Chapter 359: Come back to Tianqi with me, okay?
Chu Jin was extremely shocked. His voice trembled as if he was holding a rare treasure. He rested his forehead against Manluo's belly and whispered:
"Son, you heard what Daddy said, didn't you? You know Daddy is here to look for you and your son, right?"
Manluo felt a pang of pain in her nose as she watched the scene in front of her.
Although the man in front of me is hateful, he is the father of the baby in my belly after all.
When Chu Jin stood up, his eyes were slightly red, and the look he gave Manluo became increasingly fiery. He reached out and hugged her again, speaking incoherently:
"Manluo, look, he recognizes me! Our son recognizes me!"
He lowered his head and placed a heavy kiss on the top of her head, his voice filled with pleading:
"Come back with me, okay? I'll protect you and your mother well, and I won't let anyone hurt you again, okay?"
Manluo let out a long sigh and did not answer the question:
"Didn't you go back to Tianqi? Why are you in Jiangdu again?"
Chu Jin sighed slightly:
"You're in Jiangdu. How could I leave so easily? After escorting His Highness out of Liuzhou, I returned. But the Jiangdu Imperial Palace is heavily guarded. I tried several times but couldn't get in. I had no choice but to find this small courtyard in Jiangdu City and stay there for the time being."
His big hands gently stroked Manluo's belly, his eyes becoming softer:
"I guess you're a restless person. If you've been cooped up in the palace for too long, you'll definitely want to go out and wander around. So, I wander around the palace every day, and sure enough, I actually ran into you today. Manluo, do you know how excited I was the moment I saw you in the street? I was so happy to see that the child was still safe and sound in your belly?"
Manluo's eyes trembled slightly, and there was still a trace of emotion in her heart.
This fool, risking his life, stayed around the Jiangdu Palace for more than two months.
Seeing that Manluo was silent, Chu Jin asked again the question she had not answered just now:
"Manluo, please, come back to Tianqi with me."
Manluo's expression suddenly turned cold:
"Go back with you? Let me and the child wander around under the noses of Su Qinyao, Helian Feng and the others. Aren't you afraid that they will harm me and the child?"
Chu Jin's expression suddenly changed:
"No! As long as you come back with me, they will know that you are the love of my life and they will definitely not harm you. Especially, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I have known each other since childhood and are as close as brothers. If you marry me, no one will harm you!"
Manluo sneered:
"In my eyes, Helian Feng is a hypocrite. He even dared to kill his own father. What else can he not do?"
"Manluo, you know that the person His Highness wants to kill is not His Majesty."
"I wanted to kill Xiao Nanyan, but ended up killing Helian Cong by mistake. But taking advantage of someone's misfortune and secretly killing him is not what a gentleman does. If you follow someone like him, what good will you expect?"
Manluo's voice became colder and colder, with ice in her eyes:
"The past few months I've been in Nanzhao have been the most peaceful days of my life. There's no need to lick blood on the edge of a knife, no need to scheme, the Southern Emperor and the Southern Empress treat me like their own daughter, and whatever Xiyan has, I will never miss out on.
I eat well and sleep well here, why should I take the child back with you? Not to mention whether Helian Feng will tolerate me, will Xiao Nanyan let you go? One day, he will flatten Chiyu Peak. Do you want me and the child to die with you? "
Chu Jin's face became even more anxious, and his Adam's apple rolled:
"Manluo, you believe in me, and you also believe in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! He has been operating in Tianqi for many years, and his connections are unshakable. Xiao Nanyan is a traitor, and Helian Ji is even more stubborn. Sooner or later, His Royal Highness will restore order and regain imperial power."
"Loyalty is commendable."
Manluo sneered, her eyes full of mockery:
"But what should I do? I just hate Helian Feng, I hate Su Qinyao, and I hate that bitch Helian Shu even more! When I see them, I want to kill them. Tell me, how should you and I live like this?"
Chu Jin hugged her tighter, his voice almost pleading:
"Then I'll hide you somewhere where no one can find you, so you won't see them and feel upset, okay?"
Manluo looked at him as if he were a fool, her lips trembling with anger:
"Chu Jin, who's stupider, you or me? I'm living a secret life with you instead of enjoying the good life in Nan Zhao? It seems like we're not on the same path at all."
She took a deep breath and pushed him:
"Go away! Before the Southern Emperor's men find out, quickly get back to your Apocalypse and find your master. Don't bother me anymore!"
Seeing that she was unmoved, Chu Jin's expression suddenly changed. With red eyes, he pressed her shoulders.
"You're pregnant with my child, yet you refuse to come with me... Could it be that, besides kinship and sisterly love, there's something else about Nan Zhao that keeps you hanging on so long? Or are you attracted to that bastard Xie Zhan?"
