Chapter 29 Jealousy
"...Ah?"
Ning Yuan looked at the bowl of medicine, and suddenly wanted to spit it all out.
She lowered her head and looked at her relatively flat belly. She had already imagined that a small bud had inexplicably grown where the bitter medicine had been poured. The small bud grew bigger and bigger, and finally became a child, making her belly bulge.
She took a deep breath, her brows wrinkled deeply, and when she raised her eyes again, her black and white eyes were full of seriousness.
She whispered, "You put it in?"
This sentence was a little difficult for Shen Yan to understand.
He did nothing, and naturally didn't know what she meant by "put it in".
So he used silence instead of answering.
However, such silence fell into Ning Yuan's eyes, and became tacit consent.
In addition, seeing the doubt in his eyes, she immediately recalled Shen Yan's usual tone: "What do you think? You even ask such a question?"
Her expression became subtle.
... She was careless.
Shen Yan had been clamoring to marry her in the first place, and now that he had this opportunity, he was probably thinking of quickly making it a done deal with her.
By then, she would have to marry him whether she wanted to or not, otherwise she would be condemned by all the people.
But in fact, she didn't think so.
The Chinese medicine thing was not her wish, and she had to find a man for the antidote.
She didn't want to use this matter as a condition to hold each other hostage.
Therefore, she would rather the two of them pretend that nothing had happened and keep this matter secret.
She tightened her face and said seriously: "I tell you, I will not get pregnant with you before falling in love with you."
After thinking for a while, she added: "Marriage before falling in love is not okay either."
Shen Yan's eyes were more confused.
...What the hell is she talking about?
"In short, unless I am willing, you can get my body but not my heart!"
Shen Yan frowned for a long time and asked in a low voice: "What do I need your heart for?"
Shen Yan always felt that the phrase "give you my heart" was very empty.
People's hearts cannot be dug out.
If they are dug out, people will become corpses.
Ning Yuan suddenly widened her eyes: "You you you..."
Then she exhaled a breath of death and leaned on the bed.
Yes, for him, as long as her body cannot escape from his palm, it's enough, right?
It's written in the storybook.
As long as a man can tie up his beloved woman to his side, it doesn't matter whether he makes soup for her cold face or warm face, in short, the purpose of making soup is achieved.
She suddenly jumped off the bed and said fiercely: "In short... I won't let you succeed!"
"I'm going back home."
"I'll send someone to take you." He said lightly, "and... you should read less novels in the future."
Ning Yuan sat in the carriage with several packets of prepared herbs on her side.
She felt upset when she remembered that Shen Yan said this was a pregnancy-preserving medicine.
She had been avoiding this marriage from the beginning. How come she and Shen Yan got closer and closer while avoiding it?
What if she really got pregnant with his child?
She is an unmarried girl, and a daughter of an aristocratic family. If she asks a doctor outside to check if she is pregnant, the news will spread in the capital within a day.
But the doctors in the mansion will never hide it from her father and stepmother, and will only tell her.
If Mingwei knew that she had a love affair with Shen Yan, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause.
In her current situation, it is difficult for her to even find a doctor to check her pulse, let alone get rid of the child if she is really pregnant.
This book is exclusively compiled by the LK team. All of this is to blame on the eldest princess and her unlucky son Zhao Zhihuan!
Back home, she took out the "Revenge Record" which had not been named for a long time, and wrote the names of the two on a new page.
One of them was so thoughtful for his son that he was willing to sacrifice his reputation as an innocent girl; the other was so licentious that he ruined countless innocent people.
It would be great if the evil deeds of these two people could be exposed to the sun one day.
She couldn't afford to offend the eldest princess, but it would not be difficult to secretly investigate Zhao Zhihuan's concubines.
Since he was a playboy, he would inevitably spend his days drinking and partying. The best place to wait for such a person was the most luxurious Baihua Tower in the capital.
After dinner at night, she asked Zhuxing to put on her clothes and stay in the room, while she quietly changed into men's clothes, climbed out of the dog hole in the courtyard wall, went straight to Baihua Tower, chose a seat near the gate, and pretended to order wine.
Just as she was about to drink it, she suddenly remembered the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine.
... What if she really got pregnant?
This would be bad for her health.
So she ordered another pot of tea.
She waited for an unknown amount of time until she was almost sleepy, and finally saw a group of men escorting Zhao Zhihuan up the stairs and heading straight to the guest room.
She held her breath, planning to wait for him to come out and then follow him, so that she could probably find out where his mistress lived.
She glanced casually, but inadvertently saw someone who shouldn't be here.
Shen Yan.
Why is he here?
Oh, maybe not. It's
just that she subconsciously thought that someone like him would not come to such a noisy place, but in fact he was very familiar with the place.
Ning Yuan stared at his back, watching her mother, who was smiling brightly, leading the way in front of Shen Yan, as if she were a familiar customer. Finally, the two of them disappeared at the corner of the third floor.
Third floor?
If she remembered correctly, Zhao Zhihuan also came to the third floor.
... He didn't come here to drink and have fun, but to find someone.
... Because of her?
At that time, he didn't admit that he didn't like her...
He simply liked it to death! This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team. Perhaps it was because Shen Yan was there that gave her courage, and then she mustered up the courage to go to the third floor.
The room on the south side was exactly the blind spot of her vision when she was sitting on the first floor, and Shen Yan and he both went there. There
were only three or five rooms, so it was not difficult to find.
She put her ear to the door and listened to each room one by one, and finally heard Shen Yan's praise.
"It's really interesting."
She was about to knock on the door, thinking about how to greet Shen Yan later, but she heard another voice.
It was not Zhao Zhihuan, but a charming and seductive girl. She smiled and replied, "As long as you like it, sir."
Ning Yuan's hand suddenly sank as she was about to knock on the door, and her heart was a little flustered for a moment.
Fortunately, she did not push the door open without permission, and fortunately, she did not have time to knock on the door...
It turned out that he was not here to see Zhao Zhihuan, but really came to drink wine.
She hurried downstairs.
After sitting back in her original seat, she hurriedly drank a sip of tea, but she could not suppress her increasingly irritable heart.
Time went back to when Shen Yan just stepped into this guest room.
The girl in the room was a spy trained by the Shen family. Seeing him walking steadily, she hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Shen Yan sat down calmly: "Did the princess get suspicious about the wine exchange?"
She smiled and said: "If nothing happened to Miss Ning that night, I think the princess would really get suspicious."
"She made such a fuss, the princess thought she was really drugged, but you found out first."
"I guess she was afraid that you would not give up... so she did not make things difficult for the maid who poured the wine that day, but instead shrank her head and acted like a turtle."
At this point, she couldn't help laughing.
"Miss Ning is really interesting."
Shen Yan remembered how she tried her best to save herself that day, and how she was furious when he lied to her that it was a pregnancy-preserving drug. The indifference in her eyes dissipated a little, and a smile that she had not noticed appeared.
"It's really interesting."
The girl was very good at observing people's words and expressions, and followed his words and said, "As long as you like it."
Like it?
Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, and did not refute her words as before, but tried to ask himself in his heart.
Does he like her?
Then he suddenly heard her inner voice-"It turns out that he is not here to find Zhao Zhihuan, but really comes to drink and have fun." It
sounded a bit inexplicably lost.
He looked out the door, and suddenly felt more happy.
He knew that in fact, she had always been thinking about him in her heart.
Other men were just inns where she passed by temporarily, and only he was her eternal home.
He did not come here today to find Zhao Zhihuan, and solving his problem would not solve the problem at all.
Zhao Zhihuan is just a good-for-nothing son in the mansion, and his tyrannical and powerful mother is the real boss.
But he is not here to drink and have fun.
This brothel is one of his family's industries, and he comes here to get some information from these good-for-nothing sons or good-for-nothing fathers.
If it weren't for his permission, would Ning Yuan really think that her ability to disguise herself as a man is enough to deceive the prostitute who spends all day in the entertainment industry?
*
Ning Yuan sat alone and drank tea.
It's strange, why does she care who Shen Yan looks for?
He can look for whoever he wants, what does it have to do with her.
...It can't be that she fell in love with him after having a love affair with him?
How is this possible.
Then her eyes fell to her lower abdomen, and she thought of another situation. It is said
that after a child enters the mother's body, the mother's state of mind will change, making the mother want to do her best to care for its growth.
Could it be that it felt that it did not want Shen Yan to take this responsibility, and that it would become a fatherless child as soon as it was born, so it hinted that she actually liked him?
Well, that's probably it.
This reason quickly convinced Ning Yuan, and she felt a little better. She stroked her belly and said to herself: "Although you still don't understand human language, I hope you can understand that having no father is not a terrible thing. The most terrible thing is to have a scumbag father."
Just like her father.
As soon as she finished speaking, a calm voice rang beside her.
"Miss Ning, are you talking about me?"
She suddenly raised her head, only to see Shen Yan sitting down without any hesitation, pouring her a cup of tea to relieve her sorrow. This book is exclusively organized by the LK team for you. Her mood, which had just been somewhat unblocked, became blocked again.
"How do you know I'm here? Aren't you accompanying the beauty?"
"How do you know I'm accompanying the beauty?"
Shen Yan looked at her, holding the teacup.
He wanted to wait for Ning Yuan to take the initiative to admit that she actually cared about him, so he deliberately followed and eavesdropped on their conversation.
Unexpectedly, the girl in front of him met his gaze, her cheeks flushed strangely, her eyes seemed to be a little angry, she stood up and said: "... You lecher, you just came out of someone else's room and you tease me here!"
"... When did I tease you?"
He put down the teacup, with some confusion in his eyes.
"You, you just praised me as a beauty, but you deny it in the blink of an eye?"
"..."
Shen Yan was choked by her for a moment, and said calmly: "Well, you are indeed a beauty."
Shen Yan felt that he has always been an objective person.
He has never denied that Ning Yuan is a beauty, so he can naturally say it frankly.
Ning Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment.
She tried to read some irony in Shen Yan's face, but she felt that he looked frank and didn't seem to be joking.
...What did he mean?
But her original nameless anger was indeed weakened a lot.
"...Don't think I will forgive you just because you flatter me."
The girl's black hair was tied up high, but then drooped down beside her shoulders, just like her somewhat gloomy look.
"Forgive me?" Shen Yan lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the girl's slightly raised red lips, "Miss Ning, are you jealous?"
