BXBX NOVEL Chapter 443: What do I mean to you?
Feeling Jiang Ning’s gaze, he raised his head to look at her.
Instantly, Jiang Ning felt at ease.
As long as she thought about always having a master like Gucheng following her, she felt incredibly safe.
Li Hongyuan, who was holding two children, saw her behaviour and said, “You truly can’t seem to be without Gucheng now.”
“You’re jealous?”
“You’re overthinking.” Li Hongyuan responded indifferently, “You think everyone is worth my jealousy? What I mean is, with me around, you don’t need to worry so much about safety.”
“But you can’t possibly be with me all the time.”
“Don’t misunderstand, I’m not complaining. I know your martial skills are formidable, but after all, you have a lot of other tasks to undertake. Gucheng’s duty is to follow and protect me. Hence, your value to me is different.”
“What value do I hold for you? The one who can give you glory, the honor of being Princess Consort?” Li Hongyuan raised his eyebrows at her.
“Now that’s not a fair comment.”
“How is it not?”
“Wasn’t it you who used me first? You used the power of the Jiang Family to claim the position of Crown Prince. Why is it that only you can use others, but no one else can benefit from you?”
Li Hongyuan nodded, “You’re right. It seems like our relationship is based on mutual use.”
“So, I said, it’s a pleasure to cooperate.”
Li Hongyuan did a turn around her, put down Wenzan and Lingzi who he had been holding, letting them crawl around the carriage.
He reached out to pull Jiang Ning into his arms and, before she could react, kissed her fiercely on her lips.
“Does the cooperation include this too?” he asked in a low voice.
“What are you doing? The children are here!” Jiang Ning irritably pushed him.
Li Hongyuan looked at Wenzan and Lingzi.
The two little ones, with their round eyes wide open, were staring at them curiously, unsure of what they were doing.
“Daddy, Mommy.”
Lingzi walked to them, hugging their knees and sneaking between them.
As if trying to prevent Daddy from bullying Mommy.
Li Hongyuan reached out to pull Lingzi onto his lap, rubbing her little head, chuckled, “My little girl.”
He then leaned over and planted a kiss on his little girl’s soft cheek.
Lingzi laughed heartily.
Wenzan didn’t have such a privilege.
When they arrived at the Immortal-view Gate by carriage, Li Hongyuan, with Lingzi in his arms, did not let go at all.
The little girl sat on Daddy’s arm, looking curiously around.
It was clear to anyone who saw this that the newly appointed Crown Prince doted on his little daughter to the extreme.
Jiang Ning, holding Wenzan’s hand, trailed behind, followed by four maids – Huang Ying, Chunlai, Xiaoman, and a few attendants serving the little Princess and Crown Prince.
As for the possessions from the Mansion of Prince Yu, they had also been moved to the East Palace.
However, Jiang Ning did not care about these things.
She only cared about one thing.
“Where’s my private treasury?”
“Still in Prince Yu Mansion.” Li Hongyuan held Lingzi in one arm, “I don’t have the key to your private vault. No one dared to touch it. When you have time, you can go and sort it out yourself.”
Jiang Ning asked, “What will happen to the Mansion in the future?”
“A few people will be left to guard, clean from time to time.”
“Just leaving it empty?”
“Unless you want an end like the Prince of Huai, Prince Yu Mansion can still be kept for you.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Are you trying to scare me?”
“Things can be unpredictable.”
The two chatted sporadically as they entered the Imperial Palace.
As usual, they must first pay their respects to the Emperor and Empress.
In the public gaze, Jiang Ning, grandly dressed, held Wenzan’s hand, and walked slowly..
