Marry

66

Wen Ning was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep. She slowly got up and stared blankly at the moonlight outside, looking somewhat confused...

Xiao Yunci has been taking a bath for a long time. Did he fall into the bathtub and can't get out? Or... he won't come back tonight.

Come back...I shouldn't use this word. After all, she is not his real crown princess.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the floor of the wing room, as if a layer of icing sugar was sprinkled on the ground.

Wen Ning felt that being in a daze like this was not a good idea, so she slowly lay down and forced herself to close her eyes.

But as soon as she closed her eyes, Xiao Yunci's dark brown eyes with a complex expression appeared in her mind. The expression was still as incomprehensible as usual, but inexplicably frightening.

What on earth was he thinking?

Wen Ning turned over.

Does he not want to be near me anymore?

Wen Ning opened her eyes, and then tried to close them again.

...Is it because they get too close to men that they react like this, out of control?

Will Qi Weiming be the same and end up together with Zhou Mingyan?

But Xiao Yunci would not do that. He is very calm and would make rational choices.

No, the only time he lost his composure today in the carriage was because I almost got into danger because of him.

Wen Ning slowly turned her eyes to the empty space beside her, then she involuntarily reached out her hand and slowly touched the pillow that Xiao Yunci had used before.

I have to say, he is really nice.

Wen Ning was suddenly startled and sat up abruptly.

What's wrong with me?

She just felt confused and inexplicably uneasy. She seemed to be worried about many things, but at the moment, the most urgent thing to worry about was the banquet that had not yet started preparations.

But she couldn't think about the banquet at all. Xiao Yunci's voice was still in her ears, and her hands seemed to still have his warmth. She felt as if she was poisoned.

Wen Ning felt that something was wrong with her. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help it. After a while of silence, she gently opened the door.

Sure enough, there was someone guarding outside, and it was Deng Wu.

Deng Wu seemed a little sleepy. When Wen Ning opened the door, he was pecking at rice with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second.

"Your Highness the Crown Princess." Deng Wu found that the door was opened by Wen Ning, and immediately stood up and saluted. He was a little surprised. It was so late, and the Crown Princess was still awake?

He quickly asked, "What do you want?"

"Where is the Crown Prince?" Wen Ning couldn't help but ask.

"His Highness was afraid that you were asleep, so he did not come in to disturb you. He only asked me to tell you that he went to the study to handle government affairs." Deng Wu said cautiously.

Wen Ning nodded slowly, preparing to go back to her room. She popped her head out at the last minute and said, "I'm just asking casually. It's nothing. You don't have to tell His Highness."

"Yes." Deng Wu understood.

Wen Ning closed the door, Deng Wu held his chin, and prepared to take a nap, but suddenly he heard the door ring again.
