Chapter 190 Second Update
"Alright, alright, I’ll stay with you until you fall asleep tonight, and tomorrow you can make a list of the things you want and send it to me," Zheng Congyuan dared not force his way, especially since the person on him was clinging to him like an octopus with arms and legs entwined.
"I don’t want to." Zheng Nianru fussed but was clear-headed, enjoying the current Zheng Congyuan—this was her Brother Crown Prince.
"Then I will leave right now." Zheng Congyuan finally caught the hands of the person in his arms, looked at her without delving into her fake cries, and clung to him in his moment of panic.
Zheng Nianru did not believe it, and during her struggle, she intentionally loosened her collar to reveal a faint bruise on her neck, which caught Zheng Congyuan’s eyes. Immediately, he forgot what he had just said. His grip on Zheng Nianru weakened almost completely.
Zheng Nianru freed her hands and pulled on Zheng Congyuan’s lapels to wipe her tears. Zheng Congyuan wanted to move but restrained himself.
She had been frightened quite a bit today, and her clinging to him was understandable, yet the thought of that bruise made Zheng Congyuan clench his fists. This matter could not end here, even if he was reluctant to deal with the people from Qiandao Temple; it was time to step in.
The night was more than half over. Zheng Nianru, tired from clinging, slowly lay back on the bed, and while fussing, had Zheng Congyuan sit by her side, fanning her, but overwhelmed by the day’s exhaustion, soon fell asleep.
Nian Xia had quietly come in to take over fanning from Zheng Congyuan.
When Zheng Congyuan left the Qishun Building, Qi Ling and Qi Zhu immediately followed him.
