Chapter 304 Second Update
Zheng Nianru suddenly grabbed onto Zheng Congyuan’s hand, but the next moment, she slowed down her pace, as if she was naturally moved by the man’s words.
"Mm, with brother here, what else do I have to worry about?" Zheng Nianru nodded her head earnestly, as if the action of grabbing the hand was meant to underline what she wanted to say.
Zheng Congyuan wanted to pull back his hand, but the soft pads of her fingers pressed upon his, and Zheng Congyuan looked down to see Zheng Nianru’s pair of serious and earnest eyes.
Zheng Congyuan was momentarily dazed; he had thought wrong – Nian Ru’s joy and hatred only lasted a moment and were always evident on her face, even her lies came with a distinctive expression, which he could clearly see and easily discern.
So, the young girl before him was merely trying to seriously communicate that she wasn’t worried.
Zheng Congyuan suddenly felt it was not enough; he needed to distract his mind.
"You also need not worry about Zong Sheng Residence, when the opportunity comes, I will bestow you with a noble title even higher than that of the Princely Heir. Seeing the face of the Zheng Imperial Family, the Zong Sheng Aristocratic Family would not make things difficult for you," Zheng Congyuan continued to speak.
"Brother, what don’t you know?" Zheng Nianru said, showing a deflated expression, as if her little schemes had been found out.
Zheng Congyuan gave a silent laugh, belatedly catching on; Nian Ru would naturally not treat herself unfairly when it came to things like her dowry, which would only make more sense after it was handled by Prince Duan. Even if there were troubles in the future, she, Zheng Nianru, wouldn’t need to rely on the Zong Sheng Residence to make a living.
"Brother, you don’t know, today I was jostled by a guard of the Imperial Forest Guard; it still hurts a bit. If you don’t believe me, touch here," Zheng Nianru suddenly spoke up, as if the motion of turning her waist had reminded her of the injury there, and she directly placed Zheng Congyuan’s hand, which she had been holding onto, at her waist.
Zheng Congyuan’s head roared, instinctively wanting to retract his hand, but the softness of her fingertips was already pressing on his fingertips; the softness at her waist immediately overwhelmed all of his senses.
