Chapter 288 Did I Really Force You?
"Stop." I stopped him, unable to ignore the cool feeling in my heart, as if, as if he turned around and left, we were really done.

He really stopped, but the powerless words came into my ears, which made me really feel cold.

"Yanran, maybe I can't look at my mother and queen alone like my father, but... I'm really working hard to do this. I'm trying my best to be a good husband and a king. You...why Don't you understand me?"

I frowned and clenched my hands into fists, Nangongchen, what do you mean.

"Your world is so small, it's so small that I'm the only one. I know you blame me for not being able to hold the sky above your head, so that you don't have to worry about it like your mother, but, Yanran, I want to say that I have been working hard I'm trying my best to be like my father, I'm only 20 years old, you...why do you insist on forcing me like this?"

Am I forcing you again, Nangong Chen?

I clenched my fists and remained silent.
It was the first time I heard his accusation.Such an accusation leaves me unable to find even a refutation.

"Actually, it doesn't matter who the child belongs to, as long as it belongs to you, but have you ever thought about the pressure you will face next? The empress dowager has a problem with you. With her current body, the whole palace Up and down, even the emperor is very fond of her, how will she treat you like this?"
"I never thought of hurting you, but Yan Ran, seeing you being by my side time after time, I suddenly felt that maybe it was my mistake to keep you by my side."

His back is very lonely, I seem to return to him when I first met him.

I wanted to tell him, that's not the case, but I bit my lips, but couldn't make a sound.

If not, what should it be like?
"I thought I could protect you, but... I'm too confident, I'm sorry, Yanran." He strode away, and I froze in place, with his smell lingering in the tip of my nose.
