Fu Junheng continued, "In return, I hope Princess Weiyang will fulfill the promise you made."
Mu Chenshuang stared at him intently and said coldly, "Of course."
The conversation between the two became nothing more than a transaction devoid of any emotion. Fu Junheng's aura returned to its usual coldness and aloofness.
Mu Chenshuang stared at him with only indifference and coldness.
In an instant.
The atmosphere became unusually quiet.
Mu Chenshuang withdrew her gaze, suppressing a certain unbearable feeling in her heart, and said coldly, "If Crown Prince Junheng has nothing else to say, I'll be leaving now."
Fu Junheng stood still and did not stop him anymore.
On her way back to the restaurant, Mu Chenshuang encountered Shen Nanzhi, who had come looking for her.
"Shuang'er, are you alright?" Shen Nanzhi asked with concern as he looked at him.
Mu Chenshuang shook her head slightly and said, "I'm fine. How are you feeling now?"
"It's all over now. I just ran into Qi Ye. He was looking for you and said it was urgent."
Mu Chenshuang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"I don't know, he's waiting outside."
Mu Chenshuang didn't ask any more questions. Qi Ye must have come in such a hurry because there was something urgent.
Shen Nanzhi followed Mu Chenshuang downstairs and left, paying the silver along the way.
Mu Chenshuang walked out of the restaurant and saw Qi Ye standing outside waiting. She went up to him and asked, "Qi Ye, what happened?"
Qi Ye replied, "A young apprentice from Doctor Li's pharmacy has come to the Marquis's residence and said that your aunt has caused trouble for Doctor Li, and hopes that you will go there immediately."
Mu Chenshuang frowned. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lu Wei was still able to cause trouble for Doctor Li, but she could vaguely guess what it was about.
"Let's go take a look first."
The three then left the restaurant.
As Feng Ji was going downstairs, he saw the three people leaving in a hurry.
Then Feng Ji went out through the back door of the restaurant and saw Fu Junheng standing on the shore. His tall and proud back made him seem even more suffocating than usual.
Feng Ji stepped forward and looked at Fu Junheng's cold and icy face. It was as if all his emotions and feelings had been sealed by ice. There was no more displeasure or irritability in his eyes, only an aura of indifference that was even colder than before.
Feng Ji couldn't help but wonder what had happened between him and Mu Chenshuang.
"Mu Chenshuang's guards came looking for her, something must have happened. They've already left," Feng Ji said, while observing Fu Junheng's expression and reaction, but there was no longer any emotional fluctuation, only indifference.
Fu Junheng's handsome face seemed to be covered with frost, and he coldly ordered, "From now on, you only need to ensure the safety of the child in her womb."
The implication was that he would no longer care about Mu Chenshuang's affairs, nor did he want to know anything about them anymore.
Feng Ji frowned. Jun Heng had decided to completely sever ties with Mu Chenshuang and go back to the beginning. He had thought that Jun Heng would seize the opportunity to ease the tension between him and Mu Chenshuang.
However, he was not surprised by the outcome. Junheng's calmness, rationality, cold-bloodedness, and decisiveness were simply the decisions that were in his nature.
How could his affection for Mu Chenshuang possibly compete with the interests and goals in his heart?
For him, Mu Chenshuang was probably just a seasoning.
Feng Ji didn't ask any further questions. He lowered his eyes and looked away, saying, "In that case, I hope you won't regret it one day, Jun Heng."
Fu Junheng stared into the distance with icy eyes, not responding to Feng Ji's words.
