无翼乌工口里番无色无摭挡

It was a look she had never shown when facing him before.

This hurt Li Hongyuan deeply.

The tender thoughts that had welled up in his heart vanished in an instant.

But he wasn’t willing to let her go just like that.

He still held her down, coldly and fiercely kissing her.

Because of his ferocity, he even bit her lips, causing them to bleed.

Her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.

“Ouch!” Jiang Ning pushed him away with punches and kicks.

“If you resist, I will send someone to kill Wenren Zong.” Li Hongyuan said coldly, “You know, it’s very easy for me to do this. I could even kill him in front of you after he comes back.”

Jiang Ning’s hands slowly dropped, and then she lifted them again to slap him hard across the face.

Li Hongyuan was stunned, “You…”

Jiang Ning looked at her palm, rubbed her wrist, and seemed to feel not quite satisfied, as if she wanted to slap him again.

“Get away!” Jiang Ning took advantage of his momentary daze to push him away and run to the ground, “After all, you are a crown prince, handsome and elegant, isn’t it disgraceful to force your own princess consort like this?”

Li Hongyuan stared at her blankly, his only feeling was… a great pain.

Pain on his face.

Jiang Ning said, “We are husband and wife, legally wedded. I will not refuse to live with you as a couple. If you want to, just say the word. There’s really no need for this between us.”

Li Hongyuan stammered, “Didn’t you say you don’t like me?”

“Have I ever said that?”

“Actually, I quite like you. Really.” Jiang Ning walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and spoke softly, “Just think about yourself, your identity, status, talents, and looks. Aren’t you the best in the world? If I don’t like you, it means I’m blind.”

Li Hongyuan thought about it carefully.

It was indeed true.

Why wouldn’t any woman like him?

Before marrying Jiang Ning, he had been the most famous beautiful youth in Chang’an City.

Countless young girls dreamed of meeting him.

Why did he become so unstable and insecure when facing Jiang Ning?

It wasn’t good indeed.

He was the Crown Prince, the future Emperor. He shouldn’t be like this.

Jiang Ning silently observed him. Seeing that his eyes had calmed down and his face looked better, she put the teacup in his hand and gently said, “Your Highness, have a sip of tea. I want to check on Lingzi. I wonder if her fever has subsided.”

Li Hongyuan obediently drank the tea, “I’ll go with you.”

“Alright then.”

So, the two of them went to Lingzi’s room together.

Lingzi and Wenzan had grown up and were sleeping separately.

However, at this time, Wenzan was actually lying next to Lingzi, their heads touching in sleep.

Chunlai quickly got up to greet them, “Your Highness, Princess Consort.”

“Shhh.” Jiang Ning carefully walked over and touched Lingzi’s head, “Why is Wenzan here too?”

Chunlai softly laughed, “The little prince said he couldn’t sleep and wanted to accompany his sister. The little princess’s fever had already subsided, and she drank some milk just now, and now she’s sleeping so soundly.”

Jiang Ning nodded, then exchanged glances with Li Hongyuan.

Li Hongyuan sat by the bed and gently touched Lingzi’s small face. Suddenly, he asked Jiang Ning, “You said just now that you wouldn’t refuse me?”

Jiang Ning glanced at the children.

Li Hongyuan directly took her back to their room, “Then, if I demand you to share my bed now, are you willing?”
