The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Everyone in the room was startled when they heard the sound, and then they all hurried to the window.

When I saw the three familiar faces outside the window, the air seemed to stand still for a moment.

Shen Li was the first to react, pointing at the three people, his face looking as complicated as if he had swallowed an egg.

"Regent."

"You... you..."

"Squatting in the corner?"

Luo Mian stood up expressionlessly and pretended to dust himself off.

His expression was serious.

"It's not about moon viewing."

"It's not like squatting in the corner."

"I'm here to look for Ning'er."

Shen Kuo also came over, leaned his head to look at the three neatly lined faces, and couldn't help but speak.

"The Prince Regent came to see Ning'er, why didn't he go through the main entrance?"

Luo Mian replied dryly without blushing or beating his heart.

"I……"

"I...I can go wherever I want."

Shen Runing finally came back to his senses from the shock, and looking at that stern face, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.

She stretched out her hand and spoke softly.

"come in."

Luo Mian's eyes instantly became gentle, and he rolled over without hesitation and landed silently.

Mu Shan and Yun Shui followed closely behind, and entered the house one after the other.

But the air suddenly froze a little.

Their eyes met, and all twenty of them looked - awkward.

Qiuzhi quietly poked Xiazhi beside him, then suddenly pulled Yunshui's sleeve.

"You...you came to the Shen Mansion, I guess you want to see me for something, right?"

Yunshui hadn't recovered from the "corner lurking incident" just now, and the blush on his face hadn't faded yet.

"Huh? What—"

"hiss--!"

Qiu Zhi pinched him hard.

Yunshui shuddered.

"Yes, yes! Something's wrong! A big thing!"

"Let's go out and talk, let's go out and talk!"

Mu Shan quickly followed suit, holding onto Xia Zhi and raising his voice eight octaves.

"I have something to talk to you about too! Urgent military information!"

Chunzhi and Liuqing also understood the routine in seconds and nodded pretending to be very serious.

"regret……"

"We have something to do too! The cat in the backyard of the Shen Mansion might be about to give birth."

"The first baby...we have to keep an eye on it..."

Seeing that everyone was about to "slip away", Shen Li finally couldn't help but frown and speak.

"Aren't you two supposed to meet tomorrow?"

"Regent, you—"

Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by Shen Kuo.

"Li'er, Li'er, I suddenly remembered that I have something to talk to you about."

"what's up?"

"You'll understand once you leave."

"Hey? I don't—"

"Let's go."

"boom--"

The door was closed with a "click".

The room suddenly became quiet.

The awkward atmosphere disappeared with the sound of the door closing.

Beautiful, quietly warming up.

Shen Runing had not yet fully recovered from the nonsense that had just been spoken by those people.

As soon as he looked up, he met Luo Mian's deep gaze.

Luo Mian took one step at a time, as if he was getting closer, but also as if he was reluctant to get too close too quickly.

He stopped and spoke in a low voice until he was only an arm's length away from Shen Runing.

"Ning'er..."

"Tonight...I shouldn't have come."

Shen Runing lowered her eyelashes and gently gathered her hair that was blown by the wind.

"Then you are here, Prince Regent."

Luo Mian's eyes dimmed, he took a step forward, raised his hand to tuck the black hair behind Shen Runing's ear, and his fingertips accidentally brushed her earlobe.

Shen Runing subconsciously shrank back a little, but Luo Mian held her shoulders and leaned against her gently.

"Ning'er's hair is loose."

The voice is low and hoarse.

"Next time, remember to use the hairpin I made for you. It won't come loose easily."

Shen Runing's ears turned red.

"It was you who suddenly—"

Luo Mian chuckled.

"What is it about me?"

"Did I get too close suddenly?"

As he spoke, he leaned forward half a degree, with the tip of his nose almost touching Shen Runing.

"you……"

Shen Runing wanted to retreat, but she didn't know when Luo Mian had surrounded her at the edge of the couch, leaving her with nowhere to go.

"Ning'er,"

Luo Mian suddenly murmured in a low voice.

"You know, from the moment I saw you wearing your wedding dress, I regretted it a little bit."

Shen Runing's heart trembled slightly.

"What do you regret?"

Luo Mian rubbed Shen Runing's chin with his fingertips.

"regret……"

"I regret not marrying you tonight."

After he finished speaking, a light flashed in his eyes.

"I want to take you back now, hide you, and never let anyone see you again."

Shen Runing moved her lips, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word because of Luo Mian's gaze.

In silence, she suddenly turned her head.

The corner of his lips accidentally brushed against Luo Mian's jaw.

Luo Mian was stunned for a second, then laughed softly.

"Ning'er, are you... using courtesy before force?"

Shen Runing blushed and was about to open her mouth to refute, but Luo Mian pulled her into his arms.

"Ning'er's hand...has never let go of me."

Luo Mian whispered in Shen Runing's ear, her breath light and her voice so ambiguous that it made people's legs go weak.

Shen Runing gritted her teeth and struggled, but her hand was held even tighter by Luo Mian.

"You have to go."

Her voice was trembling.

"If you don't leave now, you'll be laughed at."

"Then let go and I'll leave."

Shen Runing looked down——

She certainly didn't let go.

Her breath hitched, her face turned even redder, and she raised her hand to push Luo Mian away, but he grabbed her fingers again.

"Ning'er."

Luo Mian smiled softly.

"The day after tomorrow you will be my legitimate princess..."

"I can still pretend to be a 'gentleman' tonight... but if you continue like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to pretend anymore..."

Shen Runing glared at him.

"You don't look like..."

Luo Mian's eyes darkened, and he suddenly hugged Shen Runing tighter, resting his forehead against hers.

"Ning'er, I won't let you suffer any injustice."

"From now on, I will wear all your hairpins and cloaks..."

"I will give you all the joy of the rest of my life..."

"OK……"

Shen Runing's eyes instantly turned red, and she slowly put her arms around Luo Mian's waist and whispered.

"If you dare to betray me... I will—"

"I won't bully Ning'er. If that day comes, I'll die—"

Shen Runing covered Luo Mian's mouth with her hand without waiting for him to finish his words.

"Don't say unlucky words..."

Luo Mian was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to look at the small hand covering his lips.

Her fingers were slightly cool, yet soft like newly opened petals on a spring night, with a hint of fragrance.

Luo Mian's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he tilted his head slightly, and his lips placed a very light kiss on her fingertips.

Shen Runing's fingertips trembled.

Luo Mian didn't look up. The second and third hits...
