Chapter 207: Don’t cheat
Su Jingyao chewed the food slowly in her mouth, her beautiful eyes wide open, staring at Jun Zechen with anger in her eyes.
It seems to be asking: What do you mean?
After she finally swallowed it, she pursed her lips, with obvious dissatisfaction on her face.
"Are you really going to find Chu Yinxue?"
Jun Zechen glanced at her sideways, with a hint of suspicion in his tone.
"You don't believe me?" Su Jingyao asked back righteously.
"Whatever, go ahead."
Su Jingyao picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth gracefully, then turned around to see that he had a blank expression on his face.
With a hint of tentativeness in his eyes, he said, "Then I'm leaving."
Jun Zechen remained indifferent, like a sculpture, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
Are you angry?
Su Jingyao felt an urge to tease him, so she stood up and bent slightly.
She gave him a quick kiss on the lips, as quick as a dragonfly touching the water.
"I'm leaving now. I will miss Brother Zechen."
Su Jingyao had a playful smile, but her eyes were cunning.
After the kiss, he quickly walked towards the door.
Jun Zechen stared at her back.
Couldn't she see that he was angry?
You want to leave after you kiss him?
Jun Zechen stood up, quickly picked up Su Jingyao from behind, and held her tightly with his arms.
"I think you need a lesson. Yaoyao is fourteen this year. Why don't we make it public? I will ask my father for permission to grant me marriage. One year later, you will marry my future crown princess. During this year, my mother will not allow me to take a concubine."
"Don't go back to Su Mansion today."
Jun Zechen's eyes were deep and dark.
"Brother Zechen, don't joke. If I go back too late, my mother will be suspicious. Let me go."
"Then tell me, why don't you let me take you back home?"
Jun Zechen held her hand without any sign of loosening, staring at her with burning eyes, waiting for her answer.
Seeing how serious he was, Su Jingyao knew it was hard to fool him, so she had no choice but to tell the truth.
"I made an appointment with a subordinate who was managing my shop outside to ask about something..."
Her voice became quieter and quieter, and she lowered her head slightly.
"Brother Zechen, you also know that I have set up some businesses in Beijing. Go find him to find out the situation."
Su Jingyao raised her head and looked at Jun Zechen, muttering to herself, why is it not easy to lie now?
Subordinates?
Jun Zechen frowned and looked at her sharply. Could it be Li Jin?
"Male or female?"
Jun Zechen's voice was low, with a hint of oppression.
Su Jingyao looked embarrassed, her eyes were erratic, she didn't dare to look him in the eye, she said hesitantly: "Men..."
At this moment, Jun Zechen was almost certain that it was Li Jin, and he said firmly: "You are not allowed to go."
"Brother Zechen, I really have something to ask him..."
"Then I will go with you."
Su Jingyao had no choice but to nod and agree, knowing that she couldn't persuade him.
Afterwards, the two of them got on the carriage together and drove towards Mofeng Tower.
When they arrived at Mofeng Tower, Su Jingyao took Jun Zechen to the third floor through another more hidden passage because she didn't want to run into her brother and Chu Yinxue.
The two of them went straight into Su Jingyao's private room, and after a while, Li Jin came and knocked on the door.
The door was pushed open, and as soon as Li Jin walked in, he saw the Crown Prince affectionately hugging his young lady's waist.
His eyes flickered for a moment, and his heart tensed up, but he quickly returned to normal.
Jun Zechen saw Li Jin with sharp eyes. As expected, it was still him.
"Your Highness, my lady."
Li Jin bowed respectfully and greeted him. In this life, Su Jingyao never agreed to let Li Jin call her "Master" again, and only let him call her "Miss".
"Sit down."
Su Jingyao raised her hand slightly.
"Miss, Ye Yaqin has always known that you have been traveling between the Princess's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion this year."
Li Jin's expression was serious.
"But you rejected her invitations to many banquets this year, and even didn't attend any other banquets. Maybe that's why she never found a chance to deal with you."
Jun Zechen frowned after hearing this.
He originally thought that she was looking for Li Jin to talk about business matters, but unexpectedly the topic suddenly turned to Ye Yaqin.
"Someone is following me, why didn't you tell me?"
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Jun Zechen's voice.
She asked Li Jin to help her solve these problems, why didn't she ask him?
Jun Zechen would send someone to protect her safety whenever she left the house, but he would not pay special attention to whether anyone was following her.
It was a coincidence that Su Jingyao discovered that she was being followed. The person who was following her was extremely smart. Not only was he very far away, but because her travel routes were relatively fixed, the person who was following her would not follow her all the time, but would only wait for her in certain places she would definitely pass by.
Su Jingyao leaned on Jun Zechen and flirted with him in a low voice.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that you are so charming that all the ladies in the capital want to be your crown princess."
"Now that they know that I may have been secretly in collusion with the prince, they must be thinking of ways to harm me behind my back."
"Miss, I heard from Master Su that Madam Su is planning to hold a banquet for you in half a month. Ye Yaqin will be there at the time. Miss, you'd better take precautions early."
Li Jin looked solemn and spoke seriously.
"Banquet?"
Jun Zechen's brows furrowed even deeper.
"Why haven't I heard Yaoyao mention it before?"
Su Jingyao's heart tightened. Oh no, Jun Zechen didn't know yet.
"Li Jin, you go down first."
Su Jingyao gave instructions quickly, with a hint of panic in her eyes.
"Yes, miss."
Li Jin responded, stood up and left the box.
After Li Jin left, Su Jingyao hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.
"My mother held the banquet so that I could choose a future husband from among the young men in the capital before I came of age..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller, like a mosquito, and she did not dare to look at Jun Zechen's expression.
Since Ye Yaqin already knew everything, she and Jun Zechen wouldn't be able to keep the affair a secret for long, so she might as well take advantage of the banquet her mother hosted for her to make it public.
Su Jingyao felt the force on her waist increasing.
She panicked and could only try to please him quickly.
"Brother Zechen, you will come too, right? Can I choose you then?"
She raised her head with a sweet smile on her face.
Jun Zechen finally loosened his grip, and his tense expression relaxed a little.
"You hid so many things from me!"
There was still some anger in Jun Zechen's voice.
"I didn't intend to hide it from you. I just wanted to write an invitation letter in person and send it to your Prince's Mansion."
Su Jingyao's voice was soft and sticky, with a hint of grievance.
But Li Jin had told her about it in advance, and she felt helpless.
Jun Zechen's complexion looked better.
"You are not allowed to meet any man alone from now on." Jun Zechen looked serious and spoke in a firm tone.
However, he was not interested in women in front of anyone. He did not even have a maid to serve him. He was also obedient and served in daily life.
She naturally has to do it too.
Su Jingyao nodded helplessly. In fact, she seldom saw Li Jin anymore. If they could communicate through letters, she would not meet Li Jin in private.
Su Jingyao had never seen Li Jin since his southern tour in his previous life, and she didn't know how he lived in the end or whether he got married. She hoped that he could have fewer obsessions in this life.
