Chapter 192 You Really Won't Marry Me
Xie Yanzhi looked at Yuan Qing and waved his hand.
Yuan Qing said sullenly, "If it were me, I would try to be more considerate of that woman's wishes."
To consider her wishes? Xie Yanzhi recalled Shen Qingnian's words: "I won't go back with you!"
He immediately rejected that claim.
After a while, Xie Yanzhi saw Shen Qingnian bring some pastries to Xiao Huaiyi.
Xiao Huaiyi held the little dumpling and fed him bite by bite.
Shen Qingnian sat to the side, propping her head up with one hand, looking at the two of them tenderly.
He felt a little irritated again; it was impossible to respect her wishes.
But he might have other methods.
"What if a woman calls you shameless?"
After Xie Yanzhi finished speaking, he quickly looked out the window, pretending to be deep in thought.
Yuan Qing's eyes widened instantly. Without thinking, he blurted out, "Did Miss Qing call you shameless?"
Xie Yanzhi glanced back at Yuan Qing.
Yuan Qing quickly lowered his head: "I mean, there are still women like this who dare to curse... dare to call me shameless!"
“Then I definitely want to…” Xie Yanzhi looked at him with hope.
Yuan Qing would probably be just as angry as him.
“Then I must think about it and find out where the young lady thinks I am shameless, and I will change it!” Yuan Qing said firmly.
Although my grandfather is stubborn and refuses to admit it.
But he certainly couldn't let his master make another mistake!
If you don't change, when will Miss Qing forgive you?
When will you be able to take Miss Qing and the young master back, sir?
Xie Yanzhi glanced at him, then opened his mouth with difficulty: "Gaizhi?"
Xie Yanzhi never thought that he, a dignified prince, would need to change his ways, but Yuan Qing's gaze towards him was filled with unwavering determination.
"Yes, if we don't change, won't we always be disliked by girls?"
Xie Yanzhi frowned.
Yuan Qing glanced outside again: "I see that although Young Master Xiao has feelings for Miss Qing, he is restraining himself and adhering to propriety."
"It's not too late, sir... to win back Miss Qing."
Xie Yanzhi glanced quietly at the three people getting along well in the shop, his eyes darkening as if he had made up his mind.
"Let's go." While Yuan Qing was still in a daze, Xie Yanzhi had already started walking towards the shop.
He quickly followed, but Xie Yanzhi suddenly stopped and looked thoughtfully at the street vendors.
"Little dumpling!"
As Xie Yanzhi reached the door, he called out to Chen Nuonuo.
"Uncle!" As soon as Shen Nuonuo saw Xie Yanzhi, she quickly got off Xiao Huaiyi's lap and ran towards Xie Yanzhi.
After all, Xie Yanzhi was holding the large sugar figurine he had always wanted.
Shen Qingnian reached out to stop her, but it was too late. She could only see the small figure rush into Xie Yanzhi's arms.
Xie Yanzhi handed the sugar figurine to Shen Nuonuo and then picked her up in his arms.
Holding the sugar figurine, Shen Nuonuo said sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle."
Xie Yanzhi was surprised by Nuonuo's reaction, and his heart warmed.
Shen Qingnian never expected that Nuonuo would be so close to Xie Yanzhi.
Is it really because he is his biological father?
Xie Yanzhi picked up Shen Nuonuo and looked at Xiao Huaiyi with a provocative look in his eyes.
When Xiao Huaiyi saw Xie Yanzhi enter, he was somewhat shocked. He looked at Shen Qingnian with complicated emotions, and Shen Qingnian sighed.
She was just about to tell Xiao Huaiyi that Xie Yanzhi had discovered her and her child.
But with Chen Nuonuo constantly around, it wasn't appropriate to say anything in front of the child. However, she didn't expect Xie Yanzhi to come again today.
She had already made such a resolute statement last time, so why wouldn't he give up?
"Your Highness!" Xiao Huaiyi stood up first and bowed.
Xie Yanzhi, carrying Shen Nuonuo, walked over and sat down next to Shen Qingnian. Looking at Xiao Huaiyi opposite him, he said, "Huaiyi, did you come to see my wife today?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian immediately looked at Xie Yanzhi and said, "Young Master, don't talk nonsense."
Xie Yanzhi showed no annoyance, but instead smiled gently, reaching out to gently pinch Shen Qingnian's soft, round face before looking up at her:
"When did I talk nonsense?"
As she spoke, she brought her face close to Nuonuo's and looked at Shen Qingnian: "Don't we look alike?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian's fingertips curled slightly, but she didn't seem particularly surprised.
It wouldn't be difficult for Xie Yanzhi to find out about Nuonuo's background.
All you need to do is check the household registration records at the government office.
She just felt that Xie Yanzhi seemed a little different today.
Seeing the father and son's faces pressed together again, she felt a pang of regret.
If I hadn't been soft-hearted and kept the child back then, perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess today.
Nuonuo, licking the sugar figurine, looked at Xie Yanzhi and asked, "Mother, do I look like Uncle?"
The little boy only thought that his uncle was very handsome, even more handsome than Uncle Xiao.
If he really looks like Uncle Xie, wouldn't he be a very handsome child?
Hearing Shen Nuonuo ask this question, Shen Qingnian was speechless for a moment.
Shen Nuonuo and he do look very alike.
"Huaiyi, what do you think?" Xie Yanzhi asked Xiao Huaiyi when Shen Qingnian did not answer.
Xiao Huaiyi knew perfectly well that Xie Yanzhi was deliberately making things difficult for him; clearly, he already knew that Nuonuo was his child.
Xiao Huaiyi glanced at Shen Qingnian and saw that her complexion was not good, so he couldn't help but worry about her.
Shen Qingnian was also aware of Xie Yanzhi's intentions; he wanted to embarrass Xiao Huaiyi in front of her.
Nuonuo doesn't know who her father is yet, and she absolutely cannot let Xie Yanzhi say anything inappropriate in front of the child.
Shen Qingnian took a deep breath and said to Xiao Huaiyi, "Young Master Xiao, you should go back first."
Xiao Huaiyi felt a pang of pity seeing her trying so hard to remain calm.
But he also knew that staying would only make things more difficult for her.
He nodded and said, "If Madam Su needs anything, she can come to the inn to find me."
With a faint smile on her lips, Shen Qingnian saw Xiao Huaiyi out the door.
After Xiao Huaiyi left, Shen Qingnian saw Xie Yanzhi, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want?"
Seeing her annoyed expression, Xie Yanzhi slowly stood up and said to Nuonuo, "Nuonuo, be good, go play for a while."
He then gestured for Yuan Qing to take Nuonuo away.
Yuan Qing immediately took out a small mechanical device from his pocket and said, "Young master, let's play with this."
Nuonuo was drawn to what Yuan Qing was holding, and looked up at Shen Qingnian with anticipation in her eyes.
Shen Qingnian nodded at him.
She didn't want Shen Nuonuo to hear Xie Yanzhi's nonsense.
Shen Nuonuo immediately went to play in front of the shop with Yuan Qing.
Seeing Shen Qingnian's impatient expression, Xie Yanzhi put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "Let's get married. I'll make you my Crown Princess."
Shen Qingnian stared at him with wide eyes, looking at his condescending manner: "Your Highness, this humble woman dares not covet the position of Your Highness's consort. I hope Your Highness will not speak nonsense again."
Seeing her refusal, Xie Yanzhi glanced at the little dumpling not far away and said, "Shen Qingnian, you even gave birth to my child, don't you really have me in your heart?"
Shen Qingnian said calmly:
"Your Highness has misunderstood. Giving birth to Nuonuo was a last resort."
“I originally wanted to have an abortion that day, but the doctor said that I was weak and that it would be difficult for me to get pregnant again in the future, so I kept Nuonuo.”
Xie Yanzhi looked at Shen Qingnian and saw that she looked serious and didn't seem to be lying. Her hands, which were behind her back, were clenched into fists.
"You really won't marry me?"
He stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Shen Qingnian's shoulder, unconsciously increasing the pressure.
