you to repair the courtyard wall. Oh, by the way... please return my jade pendant to me."
"Open the door first." Xiao Junzhan's voice was tinged with bitterness, "Open the door and explain clearly."
Wei Hanzhang paused. He really didn't want to open the door, but this person was the current crown prince! If he didn't want to leave, who could drive him away? After a moment of stalemate, he finally opened the door.
Ning Hai, who was waiting by the corridor, was relieved when he saw him. If he was willing to open the door, the conflict should be...solved, right?
Luzhu and Lulan on the side looked at each other and had completely different ideas from him.
"Ran Ran, I never meant to lie to you, and I never deliberately misled you about my identity." Xiao Junzhan closed the door as soon as he entered, lowered his eyes to look at the girl in front of him, and explained softly: "This is the first time I have a girl in my heart. At the beginning, I didn't even know how to approach you."
At that time, she had her childhood sweetheart, her fiancé, by her side. If he told her his true identity directly, would she think that he was using his power to bully her and trying to separate them? Even if...even if he really thought so and did so, she couldn't think so.
It was easy to welcome her into the Eastern Palace, but he could not allow her to enter the Eastern Palace with resentment towards him in her heart.
What is even more unacceptable is that she feels regretful for not being with the man from the Gu family.
There must not be any regrets towards other men.
His love for him alone was truly deep in his heart.
So, when she misunderstood that he was the Prince of Yan, he did not explain it immediately, but went along with it and used this identity to get along with her.
Now it seems that it was a big mistake, but at that time, when he looked at the girl for a second longer, his heart was so panicked that he could not consider everything.
Xiao Junzhan was actually very panicked at the moment, but his voice was relatively calm. He looked at the cold-looking girl in front of him and said softly, "Ran Ran, can you forgive my unintentional deception?"
Wei Hanzhang listened to his "explanation" quietly and waited patiently for a while. Seeing that he stopped talking, he calmly said, "If you really need me to forgive you to feel at ease, then I forgive Your Highness."
"Ran Ran!" Xiao Junzhan was used to her coquettish and bold appearance, and had no way to deal with this cold and polite girl in front of him. He simply pulled her hand, led her in front of him, and hugged her in his arms: "Since you forgive me, then..."
The girl's delicate neck was close before his eyes. Xiao Junzhan restrainedly moved his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Then are you willing to enter the East Palace and be my Crown Princess?"
"Your Highness, I love you wrongly. I am so ashamed." Knowing that it was useless to stop him, Wei Hanzhang simply let him hold her and said numbly, "But you really don't need to ask for my opinion. You can just issue an order directly."
Xiao Junzhan was startled, raised his head from her shoulder, and looked at her with a faint tremor in his eyes, "If I want to issue an order directly, why would I have to go through all this trouble with you, Ranran, what I want is for you to nod your head in agreement."
"Is that so?" Wei Hanzhang looked at him for a moment, then suddenly smiled slowly and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. I don't want to."
She was born beautiful, and even more beautiful when seen up close. Xiao Junzhan was mesmerized by her smile and couldn't help but reach out to touch her face, lowering his head and moving closer...
The breath was getting closer and closer. At the critical moment, Wei Hanzhang couldn't help but turn his head away. A slightly cold kiss fell on her cheek. Xiao Junzhan's lips moved, "Ran Ran said that in anger, right?"
She has always had a bad temper. When she found out that she had been deceived for so many days, she must have been very angry. It was not that she really did not want to be his crown princess.
After spending these days together, Xiao Junzhan judged that this girl had no feelings for him at all...
At least she has some love for herself.
Thinking this in his heart, he was unwilling to push her too hard. Xiao Junzhan tried his best to suppress the urge to take her back to the palace. He loosened his arms, looked at her blushing face carefully, and said gently: "Ran Ran is angry with me. What I said just now does not count. I will ask her next time when she calms down."
As soon as he let go, Wei Hanzhang took two steps back, put some distance between them, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Highness, please go back."
Xiao Junzhan stood still, staring at her straight in the eyes, and said, "Don't call me Your Highness, Ranran, call me Boqian."
"Oh?" Wei Hanzhang raised his eyes and laughed at himself: "It turns out that Your Highness once told me the truth."
"Except for the time when you misunderstood my true identity and I didn't explain, I have never said a single false word to you."
Xiao Junzhan was a man of indifferent temperament and noble status. He had never been so helpless because of anyone. Seeing her mocking smile, he felt bitter in his heart. He took a step forward and said, "Ranran, I promise you that I will never hide anything from you in the future, okay?"
It's like this again, with such gentle and bright eyes.
It was with this gentle appearance that he coaxed her... coaxed her into mistakenly believing that he was a playboy with many wives and concubines, and she couldn't help but have some thoughts about him.
