BXBX NOVEL Chapter 319: Trust in me.
Zheng Liang, observing his wife\'s beautiful face as she rested, spoke, "You didn\'t say anything when you went outside in the morning. Is that a secret?" He asked while playing with a few strands of her hair, gently curling them around his finger, adoring his beautiful wife who looked even more gorgeous after their intimate moment.
Her hair was tousled, her eyes droopy from tiredness, and her body covered in marks.
With her lying naked under the covers, hugging him close while resting, it was difficult for him to control himself. However, he knew that she didn\'t have the energy anymore, and he needed to stop here. Otherwise, his wife would surely send him to exile in the guest chambers for some time.
The idea of exile, away from his wife, felt like a kind of torture he couldn\'t bear. It would be like hell for him.
Yang Ning, who had her eyes closed but was not sleeping, opened her eyes upon hearing his question and looked up at him. With a smile, she shook her head and replied, "It\'s no surprise. I went outside to meet a friend."
"Meet a friend? Do I know that friend?"
Yang Ning shook her head and said, "I am not sure. But you might have seen her before. I went to the Wang Residence to meet Zhu Yating, the second consort of Lord Wang. I met her at the tea party of Lady Guo and had a brief encounter with her. I wanted to make friends with her, so I went there." She replied honestly while keeping a few secrets to herself.
Zheng Liang frowned and tried to remember whom Yang Ning was talking about. When he recalled who Lord Wang was, he asked to confirm his curiosity, "Lord Wang? Is he the Head of the Royal Bureau of Investigation?"
Yang Ning nodded while snuggling her face into his neck, seeking more warmth. Enjoy new chapters from мѵʟ
A slight furrow appeared on Zheng Liang\'s forehead upon hearing his name. He had heard about this person from Gu Lan before, and while investigating Yang Luoyang and the cases related to him, he realized that it was this man who was always in charge and had personally carried out the investigation against Yang Luoyang, proving him to be clear of any faults like a blank sheet of paper.
One time could be a coincidence, but could it be a coincidence every time?
He glanced at Yang Ning and said seriously, "Yang Ning, I usually don\'t stop you from doing anything. However, as your husband, I would like to stop you now. I don\'t want you to engage with Lord Wang or his consorts in the future. You can go anywhere and make friends with anyone, but not them.
I cannot explain anything to you yet because it\'s not concrete, but I would suggest you stay away from Wang Residence."
Yang Ning was silent for a moment, which caused Zheng Liang to grow worried that she might have misunderstood his words. Before he could say something, Yang Ning started, "I know that you care for me, but I want you to know that I can take care of myself. Just like you\'re the Crown Prince of the Empire, I am also the Crown Princess and have my duties as well."
"Zheng Liang, just like how I believe in everything you do, I want you to believe in me as well. I understand your worries, but I won\'t be able to do what you\'re asking me this time." She said while looking into his eyes with seriousness.
"I have my reasons, and you will soon find out about my intentions as well. It would be great if you could believe in me and let me do whatever I am doing for a while. Also, I am happy that you told me this. It shows that you care for me like I do for you. However, I will not let anyone harm me or you in any way. So just trust in me, alright?" She raised her hand and caressed his face lovingly.
Zheng Liang could see sincerity and seriousness in her eyes. He nodded and understood that there must be something that she isn\'t speaking, but knowing her for all this while, he understood that she wouldn\'t do anything that would harm him or his position in any way.
He caressed her soft face and gave her a soft peck on her lips and said, "If that\'s what you want, I won\'t say anything. However, you have to take care of yourself, no matter what. I can bear everything but not seeing you hurt."
Yang Ning smiled and shook her head, "I won\'t get hurt. Don\'t worry."
After she completed her words, there was complete silence between the two. Zheng Liang pursed his lips and was about to lean in for another kiss when he heard a loud grumble from her stomach.
Feeling embarrassed, Yang Ning pushed him away, turned around, avoided facing him, covered her face with her hands, and replied, "Don\'t say anything. Don\'t you dare to laugh, otherwise, I will kill you."
Zheng Liang was amused to see his embarrassed wife and chuckled at her avoiding him by threatening to kill him. "My wife, you\'re forgetting that your husband is the Crown Prince. Are you sure you\'re allowed to make such threats to me? Aren\'t you afraid of the consequences?"
Yang Ning frowned and blurted out, "So what? I am also the Crown Princess. Others may not, but I can surely kill you. Do you want to try?" She said confidently.
Zheng Liang tried to suppress his laughter at his wife\'s empty threats, hugged her tightly from behind, gave her a loud kiss on her naked back that was covered with crimson marks, and got down from the bed. He covered himself with the sleeping robe and said, "Although as much as I want to try, I think I need to arrange food first for my dear wife.
After all, it was my fault that you missed your lunch. I cannot keep you hungry for longer." He said and prepared to leave the chamber to order the maids to prepare their meals.
Yang Ning, wrapped in the blanket, covered her head as well. She couldn\'t help but feel embarrassed at the thought of him going outside the chamber to order the maids. It would be like announcing to everyone that something happened inside the chamber.
Argh! So embarrassing!
