I didn't expect him to actually come.

Gu Liuyan was speechless. His usually smart tongue was as stiff as wax.

In front of him, Sang Ning only glanced at Gu Pingyan for a second before leaving, closing the door gently behind him. He had instructed no one to enter and disturb him.

As for Duan Chengxuan, he seemed as if he had just arrived. His martial robe was covered in mud, and there was even quite a bit of yellow sand on his face.

There was also a faint smell of blood.

When the man sat down, Gu Danyan had already moved back slightly without leaving a trace behind. She looked at him warily: "You shouldn't have come over."

"Everyone thought that King Jing had disappeared. It was all thanks to Duan Feng's pursuit." Duan Chengxuan didn't get any closer. Back then, when they parted ways, their love was deep and lingering, but now, when they met, it was instead the two that were extremely cautious.

Luckily, with the help of the effects of the scarlet jade lake, the black crack that had seeped out of his heart no longer extended. At this moment, even Duan Chengxuan was unable to see through his spring clothes, and after a while, he only said one sentence, "You're the Crown Prince of Navy Tide …"

"I'm still your husband!" Duan Chengxuan smashed the cup onto the table with a 'pa' sound, causing a loud bang to ring out.

Gu Danyan was shocked. He looked at him with his eyes slightly wide open, thinking for a while and said: "Not anymore."

The flames in his chest soared all the way up, practically burning Duan Chengxuan's throat, causing him to be unable to say a single word.

The woman in front of him was clearly pregnant, yet she didn't become fat and white like the other girls. Instead, there was a light black Qing in her eyes. Other than a slight curve in her lower abdomen, she had even lost a lot of weight.

That was why he couldn't get angry.

The latter didn't move aside this time and only looked at him with a pair of emotionless eyes. Both of his hands were tightly clenched, and with his head lowered, Duan Chengxuan stretched out his hand with a probing expression. However, he was slapped away by Gu Meiyan's other hand.

"I'm anxious." Gu Liuyan's voice did not carry any emotion.

Duan Chengxuan's body went stiff, but in the end, he endured the urge to pull the person before him into his embrace and instead leaned close to her. "No matter what, it's impossible for me to let you stay in this place by yourself. Now, no one knows I'm here, so they all think I've gone missing."

"Your brother is standing alone with no help. I'm fine."

"Is this what you meant by 'all is well'?" Duan Chengxuan's hand descended onto her face, and when he felt that her face was slightly sunken because of his emaciation, he said in a deep voice, "You just can't learn to take care of yourself."

"I took good care of myself." Gu Danyan lowered his head in frustration and pulled his hand away, "Since I'm going to do these things, then I will do it to the end. You don't have to worry about me."

Duan Chengxuan tightened the remaining warmth in his hand and resisted his urge to flare up. He stood up and carried the woman in front of him horizontally, but Gu Meiyan actually obediently buried her head deeper, while her legs lightly trembled.

In the past ten days, she had only come over from that direction. She must have done quite a few things on the way, so she must have been a bit tired.

Outside the door, when Sang Ning saw that the two of them didn't seriously quarrel or make a move, he only glanced at Duan Cheng Xuan indifferently. "Prince, women are used to be in pain."

"What do you know?" Duan Chengxuan crossed the threshold.

"I don't know what happened between you two, but from that, she doesn't trust you at all." Sanin let out a cold laugh, raised his hand and led his men down the stairs on the other side.

Duan Chengxuan instead lowered his head to look at the person in his embrace, but that person had already closed his eyes and peacefully leaned against his chest, as if he had long since fallen asleep.

There was still too little time between them.

For the past few years, the person in his arms had not completely shed off his youthful face and maintained his principle and responsibility from the beginning to the end. However, he had never truly told him everything, never sharing any of his suffering, only keeping the sweetest fruits to lure him over.

The enraged Duan Cheng Xuan completely ignited her rage when she placed her opponent on the bed in the inn.

As soon as he came into contact with the bed, Gu Danyan opened her eyes and looked at him with those sparkling eyes of hers, "There's no one else here, let's have a good talk."

"Sang Ning will deal with anyone who gets in the way." Duan Chengxuan suppressed his rage and nearly squeezed out these words from the gaps between his teeth, "You clearly know you're pregnant, but why didn't you tell me and why didn't you go back?"

Gu Danyan was angered to the point that she started laughing when she saw Duan Cheng Xuan's angry expression. "Of course I'm afraid that what happened that year will happen again."

Gu Daiyan was extremely familiar with the feeling of having flesh and blood forcefully torn out of his body.

Half the night she repeated the terrible nightmare.

"I won't." Duan Chengxuan's shoulders drooped slightly. "I won't refute what happened that year, but, I'm sorry …."

"My mind tells me that everything that happened is in the past, but the reality is the opposite." Gu Mingyan turned her body to the side and buried herself in the soft blanket. She then said tiredly, "People all have feelings and desires, and I can't feel safe. Just treat it as a pregnant woman's pretense to send people to stay and take care of me, just like you staying by my side."

It may also be a punishment.

Duan Chengxuan's hand lifted Luoluo, but it did not truly land by Gu Danyan's side.

"You're right." But it was also very hurtful, and he deserved it.

The servant girl in the courtyard brushed shoulders with Duan Chengxuan, and they followed Sang Ning's instructions to go take care of her highness and help her take off her outer garment before covering her with a blanket, and then wait for her to bring warm food for her after she woke up.

At the door, Sang Ning had already removed his previously arrogant appearance and stood next to Chengshan respectfully. He said in a low voice, "They've already gone to investigate my identity, but as things stand now, they still don't know who the person behind this is."

"When they find out your identity, they might try to instigate them. It seems that Xiao Hai has completely turned traitor." Duan Chengxuan strolled through the long and complicated corridor to the study he had prepared a long time ago and instructed, "Chengshan, go find the ghost and investigate this person who suddenly appeared together with him. It just happens to be useful to have Sang Ning by my side in the future."

Cheng Shan left, and Sang Ning took a step forward. "Serving Your Highness."

"There's no need to be so serious, senior." Duan Chengxuan's cold face revealed a rare respectful smile. "If it wasn't for you bearing the blame for me that year, I wouldn't be here."

"As long as the two of us know about it." Sang Ninglang laughed a few times and propped himself up on the table with one hand. "On the other hand, that woman Yun is a hard nut to crack. In addition, you seem to have found immortality previously …"
