A red apricot is about to cheat on you

The queen had already stood up, but the emperor's words were like an invisible rope, pulling her back to her seat.

His face was slightly embarrassed.

After a while, the banquet ended. An Tingfeng was walking out of the palace, only one meter behind An Zhengzhong.

He walked leisurely, his demeanor lazy yet revealing a kind of carefree nobility. His posture was like that of a nobleman strolling in the garden, and every step exuded an innate elegance. Outlining his slender figure,

At this moment, An Zhengzhong suddenly stopped and turned to look at An Tingfeng. His eyes were full of doubts and thoughts.

He asked thoughtfully, "You have a good personal relationship with that Princess Ye?"

An Tingfeng was slightly startled, his mind racing like a high-speed machine. He knew An Zhengzhong was suspicious by nature, so he had to come up with an answer that would convince him.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Yes, father, it's just as you think. I do have different feelings for her."

His tone was very gentle, and he believed that this answer was the best and the most unquestionable.

"Nonsense... shut up! Didn't you see how close she was to the Regent? Do you want my Jing'an Marquisate to follow in the footsteps of the Jiang family?"

After hearing this, An Zhengzhong immediately growled in a deep voice. His face darkened.

Their words were heard by the Ninth Princess who had just arrived. Her body stiffened instantly and the food box in her hand fell to the ground.

The sound of the food box falling to the ground attracted the attention of An Tingfeng and the others. An Zhengzhong was slightly stunned, thinking to himself,

Princess Nine hadn't heard what An Tingfeng had just said. A flash of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

After coming to their senses, the two of them saluted the Ninth Princess. An Zhengzhong wanted to twist his words, but the Ninth Princess didn't give him the chance.

Her eyes were always on An Tingfeng, staring at him closely, as if trying to find a clue from his face.

She suppressed her reluctance and said, "What did you just say? Do you really like Yi Duo'er?" Her tone was low and filled with disbelief. Her voice was filled with disappointment and sadness, like a shattered crystal, emitting a shattered light.

Faced with her question, An Tingfeng did not want to answer. He pulled Yi Duoer to block it.

The purpose was to prevent An Zhengzhong from getting suspicious of him, but unexpectedly, it was overheard by the Ninth Princess. An Tingfeng frowned slightly, forming a shallow ravine.

His face showed an irritated expression. He did not answer the Ninth Princess's question, but instead implied that she had nothing to do all day and always liked to pry into other people's private affairs.

Then, An Tingfeng bowed to the Ninth Princess and said, "Princess. Father, I have something else to do at the Imperial City Office. I will leave first!"

His tone was cold and decisive, like the cold wind in winter. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back. All that was left to them was the indifference that kept people away from him.

An Zhengzhong had been in the business for many years and was a master in the love field. He could tell from the Ninth Princess's expression that she was clearly jealous.

His son was already over 28 and still unmarried! This was a huge burden on his heart. He had chosen so many famous ladies from the capital for him, but he hadn't even bothered to look at any of them.

He hadn't expected that the Ninth Princess, who had always looked down on others, would actually fall for this brat. An Zhengzhong had already begun to make plans: if his mansion could marry a princess, he would have a place in the imperial court in the future.

So, An Zhengzhong comforted the Ninth Princess. He couldn't bring himself to expose her worries, or else all would be lost. Their relationship could only proceed step by step.

Yi Duoer no longer felt the palpitations she had just felt, and her face began to turn red. There are no ifs!

Instead, she held Chu Jingchen tightly in her arms, fearing that he would leave again. Although Chu Jingchen said something like "fool",

But his hands also held her tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. His face was filled with a happy smile, like the warm sunshine in spring.

Warm and bright, his eyes were full of tenderness and love, sparkling with brilliant light, as if hiding an endless sea of ​​stars.

He gently rested his chin on the top of her head, feeling her warmth and breath.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still, and the whole world was left with only the two of them, immersed in this sweet happiness.

"You bastard, I thought you wouldn't come back." Although Yi Duoer complained, she was very happy in her heart.

Her voice was coquettish and gentle. When she looked at his handsome yet weathered face, ripples of emotion welled up in her heart.

She knew that because of her affairs, he must be very anxious to come back.

Chu Jingchen's eyes were full of affection at this moment, and he said with a self-blaming tone: "I'm sorry, Duo'er, I shouldn't have left you here. If I had known this, I should have kept you by my side all the time."

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with regret and guilt. He truly regretted it. Even though he had sent experts to protect her, they still couldn't withstand the attacks of those people.

Yi Duoer raised her hand to stop her from speaking and said that it was not his fault and he did not need to apologize to her. Instead, it was she who was too reckless.

Although she thought she was not afraid of death, she actually wanted the emperor to execute her. But when she saw so many people caring about her, she realized that she was wrong.

She is not only Yi Duoer now, but also Yi Duoer here. Her eyes reveal determination, and she understands her responsibilities and obligations.

Chu Jingchen didn’t understand what she said. What did she mean by she was Yi Duoer and not Yi Duoer?

When he heard Yi Duoer say that she still wanted the emperor to execute her, he thought she was seeking death. His face suddenly turned extremely cold, and he looked at her fiercely, touching both of her cheeks.

He made her look him in the face. He said forcefully, "You want to die? Where did you put me? When you had this thought, didn't you consider me? Can you bear it? Yi Duo'er, I don't care who you are, you are not allowed to leave me."

His tone was domineering and firm, leaving no room for doubt. His eyes were filled with worry and possessiveness.

Yi Duo'er's lips were squeezed into a ball by his two hands. She frowned and looked at Chu Jingchen, looking extremely cute.

Why was she so fierce? So overbearing? This was the first time she'd seen him so angry and stern. She knew her words had jarred his sensitive nerves. His actions proved that she was already so deeply in his heart that he couldn't let her go.

So he pretended to be wronged and looked at her eagerly, "Seventeen, are you mean to me?" He forced out a drop of cat urine and instantly became pitiful. His look was like a wronged little rabbit, which made people feel distressed.

These fell on Chu Jingchen's heart, and the fierce look on his face just now disappeared. He was at a loss.

He immediately hugged her again and said distressedly:

"I was wrong, Duo'er, it's my fault. I wasn't mean to you, I was just angry. You never considered me in anything you did. If anything happened to you, what do you want me to do? I'm not afraid of losing you, but you are the only one I can't lose." His voice was gentle and affectionate, full of love and pity.

Yi Duoer replied immediately:

"Okay, I was just kidding. Look at you, you're so serious. Okay... I promise you, for your sake, I'll protect myself well in the future. Besides, you said you'd take me with you wherever you go in the future."

Her eyes were full of determination and commitment. She knew how important she was to him and was willing to change for him.

Chu Jingchen felt relieved after hearing her words. After what happened this time, he would never let Yi Duoer leave him again.

Yi Duoer put her arms around his neck, stood up and kissed him on the lips. She smiled coquettishly, "Okay, don't be angry anymore." That smile was like a blooming flower, captivating!

But this little touch could not satisfy him. He wanted to go further, but Yi Duoer raised her hand to stop his lips and prevent him from getting closer. Chu Jingchen was puzzled. In this regard,

Isn't Yi Duo'er always very proactive? His eyes were full of doubt and desire, like a child longing for candy.
