Rui Royal Mansion.

When Nan Yue returned to Pi Qing Yuan, she had people prepare hot water to bathe in before going to bed.

Perhaps it was because he had a child, and he was especially prone to drowsiness these days.

Plus, he was indeed a bit tired tonight. Lying on the bed for a while, he soon fell asleep.

The winter night was very quiet. Besides the occasional rustling of the leaves in the wind, there was no other sound.

Suddenly, with a creak, the door was pushed open and shut.

The person paused at the door, and with light footsteps, he walked towards the sleeping person.

He raised his hand to remove the white veil, revealing a thin, fair, and small face in front of his eyes.

He slowly sat in front of her. His long fingers gently lifted the hair on her face and traced along the outline of her face. His eagle-eyes gradually appeared lost, and became deeper and deeper.

With an itchy face, Nan Yue slightly furrowed her brows and her pink lips moved, as if she was mumbling something.

The tracing finger stopped, and then it slid down to her abdomen, softly supporting her through the bedding, a few ripples of gentleness popping out of her eyes.

Through the thick barrier, he suddenly opened the blanket and accurately entered her clothes, touching it with his hands.

The sudden surge of cold wind caused Nan Yue to shiver. She immediately woke up from her stupor.

She opened her eyes wide when she saw a black shadow sitting in front of the bed. She was about to cry out when the person covered her mouth first, and then a strong force pressed down on her.

Nan Yue's first reaction was to cover her stomach with her hands. Her large eyes were filled with fear, and when he pressed down, it was like a huge shadow, causing the already dark room to look like it had fallen into a dark well.

Cold sweat trickled down his back, and his heart was beating wildly.

Feeling the abnormal trembling of her body, the person who came reached out his hand to stroke her hair and said in a soft voice, "Don't be afraid, it's This King!"

Tuoba Rui?!

Nan Yue closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. Suddenly, anger rose in her heart, and her hand that was placed on her abdomen fiercely pushed him away. She coldly opened her eyes and stared at him.

Tuoba Rui nimbly grabbed her hands and placed them on both sides of the pillow. Without getting angry, he smirked and said, "This King enters This King's woman's room in broad daylight. How can it be called playing tricks on me?!"

Nan Yue's expression turned cold, and struggled to get her hands on something, "Your Highness' memory isn't good? "Your woman is currently in Clear Stream Academy, if Prince doesn't remember the way, I'll ask the little girl to send you there."

Even in the darkness, he could feel the coldness in her eyes. Tuoba Rui's eyes dimmed and he pursed his lips, not saying anything. However, the strength in his hand only increased.

Nan Yue struggled for a while, but was unable to break free. She was discouraged and temporarily stopped struggling.

The disparity in strength between a man and a woman was something that she now deeply understood.

Her heart was pounding. This man's performance tonight was too strange, so she couldn't help but be on guard.

The person beneath her finally quieted down. Tuoba Rui stared at her for a long time before he said faintly, "Nan Yue, quietly listen to what Ben Wang has to say. Ben Wang will leave immediately after I finish speaking."

Nan Yue's face stiffened. She frowned as she tried her best to see his expression, but she couldn't. He almost blocked the only weak light that surrounded him. Her throat moved, and she said after a long while, "I hope Your Highness will keep your word!"

Tuoba Rui sneered. He let go of her hand and sat down on the bed. His gaze fell on her lower abdomen and he reached out his hand to stroke her belly.

His gaze shifted to his face. At this moment, as the starlight shone through the window, it actually covered his face, making it seem soft and unreal. He lowered his eyes, his gaze focused on her lower abdomen, and his lips couldn't help but slightly bend to the sides.

She had never seen him like this before.

Her dead heart, yet it still rippled like this for his gentle appearance. She hated herself for this, hated herself very much!

Tuoba Rui lingered on her stomach for a while before pulling the blanket over her. Only then did he turn his gaze towards her and looked deeply at her. "Nan Yue, I've thought about it seriously these few days. I think I've already fallen in love with you …"

His words made Nan Yue explode, and she suddenly felt that her brain wasn't working properly, "You, what did you say?!"

A slight blush appeared on Tuoba Rui's pale cheeks. He frowned and said again, "This King said that This King has already fallen in love with you!"

This was probably the most 'weird' sentence she had ever heard in her life!

Tuoba Rui actually said to her: He's in love with her?!

Nan Yue swallowed her saliva and looked at him in shock. "Tuoba Rui, have you gone mad?"

"…" Tuoba Rui's face instantly darkened and his lips twitched violently. "Nan Yue, are you a woman or not?"

He had thought about it countless times, and how she would react when he said that, but this was the only result. This woman actually said that he was crazy?!

When a normal woman hears a man confessing to her, shouldn't she blush and feel her heart palpitating, shy and excited? What's more, he was an outstanding man with a respectable identity.

However, her face was not red and her heart was not beating. She was not shy nor was she excited. She directly looked at him as if he were a madman.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He leaned over her body, his chest pressing firmly against her height, yet perfectly avoiding her stomach. He said fiercely, "Nanyue, I'm not crazy. I'm very awake right now. Listen clearly, I'm in love with you!"

The weight of the crushing down on her caused her to be incapable of even breathing, and yet, it was still no match for the shock she felt in her heart.

Nan Yue closed her eyes and tried to sort out her thoughts, but her hands were trembling.

His words were too sudden. She had already accepted the fact that he loved Ye Qingqing very much. Yet, he suddenly ran over to tell her that he loved her?!

Shaking her head, she didn't believe a single word he said. "Tuoba Rui, this is another trick you're playing, isn't it?"

"Nan Yue!" Tuoba Rui couldn't bear it any longer and shouted with a flushed face, "This King will definitely not use emotion to trick you …" This is the first time This King has said that to a woman! "

After he finished his sentence, the two of them fell into a period of silence.

Nan Yue's breathing stopped, and her heart started pounding uncontrollably.

He said this was the first time he had said this to a woman? What about Ye Qingqing? Didn't he say that …?

Tuoba Rui laid down beside her. After a long while, he said faintly, "Back in the carriage, you were lying under me on your deathbed. Your face was so pale that it looked like you would turn into smoke and fly away in the next moment. Ben …" He turned to look at her. "This King is afraid. This King is afraid that something will really happen to you. At that time, This King knew that you are different in This King's heart."

"Later on, you threatened my child with your life so that I would divorce you. For a heartless woman like you, This King could kill you with one strike, but This King was even more ruthless. This King was thinking at the time that This King would rather have his child die than not release you."

At that time, This King thought that it was because This King did not want to be coerced by you that This King would rather have his child die than let you off. But afterwards, Vietnam secretly came to see you a few times, and you all thought that I didn't know … "

Sneering, "Vietnam is indeed a good place, but it's not that easy to enter King Rui's Palace. If it wasn't for me doing it intentionally, how could there be no one else in this king's mansion?

This King sees the two of you talking and laughing. Seeing your completely different attitude towards him and toward This King, you will smile at him, but you will only look at This King with a downcast face. When you speak to him, you are always gentle.

"This King is jealous of Nan Yue. This King also wants you to smile at This King, only at This King. This King has always smiled."

As he spoke, he took her wrist in his hand and ran his finger along her night bead ring. Suddenly, the bead slipped off her wrist and hooked itself onto one of his fingers.

That was the buddhist bead that Vietnam moved to take for her!

Nan Yue looked at his actions with a complicated expression. Her throat felt as if it was being scratched by a soft little hand. She felt a little uncomfortable.

"Nan Yue, no matter what kind of past you and Vietnam have had, I want you. From today onwards, you must always think of me in your heart, and even if you haven't fallen in love with me yet, I'm confident that in the future, you'll fall in love with me."

A consistent order and a domineering attitude!

Nan Yue looked at him quietly, her eyes slightly red. Her words were calm, "Tuoba Rui, if you want me to be the only one in my heart, then what about you? "Can you only think of me, Nan Yue, in your heart?"

Tuoba Rui frowned and stared at her with his tightly-lipped lips. After a while, he said, "Nan Yue, you want to be alone?!"
