In the carriage, Su Jingyao sat upright on one side, her back straight, her young face still showing the reservedness of meeting an unfamiliar person.
Jun Zechen's eyes were filled with undisguised possessiveness. No matter if she had any memories of their future or not, she was his, forever.
"Miss Su, do you have a man you like?" Jun Zechen suddenly asked.
Don't miss any slight changes on her face.
Su Jingyao was so surprised that her eyes widened instantly. She quickly raised her head, her eyes full of astonishment and confusion.
"I seldom go out, and have never seen many men. Besides, I am still young, and I don't know what love is."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her little hands unconsciously tugged at the handkerchief in her hands, as if she didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would ask such an inappropriate question.
Seeing her so shy and nervous, Jun Zechen thought she was so cute that he couldn't help but tease her.
Was Yaoyao like this when she was a child?
She was so cute that Jun Zechen couldn't suppress the urge to hug her.
"Since Miss Su doesn't have a man she likes, are you willing to be my Crown Princess?"
In a few months, he will go to the frontier to fight, and of course he wants to keep his wife tightly by his side. He doesn't want her to be abducted by someone else when he returns.
Jun Zechen knew how popular she was among the aristocratic families.
Su Jingyao was stunned for a moment, and her cheeks turned red instantly.
"Your Highness, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. I, a servant, cannot make the decision."
There was obvious panic in her voice and she lowered her head even lower, as if she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The little girl was still too shy, so Jun Zechen simply waved his hand and decisively picked up the reserved little girl and put her on his lap.
Su Jingyao was frightened by the sudden action, her beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
She bit her red lips and said coquettishly, "Let me go. I never thought that His Highness would be such a pervert!"
"I fell in love with Miss Su at first sight. Tomorrow I will ask my father, the emperor and my mother for permission to make Miss Su my fiancée."
Jun Zechen hugged her tightly, making her unable to move, and his words were as domineering as ever.
"So let me hug you."
He wrapped his arms around her waist, placed his head on her shoulder, and took a deep breath.
He was feeling her breath, feeling her presence.
Jun Zechen finally saw his Yaoyao again, and his heart seemed to be filled.
Su Jingyao, however, was very upset.
She was only eleven years old, what a pervert!
Jun Zechen hugged her for a while, and then felt warm water droplets dripping on the back of his hand.
Are they her tears?!
Jun Zechen was a little panicked at this point, and quickly turned her head to look at her.
"What's wrong? Don't cry."
"I...I'm scared..." Su Jingyao sobbed.
How could she not be scared when a man she had only met once came up to her and hugged her so frivolously?
"Don't you want to be my Crown Princess?"
Jun Zechen frowned slightly, but spoke in a gentle tone. At the same time, he stretched out his fingers and gently wiped away her tears that kept rolling down.
“I haven’t grown up yet.”
Su Jingyao looked at him aggrievedly.
Jun Zechen chuckled, his laughter full of doting.
"I will marry you when you grow up."
It's just a matter of stamping it now. His people will naturally be protected under his wings.
"Your Highness has never known me, how can you say so casually that you want to marry me?"
Su Jingyao raised her head and looked at him straight with confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
"Isn't I getting to know you now?"
Jun Zechen's eyes were full of patience and concentration.
"Your Highness hugged me today. If it gets out, my reputation will be ruined. Father and mother will also be angry and say that I have disgraced the Su family. I grew up in a boudoir and have never been so intimate with a man."
"It won't be spread out. I won't let Yaoyao's reputation suffer any loss. I'm the only one who can hug you."
"But Your Highness has never asked me whether I like Your Highness." Su Jingyao said dissatisfiedly.
"You are still young and can be easily deceived by other men. From now on, just look at me. I will treat you well for the rest of your life and you will love me."
Jun Zechen knew that every year during the Flower Festival, she would be followed by many young masters from aristocratic families, all of whom were attracted to her. Now that he was reborn, he naturally couldn't let her have anyone in her heart.
She married him because of the imperial edict. Jun Zechen didn't know whether she had liked any other man before. The only person he remembered was the son of Marquis Wu'an.
He is the liar.
The corners of Su Jingyao's mouth twitched.
Jun Zechen then coaxed her and asked, "What kind of man do you like?"
"Something nice that can protect me."
"Whatever Yaoyao likes, I will become that way."
"When you grow up, I will marry you, and only you."
Jun Zechen said firmly.
"Your Highness is lying, you are the prince..."
As she spoke, the little girl's tears could not stop falling, and tears ran down her pink cheeks.
"I am the crown prince. I can do whatever I want."
Jun Zechen's tone became softer and softer. He held her in his arms, trying to give her some comfort.
"Your Highness, I am still young and I still have four years to go before I can reach the age of marriage. During these four years, Your Highness will meet many women. I cannot believe that Your Highness will still like me after four years."
She kept her head down while speaking, her voice soft and sticky.
Jun Zechen was speechless for a moment. Yaoyao's current worries were just like when he said that he cared about her the most and not Ling Yue. No matter what he said, he could not get her trust.
