Jiang Ning obediently closed her mouth, turned a page of the book, and lowered her head to read.
Li Hongyuan stepped forward, snatched her book away and threw it far away: “I’m talking to you!”
Jiang Ning looked somewhat innocent: “Weren’t you the one who told me to shut up? Do I need to close my eyes too?”
“You! Believe it or not, I’ll hit you!”
Li Hongyuan clenched his fist, so angry that his temples throbbed.
Jiang Ning smoothed her skirt, changed her lying position, lightly touched her belly, and then looked at him: “Hit me then.”contemporary romance
Li Hongyuan:”…”
This woman’s expression was too infuriating.
The two stared at each other.
After a long time, Jiang Ning turned over, showing her back to him, “I won’t play with you anymore, I’m sleepy and want to rest.”
Li Hongyuan: “…Do you think your behavior is fun? Nanny Wei used to serve by the side of your concubine mother. If this gets out, do you know how many bad reputations you will attract? Even if you have no shame, the Prince of Yu Mansion still needs some!”
Jiang Ning said: “I just hate those who rely on their age to bully others. I will hit such a wicked servant who bullies their master so that she knows who the real master is here.”
“A master who wantonly insults her subordinates will only be laughed at by others.”
“A master who is bullied by her subordinates will be the one laughed at.”
“Every time I say something, you have a retort. Jiang Ning, can’t you just behave?” Li Hongyuan took a breath, “Since you are carrying my child, just stay in the backyard honestly and don’t cause trouble. Maybe, in the future, you can personally raise the child.”
Jiang Ning turned to look at him.
Li Hongyuan frowned: “But if you keep making people annoyed and causing trouble, I can’t possibly hand the child over to you.”
“So you mean, now I am just a vessel to carry the child, and once the child is born, it has nothing to do with me, right?”
“It depends on your performance.”
“Alright then.” She stopped talking.
Li Hongyuan said coldly: “I will personally explain the matter today to the concubine mother. I don’t want to see anything similar happening again. You better watch yourself!”
He turned around and left.
Just as he reached the door, a pillow was thrown at his feet.
He glanced down but didn’t respond and walked away.
“Where is the emperor’s eldest grandson?” He asked Huang Ying.
“His Highness the emperor’s eldest grandson is asleep in the side room.”
Li Hongyuan walked over and gently pushed the door open.
Unexpectedly, he woke Xiaoqian up.
He sat up, rubbing his eyes, his soft and hoarse voice saying: “Fifth Imperial Uncle.”
Li Hongyuan’s eyes softened, and he walked over, touching Xiaoqian’s forehead and the back of his heart, saying, “Why did you fall asleep here? Let your Imperial Uncle take you back.”
“I’ll just sleep here.” Li Tingqian held his hand, “Fifth Imperial Uncle, will that be alright?”
Li Hongyuan caught a glimpse of the red marks on his wrist exposed from his sleeve, quickly picked it up and looked carefully.
It was clearly a mark from being restrained.
He darkened his face and asked, “How did this happen?”
“Nanny Wei.”
“You mean Nanny Wei hurt your hand?”
“Yes.” Li Tingqian nodded, “I didn’t want to leave, but Nanny Wei insisted on dragging me away. Aunt got angry and let Xiaoman’s sister hit her.”
Li Hongyuan was slightly stunned: “Your Aunt punished Nanny Wei because she dragged you?”
“Yes. Aunt also blew on my wrist, saying a man should not be afraid of pain.” Li Tingqian raised his hand, his innocent smile appearing, “Fifth Imperial Uncle, look, ever since my mother and father left, no one has ever blown on my wrist like this. Aunt also coaxed me to sleep and told me stories..”
