YM778.TV Chapter 294: Can You Wait for Me?
Jiang Ning saw his furious appearance and couldn’t help but laugh, saying, “Huang Ying said the children have been crying nonstop, I’ll go take a look.”
Li Hongyuan was slightly taken aback.
He maintained his leaning posture, gazing down at her, and whispered, “Can I make a request?”
“What is it?”
“I want to hold you.”
As soon as he finished speaking, it seemed as if he knew she would refuse, so without waiting for her reply, he directly reached out and held her, completely enclosing her in his arms.
Jiang Ning:”…”
His arms tightened, hugging her soft body strongly and speaking in a very low voice, “I will definitely come back, wait for me, alright?”
Although it was a question, he seemed not to want her to answer, or rather, he was afraid of hearing an answer he didn’t want to hear. He quickly let go of her, stood up straight, took a deep look at her for the last time, then turned around and strode away.
This time, he didn’t lookback, commanding the coachman to set off immediately.
Jiang Ning watched his retreating figure, watched him hop into the carriage, and watched the carriage quickly moving away.
It was only when the procession had gone far away that it was no longer visible.
Huang Ying said softly, “Princess Consort, the Prince has left, let’s go back.”
Jiang Ning nodded.
They had to go back to the Jiang family home first to pack their things, and then move to the Prince of Yu’s residence.
On the way back, Huang Ying accompanied her in the carriage, comforting her, “Don’t be sad, Princess Consort. Just because the Prince has left now doesn’t mean he really has no chance of coming back.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Hearing you say that, why do I feel that the hope is even more slim?”
“Princess Consort, that’s not what I meant.”
“I know, don’t worry about it.” Jiang Ning smiled, “I don’t know what will happen in the future, but in the short term, he won’t be coming back. But it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t come back, we’ll still live our lives as usual.”
Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, “I was worried that you would be too sad and unable to let go.”
“What do I have to let go of?”
“Princess Consort, you’re a rare open-minded person. Even when Young
Master Wenren was exiled, you didn’t shed a tear.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “So, even you thought I liked Wenren Zong?”
“Ah… not only me, many people thought so.”
Jiang Ning nodded, “Yes, even Li Hongyuan thought so.”
“Princess Consort, don’t you actually like Young Master Wenren?”
“It’s not that I don’t like him, but it’s not a romantic kind of liking, just appreciation between friends.”
“It’s best that you think so, Princess Consort. However, it seems to me that Young Master Wenren feels differently about you.”
“What he feels is beyond my control.”
Jiang Ning leaned back, half-reclining, and tapped her leg, “It looks like it’s going to rain, I wonder where Thirteen is and whether the road is good or bad.”
Huang Ying hurried over to massage her leg and said with a smile, “Princess Consort, you care about Young Master Wenren more than you care about the Prince of Yu.”
“Your Prince of Yu, although exiled in disguise, has plenty of servants and concubines by his side in a carriage. What’s there for me to worry about?”
Even though he claimed not to have touched Li Yuanyuan, didn’t he still bring her along this time?
Although she didn’t know the situation over at the Imperial Mausoleum, with such a gentle and beautiful concubine by his side day and night, could he really not touch her indefinitely?
Maybe in a year or so, there would already be concubine-born children in the house.
Jiang Ning thought about Li Hongyuan’s last words before leaving, feeling that he was still unwilling to give up and would most likely try to find a way to come back and continue fighting with the Crown Prince.
These things were now out of her hands.
Li Hongyuan wasn’t there, Ms. Fang had been driven away, and Li Yuanyuan had followed.
The vast Prince of Yu’s residence now belonged to her alone.
She couldn’t help but feel a little excited thinking about it..
