son, don't mess around

Chapter 660 An Ning was made to cry again

"Your Highness..."

Jinxiu approached anxiously and was about to speak. When she looked up, she saw this scene under the tree.

“What…are you doing?!”

Jinxiu looked carefully and soon saw the woman in the prince's arms.

This, this is not...

"what!"

Xu Lan, who was originally blushing and hesitant, was suddenly frightened when she heard this voice.

He looked up hurriedly and saw Jinxiu's wide-open eyes and angry expression, as if he had done something wrong behind her back.

Xu Lan panicked instinctively and struggled to run away. The girl's sense of shame made her want to be discovered and feel guilty!

But Xu Lan soon realized...something is not right!

Why are you running?

Why should I run away from this vixen?

Xu Lan quickly came to his senses, and when he saw Jinxiu's surprised and angry expression, Xu Lan felt a small sense of pleasure of revenge in his heart!

Cool!
So cool!
She just likes to see this vixen get angry!

...Although the two had just reached an agreement in the morning, it did not mean that they had reconciled.

Especially when they thought about what happened last night, they felt extremely ashamed and unwilling to admit it.

Therefore, when we met again, there was still a tense atmosphere!
So, Xu Lan, who originally wanted to run away, did not run away. Instead, she snuggled into Lin Jiangnian's arms, even deliberately letting her see it.

Jinxiu was furious when she saw this scene!
You are so shameless, Xu Lan!
She was secretly meeting with His Highness behind my back?
She looks shy, but I didn't expect that she would be so extravagant in private...

However, Jinxiu quickly calmed down. Now was not the time to settle accounts with this vixen. She had something important to discuss with His Highness.

"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you." Jinxiu looked worried.

"what's up?"

Seeing Jinxiu's expression, Lin Jiangnian was slightly stunned.

Jinxiu glanced at Xu Lan and said nothing.

But when Xu Lan saw it, he was immediately furious... despicable!
What's important?

They must be excuses, just to get me out of the way!

Then she took Lin Jiangnian for herself?

...That must be the case!
"I want to talk to Your Highness alone, something very important..."

Jinxiu spoke.

Lin Jiangnian originally thought that Jinxiu wanted to send Xu Lan away on purpose, but when he saw Jinxiu's anxious and worried expression, it didn't seem like she was pretending.

So he lowered his head to look at the angry Xu Lan, leaned close to her ear and whispered: "Okay, I'll come find you later..."

After these words were spoken, Xu Lan's face turned red and his expression was extremely unnatural.

Later...Why come to see me later?
What else can this be done?
Xu Lan immediately tensed up: "No, don't..."

She shook her head to refuse, but suddenly felt this guy's hand silently fall on a soft spot on her body and pinch it quietly.

This made Xu Lan's eyes widen and her face flushed. This bastard actually... touched me secretly in front of Jinxiu?
Xu Lan could no longer hold it in, her face filled with shame, she struggled to break free from Lin Jiangnian's arms.

"I, I'm leaving..."

Then, he ran away.

Lin Jiangnian withdrew his gaze with a smile on his face, and met Jinxiu's extremely deep gaze.

"Is it really okay for Your Highness to do this in front of this slave?"

The voice was very soft, and sounded aggrieved, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"Hey, have I neglected Miss Jinxiu? Come, let me hug you!"

Lin Jiangnian said this, and walked quickly up to Jinxiu, reaching out to hug her.

Jinxiu took two steps back and dodged the attack from His Highness: "No, Your Highness just hugged another woman, I don't want it..."

Seeing Jinxiu struggling, Lin Jiangnian was about to say something, but Jinxiu said seriously: "Okay, Your Highness, I have something important to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?"

"An Ning..."

Thinking of An Ning, Jinxiu's face became a little panicked, and at the same time her expression became more resentful. She stared at His Highness, hesitating and not knowing how to start.

"What happened to An Ning?"

Lin Jiangnian was confused.

Jinxiu bit her lower lip lightly and looked at Lin Jiangnian dimly: "An Ning...may know about the matter between me and Your Highness."

Lin Jiangnian asked curiously, "Didn't she know about this a long time ago?"

The relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Jinxiu was not hidden from An Ning for too long. Didn’t the girl find out about it later?
"It is not……"

Jinxiu opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain for a moment. After a while, seeing that the prince still had a smile on his face, she couldn't help but step forward and pinch him twice angrily.

"That's right... about last night, she, she found out..."

Jinxiu's voice became lower and lower.

Lin Jiangnian was stunned.

"What happened last night..."

Lin Jiangnian suddenly came to his senses: "How did she find out?!"

Found last night?
Could it be that An Ning came here and saw it last night?
But it didn't happen last night, did it?
Except for Xiaolu, there seemed to be no one else outside the room last night?
"Then it's all your fault, Your Highness!"

When she thought of this, Jinxiu blushed slightly, and she couldn't help but pinch him twice: "It's still you, Your Highness, the one you left behind..."

"Being discovered by An Ning!"

Lin Jiangnian immediately realized what was going on: "She saw you taking off your clothes?"

"It's not your fault!"

Jinxiu's face turned red with shame.

Lin Jiangnian's gaze slid down to the brocade light blue cloud silk long skirt, and to the servant's chest that was slightly rising and falling with her shy and angry expression.

Jinxiu realized that His Highness was looking at her, and immediately blocked her chest with her hands, angrily saying, "Your Highness, are you still in the mood to peek at this slave?"

"what happened?"

Seeing Jinxiu's embarrassed and anxious expression, Lin Jiangnian realized something: "Where's An Ning?"

"Ran."

"Ran?"

Lin Jiangnian was surprised: "Where did she go?"

"That damn girl... after she found out about my relationship with Your Highness, she ran away alone..."

Jinxiu said worriedly, "I went to look for her, but she ignored me and ran off to the woods over there alone..."

Jinxiu was very worried.

An Ning's character was too stubborn. Jinxiu was worried that she would do something stupid, so she ran to His Highness to discuss solutions.

"Don't worry about it yet."

Lin Jiangnian comforted Jinxiu: "Although An Ning is a little silly, she won't do stupid things."

Lin Jiangnian is very clear about this. Although An Ning looks silly, she is actually not the kind of person who loses her mind easily.

She is very sensible!

You need to be more sensible than you think!

Therefore, they will not easily do irrational things.

"She must be... scared?"

Lin Jiangnian analyzed: "Let her calm down alone, maybe she will be fine after a while?"

"No, it's not..."

Jinxiu was a little anxious. How could this thing be okay after a while?

That girl is obviously angry and jealous, and she might become even more upset after a while.

Jinxiu was very anxious, but she couldn't tell His Highness directly.

"Your Highness, please think of a solution quickly."

Jinxiu said anxiously: "What if An Ning is upset..."

"Don't worry, An Ning won't..." "She will!"

Jinxiu became even more anxious. Seeing that His Highness didn't seem to be worried, Jinxiu became angry and said, "I don't care. This matter is your responsibility... Your Highness must be responsible."

Lin Jiangnian was stunned: "How to be responsible?"

"No, I don't know..."

Jinxiu seemed to be thinking about something. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Highness, you must find a way to coax An Ning, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Slave, I will ignore you!"

"..."

It's getting dark.

After a day's journey, the carriage crew set up camp on the plain here, ready to rest for the night.

Along the way from Linjiang City to the capital, from the capital to Linjiang City, and now to Jiangnan, spending the night in the wild has become a common thing.

On the plains, smoke from cooking fires rose up, and the aroma of rice gradually wafted in.

There was a small forest on the left side of the plain, and next to the forest was a small pond. The water in the pond flowed down from the heights, forming a small stream.

When Lin Jiangnian found An Ning, she was squatting on a rock nearby, staring at the stream flowing in the small pond in a daze.

The girl was wearing a plain white dress and had a thin body. She had her knees slightly bent and held the sword that she always carried with her across her thighs. She was staring at the small pond in a daze and didn't even seem to notice when Lin Jiangnian approached.

Until Lin Jiangnian walked to the stone and stepped on the dead wood, making a crisp sound.

An Ning suddenly turned around, her cold and bright eyes were full of sharp vigilance, but the moment she saw Lin Jiangnian, it disappeared completely. Instead, she was stunned for a moment, as if she was stunned in place. After reacting, her first thought was to get up and leave.

"Where are you going?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke, and An Ning, who was about to stand up and run away, seemed to be frozen in place. She quickly turned her head back and didn't look at Lin Jiangnian.

But at the same time, he didn't speak.

After a while, she seemed to realize that she should leave, and her stiff body moved again.

"and many more."

Lin Jiangnian spoke.

But An Ning didn't say anything, stood up and wanted to leave.

The next second, he was pulled by Lin Jiangnian.

"Let, let go..."

An Ning's panicked voice rang out.

"Don't leave yet, sit with me!"

Lin Jiangnian's voice rang out.

An Ning stood there in a daze, her whole body tense, and the girl's rapid breathing was extremely obvious.

She remained motionless, her eyes still looking away.

Seeing this, Lin Jiangnian smiled, walked to the stone next to the girl, and took a look at her cold and tense profile.

"What are you doing here?"

The girl pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Look at you like this, aren't you happy? Who bullied you?"

The girl still didn't speak, her bare hands tightly grasping the scabbard, as if she could find some sense of security this way.

"Have you noticed that you have changed a lot?"

Lin Jiangnian continued to speak.

After hearing this, An Ning lowered her eyes and said nothing. However, there seemed to be some contemplation in her eyes...

"You've changed a lot."

Lin Jiangnian's voice came again: "This is no longer the An Ning I met before."

He heard a soft sigh and when he turned his head, he could vaguely see the girl's fair, delicate and slightly stubborn face in the dim light.

"You seem to be afraid of me?"

Lin Jiangnian spoke.

The girl remained silent, her eyes lowered, but her breathing seemed a little heavy.

"I've always wanted to find an opportunity to have a good chat with you, but... you never gave me the chance."

Lin Jiangnian smiled and looked at the girl in front of him. Looking at this face that was exactly the same as Jinxiu, a myriad of thoughts ran through his mind.

It seems like a long time has passed since he met An Ning.

As the relationship between Lin Jiangnian and Jinxiu continued to progress, this sister, who had always been silent and even had no sense of existence, had actually been quietly accompanying Lin Jiangnian for a long time without him noticing.

It's just that she seems too transparent, so it's easy to ignore her existence most of the time.

And ever since the last conflict in Linjiang City, the two had hardly ever sat together alone, let alone had a good talk.

Hearing this, An Ning felt inexplicably nervous. At the same time, a strange emotion surged in her heart.

A feeling of grievance seemed to fill those bright eyes.

"I never had time to ask you..."

Lin Jiangnian spoke in a very soft voice, fearing to scare the timid girl: "After last time, you have been refusing to see me... Is it because I lied to you that time that you are angry?"

It all seemed to have started from the time when Lin Jiangnian tricked An Ning out of the city, but he only tricked her out. On the way back, An Ning cried!
Since then, An Ning started to avoid her.

"If so, I apologize!"

Lin Jiangnian looked at An Ning seriously and sincerely, and said softly: "That time, I was wrong. I lied to you."

However, after Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, the girl holding the sword beside him still did not react.

He lowered his head and said nothing.

The surroundings seemed to become quiet and dull.

"peaceful?"

After a long time, Lin Jiangnian spoke again.

He didn't hear the girl's answer, but... in the darkness, Lin Jiangnian seemed to hear her rapid breathing. He turned his head and saw the girl next to him turned away as if in panic, and turned to leave.

Lin Jiangnian subconsciously grabbed her hand, which was slender and soft. The moment he held her hand, he noticed that the girl trembled, and then she tried to shake it off.

To no avail!

The girl tried harder, but to no avail!

The girl gave up!
As if he had given up on himself, he sat down on the stone again, lowered his head, and buried it in his knees.

In the darkness, everything around was still quiet, and even the breathing was extremely clear.

Lin Jiangnian held the girl's hand and seemed to feel a hint of wetness.

He was stunned for a moment, looked down, and could not see anything clearly. But his heart seemed to have anticipated something and trembled slightly.

This girl, is she...crying again?

"It was my fault."

Lin Jiangnian sighed deeply, his tone was very light and full of guilt.

No matter what, he has an unshirkable responsibility for An Ning's becoming like this.

But just after Lin Jiangnian finished speaking, An Ning, who had buried her head in her knees and had not spoken a word, suddenly spoke after a long silence.

"It has nothing to do with you..."

The voice was very soft, with a hint of hoarseness and trembling.

It sounds inexplicably distressing.

Lin Jiangnian's heart trembled slightly, and he asked with pity: "Then, what's wrong with you?"

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

The girl's voice was still hoarse, with a hint of confusion.

"It's just, it's just..."

In the darkness, one could vaguely see a line of tears on the girl's face. There was a hint of glitter in her bright eyes.

She reached out and touched her heart: "Just, just..."

“It’s very uncomfortable here…”

"Very boring..."

"..."
