Along the way, the Duke had thought of hundreds and thousands of ways to beat Ji Yunkai. For example, he would lift her up to his lap and give her a good beating. Or he could hold her under his body and give her a good beating …

In short, he had to beat Ji Yunkai up hard in order to teach Ji Yunkai a lesson. He would not dare to be so reckless next time, and would use his body as a joke.

But the prince did not like it.

His entire being sank down, his footsteps gentle, his back curved slightly as he walked to Ji Yunkai's bedside. He knelt down on one knee, and gently held Ji Yunkai's hand.

"I suddenly understand why you did this."

Or it could be said that Ji Yunkai was used to relying on herself for everything. The moment the matters with the Ji Family happened, the counterattack she thought of would come from her own hands, so she didn't think of using him to suppress the Ji Family at all.

Or maybe he just didn't say it out loud, and he … He was used to believing in Ji Yunkai, believing that Ji Yunkai could accomplish anything. He also believed that after everything that had happened, he would be different from Ji Yunkai.

In the end, he was too confident. He and Ji Yunkai were still the same, Ji Yunkai still chose to rely on his own strength to counterattack, and completely did not use his own consciousness using his own power.

"It's my fault. I gave you too little, and I wanted too much." The Duke held Ji Yunkai's hand and gently caressed his face.

The two of them were so good that it was natural. He had forgotten to tell Ji Yunkai the identity of Xiao Jiu'an's wife and how much power she held in her hands.

The two of them were so much better than normal. Ji Yunkai's consideration, shouldn't be called consideration, but Ji Yunkai's retreat was really too natural. He had forgotten that Ji Yunkai did not do this, and thus liked him so much, that he placed him at the top of his heart.

had never asked him, he was only used to not saying anything, and had forgotten about it. How could the intelligent Ji Yunkai take the initiative to ask about that, and clearly go beyond the boundaries of the normal world?

Ji Yunkai was such a smart girl. She clearly knew what she had to do in order to lead a better life, but emotions were feelings, and reason was reason. If she really met with a crisis, her emotions might not dominate, but it would affect her decision-making.

Just like now, when the matter of the Ji Family came out, she instinctively believed that she could only rely on herself, while he, Xiao Jiu'an, could not.

"In the future, can we be honest about everything?" "I do not hide it from you, you do not deceive me; I do not compel you, and you do not wrong yourself." He had always known that Ji Yunkai had always wronged him, was retreating. But he also knew that if he wasn't overbearing and didn't force Ji Yunkai, he and Ji Yunkai would never be able to do it.

"I know about your mother, and I tell you now, about my mother. My mother is the princess of the Revelation, the younger sister of the late emperor, the aunt of the emperor, and my father is the emperor of Beichen. He is the Seventh Prince of Beichen, and I am the Ninth Prince of Beichen. "Back then …" The Duke held Ji Yunkai's hand and mumbled a lot of things …

Ji Yunkai laid on his bed, motionless.

She could not move, nor did she dare to move, much less how she was going to face this sort of prince.

Her injuries weren't that severe. She woke up as soon as the prince stepped out of the door. She pretended to be asleep and refused to wake up, but she didn't want to face the prince's scolding. She didn't want to have to trouble herself with explaining to him when her head was aching to death.

She had thought about the various reactions the prince would give when he saw her, but she had never thought that such a domineering and self-centered person like him would suddenly become so emotional and say something … It was a question that made her even more unsure of how to answer.

Ji Yunkai had the urge to smash his own foot with a boulder, especially when he heard the Duke reveal his identity, Ji Yunkai felt like crying …

She had not asked this question because she did not want to touch upon any taboo. She simply did not want to ask.

The more they knew, the more they would die. The more they would know, the more fetters they would feel...

She and the prince were husband and wife, not bad, but she always remembered one sentence, close to the husband and wife. Her relationship with the prince was not deep enough to face everything. She did not want to know too much, did not want to be tied to the prince too deeply. She just wanted to muddle along like this, day by day.

She didn't want to be so negative, but that was her character. She would go with the flow and settle down. No matter what situation she was in, the first thing she thought of was how to make herself live a better life.

She had always been by herself, she was a selfish person. No matter what happened, the first thing she thought of was to protect herself and let herself live.

She did not have any ambition, nor did she have the thought of establishing a great achievement. She also did not have the desire to become a supreme being, to be able to rule over all the people in the world.

She had never thought about what kind of love she wanted, what kind of lover she wanted, what kind of lover she wanted, what kind of lover she wanted. She had seen many lovers who loved each other to the fullest extent of their strength, yet in the end, they were all flaming each other.

As the prince had said, he wanted too much and she couldn't afford to give it to him. The only thing she could do was pretend to be stupid and stay in the city day after day.

However, the prince didn't seem to be willing, and unexpectedly exposed it at this time.

How troublesome.

Ji Yunkai closed his eyes, and didn't even dare to move. He tried his best to maintain a steady breathing, so as to not let the Duke discover that she had woken up.

Only God knew that she didn't want to hear any secrets from the Prince, but the Prince's words automatically entered her ears and into her mind, making it impossible for her not to listen even if she wanted to.

This is a real headache.
