son, don't mess around

It was early morning and the sky was just getting light.

Outside Linjiang City, several figures were running quickly in a certain direction outside the city.

Outside the house, there was an inconspicuous carriage parked. The air inside the carriage was filled with a faint fragrance, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat tense.

It's a bit cold!
Lin Jiangnian raised his eyes and looked at the sword-holding girl who was sitting opposite him, deliberately staying away from him.

The girl had a cold face since she got on the carriage. She hugged the sword tightly in her arms, and her face was a little puffy, as if she had been deceived.

Ignoring people deliberately!
Even his gaze was deliberately shifted away, looking outside the carriage, not focusing on anyone.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jiangnian couldn't help but burst out laughing.

When An Ning got angry, everything seemed so deliberate!

The childish behavior seems a bit cute.

"Angry?"

Lin Jiangnian took the initiative to speak with a smile on his face.

An Ning had a blank expression on her face, she didn't say anything and ignored this bad guy.

"Really angry?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her with a sincere look: "I really didn't lie to you..."

However, no matter how Lin Jiangnian explained, An Ning didn't believe it... His Highness had lied to her!

Last night at midnight, His Highness suddenly tricked her out of the city on the pretext that it would be dangerous to go out.

Knowing that His Highness might be in danger, An Ning was very nervous and immediately followed His Highness out of the city. Along the way, he was very careful and alert, protecting His Highness.

However, An Ning waited for a whole night without encountering any dangerous situation.

His Highness even kept making jokes along the way and saying some confusing words to her that she couldn't understand.

Following the prince to the Chen family outside the city, An Ning actually had no place to use his power... The guards of Prince Lin's mansion had already controlled the Chen family inside and out.

After waiting for most of the night, I finally saw the man named Chen Xu come back.

Then, under the coercion and inducement of His Highness, Chen Xu finally couldn't resist and agreed to His Highness's request.

And during this process, An Ning was of no use from beginning to end, and she had no chance to take any action at all!

Not to mention the danger, I didn’t even see any enemies.

It was not until she was about to go back that An Ning finally realized... His Highness might be lying to her!

There is no danger at all. His Highness tricked her out on purpose!

Although An Ning was a little stunned and a little stupid, she was not completely stupid.

So, from the moment she got on the carriage, An Ning had a cold face and ignored His Highness!

No matter how His Highness explains, she won't believe it!
Perhaps what His Highness said made sense, and perhaps His Highness did not lie to her. An Ning was not very angry, but... she felt uncomfortable.

Don't know the reason.

It seemed as if some rebellious emotions were piling up in her heart, making her feel a little aggrieved.

So, she deliberately acted out of spite and didn't go to see His Highness or pay any attention to him.

……

On the way back in the carriage, Lin Jiangnian was still trying to comfort the cold An Ning.

He did deceive people a bit last night and tricked An Ning out.

It can be considered as taking advantage of her trust.

The reason for tricking An Ning out was very simple...there was something wrong with this little girl recently.

For some unknown reason, this little girl seemed to be angry with Lin Jiangnian recently. Not only did she ignore him, but she also avoided him when she saw him.

This made Lin Jiangnian very confused. Clearly no one had bullied or offended her recently. So what happened to her?
Lin Jiangnian wanted to talk to her several times, but An Ning either avoided the topic or hid beside Jinxiu and the princess, leaving Lin Jiangnian no chance to take action.

Given Jinxiu's defensive attitude towards Lin Jiangnian, if Lin Jiangnian spoke a few more words to An Ning, she would start to suspect whether Lin Jiangnian wanted to have a threesome with the sisters again.

Therefore, Lin Jiangnian could only trick An Ning out by using the plan of leaving the city tonight.

There is no danger tonight, but the reaction of the sword-holding girl in front of me is definitely a little strange.

Seeing that the girl sitting opposite him still had a cold face, she raised her delicate chin slightly, turned her head to look elsewhere, and held the sword tightly in her arms with both hands.

He looked nervous but tried to pretend nothing happened.

Lin Jiangnian smiled. He suddenly stood up and then sat down next to An Ning.

The next second, An Ning, who was pretending to be calm, suddenly trembled and froze visibly. Her originally cold face suddenly became flustered, her eyes were full of panic, and she instinctively took a defensive posture.

Lin Jiangnian looked down and met a pair of beautiful girl's eyes!
There was a hint of embarrassment in her clear and bright eyes. After exchanging glances with Lin Jiangnian, she hurriedly moved away to avoid him.

"Are you still afraid of me?"

Lin Jiangnian asked.

An Ning lowered her head, her whole body tense, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest.

Under Lin Jiangnian's gaze, she felt uncomfortable all over and instinctively wanted to stand up and distance herself from Lin Jiangnian.

But just as she made a move, she was pulled back by Lin Jiangnian.

"Where are you running?"

Lin Jiangnian's slightly questioning voice sounded in my ears.

An Ning panicked!

My mind went blank.

Especially, when she felt His Highness grabbing her arm. Even through the clothes, she could still clearly feel the hot breath of His Highness's palm penetrating her skin through the thin clothes.

At this moment, An Ning seemed to be strongly stimulated by something, and her face flushed. She was so flustered that she wanted to escape from here even more. She tried to struggle and get her arms out of His Highness's control.

"Let, let go..."

She wants to run away!

But Lin Jiangnian did not give her this opportunity.

Instead of loosening his grip, he held it even tighter.

He grabbed the girl's soft and boneless arm, as if it was so fragile that it could be broken with just a slight force.

With her arms grabbed, An Ning was unable to escape. Her body became increasingly stiff, and her face showed an expression of embarrassment and anxiety, as if she was about to cry. Her little head was almost lowered to the point of hitting her chest.

"If you listen to me, I'll let you go."

Lin Jiangnian looked at the sword-holding girl in front of him who was becoming increasingly embarrassed and anxious, and spoke softly.

An Ning didn't say anything.

"I'm letting you go, so you can't run away?!"

Still no answer.

"If you agree, give me your sword."

As he spoke, Lin Jiangnian stretched out his hand towards her.

However, An Ning still did not speak. She held the sword tightly in her arms, her body remained tense and stiff, and she pursed her lips, as if she was experiencing some ideological struggle.

"If you don't agree, don't blame me for being rude!"

Seeing that An Ning still didn't respond, Lin Jiangnian narrowed his eyes slightly, and then moved closer to An Ning.

Originally, the two of them were sitting side by side, with a hand's length of space between them. Lin Jiangnian suddenly moved towards An Ning, and the hand's length of space was instantly shortened and disappeared.

Their bodies pressed together.

Through her clothes, she could feel the soft body of the girl, and the body fragrance of An Ning, which was somewhat similar to Jinxiu's, also filled the air.

Lin Jiangnian lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him whose face was exactly like Jinxiu's but whose temperament was completely different. He felt a strange impulse in his heart.

As Lin Jiangnian approached, An Ning's mind went blank.

The already stiff body seemed to have turned into a fossil in an instant. The girl's soft waist was stretched straight, and even her breathing seemed to have almost stopped. Her fair and delicate face was full of panic and shame. "No, don't..."

The girl's voice trembled slightly, and there was a hint of panic in her crying voice.

When the voice came out, Lin Jiangnian's heart was shocked. He looked down and saw that the girl's red and delicate face was a little more frightened. And the bottom of her bright eyes were slightly red.

This caught Lin Jiangnian off guard. He stared blankly at the girl holding the sword in front of him.

This girl is crying?

Were you scared to tears by his actions?

Lin Jiangnian suddenly realized that An Ning was not Jinxiu. She was timid and sensitive, and she was simple-minded. She might have been frightened by his behavior? !
"Hey, don't cry!"

Seeing that An Ning was almost scared to tears by him, Lin Jiangnian quickly spoke to comfort her. At the same time, he moved to the side and increased the distance between them again: "I was just kidding you, I didn't bully you..."

"Calm down, don't cry, don't cry..."

If I really make An Ning cry, how am I going to explain it to Jinxiu when I get back?
With Jinxiu's temper, I'm afraid she will ignore him for half a month.

An Ning didn't say anything.

He kept his head down and said nothing.

She held the sword tightly in her arms, her eyes slightly red, and she bit her thin lips tightly. This look made her look like a little girl who was "bullied". I felt pity for her.

This made Lin Jiangnian feel even more guilty.

He spoke softly, apologizing and soothing at the same time.

An Ning listened to His Highness' gentle apology in her ear. For some reason, she didn't want to cry. But His Highness' gentle tone, when she heard it in her ear, made her originally want to cry suddenly become very strong.

It was as if the emotions that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time suddenly burst out.

She couldn't help it, An Ning bit her lower lip and turned her head away, trying to suppress the sad and aggrieved feeling.

But for some reason, the scenes of His Highness and Jinxiu getting along during this period of time kept appearing in her mind.

Right before her eyes, scenes of the two of them being intimate flashed by.

Then, he suddenly recalled the "misunderstanding" that happened in Jinxiu's room not long ago.

For a moment, the feeling of grievance seemed to be magnified to the extreme.

An Ning didn't know why, but she suddenly felt very wronged, very wronged!

I felt sad and wanted to cry.

Crystal clear tears rolled in her eyes and then slowly fell.

Lin Jiangnian, who was trying to comfort An Ning, was stunned when he realized that An Ning suddenly started to cry... Why, the more he comforted her, the more she cried? !

The girl's crystal clear tears slid down, and she turned her head away angrily, as if she didn't want Lin Jiangnian to see this scene.

But the more this happened, the more confused Lin Jiangnian became.

Did he scare An Ning into tears?

"Hey, why are you crying... Stop crying... It's your fault, Your Highness. I shouldn't have 'bullied' you just now... Hey, why are you crying even harder? Stop crying. It won't look good if you keep crying..."

"..."

Lin Jiangnian really had no experience in comforting girls, especially crying girls. The more he comforted her, the sadder the girl next to him seemed.

Tears flowed down my face like rain and I couldn't stop them.

This made Lin Jiangnian feel extremely guilty.

An Ning ignored Lin Jiangnian and just kept crying, turning her head away so that Lin Jiangnian wouldn't see her.

She didn't cry out loud, but bit her lower lip tightly and shed tears silently. This look made her look even more pitiful.

When Lin Jiangnian tried to look over, she quickly turned her head away, as if she did it on purpose, with the look of a sulky little girl.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian sighed in his heart.

He did not say anything to comfort her, but just watched the girl in his arms cry in anger. He looked around but did not see anything suitable, so he stretched out his sleeve.

"Will you wipe it first?"

An Ning ignored it.

So Lin Jiangnian didn't say anything else.

It was not until a long time later that An Ning finally stopped crying. She still kept her head down and did not look at Lin Jiangnian. Her eyes were red and there were still some traces of tears on her fair and delicate face.

It looks particularly distressing.

Lin Jiangnian sighed inwardly, An Ning did not speak either, and the atmosphere in the carriage gradually became depressing.

"Are you angry with me?"

After An Ning wiped the tears from her face and her emotions gradually stabilized, Lin Jiangnian finally spoke.

He finally realized something was wrong.

Even if his behavior just now scared her, it would never make An Ning so sad that she cried.

There are obviously other reasons.

Considering An Ning's irritation and ignoring him these days, something must have happened before that made her so sad. Therefore, she finally couldn't hold back her tears just now.

However, Lin Jiangnian just couldn’t figure it out…what was the reason?
Why is An Ning so sad?
Faced with Lin Jiangnian's questioning, An Ning remained silent.

Her eyes were still red, her head was lowered, and she hugged the sword tightly in her arms. Her face was still tense, and she bit her lower lip without saying a word.

"If you don't speak, will I take it as your acquiescence?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her and sighed, "It seems that it is indeed my fault. I bullied and irritated Miss An Ning, causing you to suffer injustice..."

"I'm guilty!"

Lin Jiangnian's tone was full of self-blame.

An Ning, who had been silent, felt a sudden tightness in her heart when she heard this.

She subconsciously looked up at Lin Jiangnian and happened to meet his eyes. Then, she saw that Lin Jiangnian was staring at her with a look of guilt in his eyes.

In an instant, An Ning felt a little panicked. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but no word came out.

I shook my head subconsciously.

"what?"

An Ning still didn't say anything.

"It seems that Miss An Ning hates me?"

Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply: "Sure enough, it's all my fault, I am guilty..."

"No, it's not..."

When An Ning heard Lin Jiangnian's guilty tone, she panicked.

Very uneasy!
An inexplicable emotion surged in my heart.

She felt as if she had wronged His Highness, and she couldn't help but want to clarify.

"With, with His Highness, no, it has nothing to do with it..."

Her voice was a little hoarse, which made people feel a little pity for her.

He shook his head, as if trying to explain something.

"So, what's going on?"

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian asked.

An Ning was silent again, still biting her thin lower lip tightly, with a charming look on her face. Her red eyes vaguely revealed a bit of confusion.

"I, I don't know either..."
