Rumor Has It That I'm Pregnant with His Highness' Child

64 Protect You Well

Yu Niaoniao told him about the rumors between her and Duke Lang.

When she finished, Shen Junzhi asked slowly, “So you’re not really in love with the Prince of Lang?”

Yu Niaoniao nodded generously. “That’s right. It’s just a rumor. There’s actually nothing between me and Duke Lang.”

Shen Junzhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.

“Since you have no feelings for Duke Lang, wouldn’t it be very unfair to you if you really married him?”

Yu Qianqian picked up a piece of red bean cake and threw it into her mouth. She said vaguely, “There’s nothing we can do about it. The emperor has already given the order for us to marry. We can’t disobey, right?”

Shen Junzhi said, “I can help you fake your death and escape. In the future, you can leave the Imperial Capital and go anywhere you want. You don’t have to be restrained anymore.”

As soon as he said this, Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui were shocked.

Yu Niaoniao did not even care about the pastries and hurriedly said, “Are you crazy? Do you know what the crime of resisting the decree is? You’ll lose your head!”

Shen Junzhi laughed softly, her voice still soft.

“You always call me brother. I should do my duty as a brother and protect you well. Let you live the life you want. As for my safety, there’s no need for you to worry. I have my own arrangements. I’m sure nothing will happen.”

He said it casually as if it was really a very simple matter.

But Yu Niaoniao was not a three-year-old child. How could she really believe his words?

She shook her head in refusal. “Thank you for the offer. It’s not necessary.”

Shen Junzhi looked at her deeply.

“Your lifelong happiness is at stake. I suggest you give it some more thought.”

Yu Niaoniao still shook her head. “There’s really no need.”

For some reason, the usually gentle and easygoing Shen Junzhi was especially persistent about this matter.

“Go back and think about it. When you figure it out, you can come here to find me here anytime.”

Yu Niaoniao wanted to say something else, but he stopped her with a gesture.

He did not give her a chance to refuse.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room. The shopkeeper of the tea shop walked in and spoke respectfully.

“Boss, Mr. Li has something to ask you.”

Shen Junzhi frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.

Yu Niaoniao said, “Brother Junzhi, go do your thing. There’s still time. We’ll meet another day.”

Shen Junzhi said, “Then let’s meet another day.”

He stood up and instructed the shopkeeper.

“Put all the accounts here in my name.”

“There.”

When Shen Junzhi reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Yu Niaoniao.

“You have to think carefully about what I told you just now. Nothing is more important than your lifelong happiness.”

Yu Niaoniao nodded and agreed.

After everyone left, Dang Gui dared to whisper, “Young Master Shen doesn’t seem to want you to marry Prince Lang.”

Yu Niaoniao casually picked up a boiled peanut and said as she peeled it.

“He’s been like that since he was a kid. He loves to worry. He’s only three years older than me, but he loves to control me even more than my father.”

Dang Gui originally wanted to ask Yu Niaoniao if Young Master Shen was interested in her, but she was rendered speechless by Yu Niaoniao’s answer.

It turned out that in Yu Niaoniao’s heart, Shen Junzhi was similar to her father. Since they were father and daughter, what else could they say?

Before Shen Junzhi left, he had said that he had already paid the bill.

Holding onto the principle of not wasting food, Yu Niaoniao called a waiter over and packed all the food on the table.

They carried the heavy food box out. When they passed the door of a private room, they accidentally heard a woman talk.

“Yu Pingping’s cousin has already been convicted. Her family might be implicated. Why are you still willing to invite her here for tea?”
