Chapter 112: Distinguishing Gratitude and Resentment
Ling Ning frowned and turned to look toward the rear window.
A Wan and A Yun didn't panic at all when they heard the voice. They unanimously bowed to Ling Ning, turned around and walked out calmly.
A man in white robe opened the window and jumped in nimbly.
Ling Ning's expression was slightly cold, and her voice was even colder: "His Royal Highness King Jing sneaked into the Ling family in broad daylight and was not stopped. This shows how lax the guards in the Ling family's house are."
King Jing paused, stood in front of the window and looked at Ling Ning, his eyebrows raised high: "In order to come to see you, I had sex in broad daylight, are you not touched at all?"
Ling Ning was silent and looked at him without saying a word.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" King Jing walked over and stood in front of her with his hands folded, "I heard everything you said to Ling Shuang just now."
Ling Ning hummed: "So?"
King Jing smiled with his eyebrows slightly curved, like a beautiful fox: "I heard your true words."
Ling Ning looked at him silently, her eyes as calm as water, somewhat unpredictable and profound.
"Ling Ning." King Jing bent down and easily trapped Ling Ning in his arms, "Admit it, you actually like me too."
This was determination, and there was a hint of arrogance and complacency in the rising tone.
Ling Ning said nothing, looking directly at his handsome face close at hand, and suddenly raised her hand to grab his chin.
King Jing was stunned, then he naturally held her hand and kissed her: "This is the first time you have been so intimate with me. Do you want to be scornful of me?"
Hot breath sprayed on the back of her hand. Ling Ning suppressed the restlessness in her heart and kept her tone calm: "Is this called intimacy?"
"Otherwise?" King Jing raised his eyebrows and narrowed his peach blossom eyes, as if he had seen through her pretended calmness, "Do you want to be more intimate?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Ning raised her foot and kicked him in the heart.
With King Jing's skills, it was natural that he would not be able to avoid it. However, he just used his evasive posture to turn over, stagger, and "fall" onto Ling Ning's body very smoothly.
Time seemed to stand still.
Ling Ning's expression darkened.
"I didn't mean it." King Jing looked at her innocently, "I was unprepared just now and suddenly panicked."
Ling Ning believed his evil intentions: "Get out."
"Yes." King Jing obediently stood up from her and moved to the side to sit upright, "Your eldest sister wants to eat swan meat, so don't pay attention to her."
Ling Ning picked up the tea cup and concealed her momentary gaffe: "I didn't take her seriously at all."
"Well, that's good." King Jing tilted his head with a smile on his face, "You said you would think about it carefully. How did you think about it?"
Ling Ning said nothing because the tea was cold, and she was pouring tea for herself with her eyes closed.
Thoughts arose in my heart. Actually, it wasn't that I couldn't agree to him, it was just King Jing's temperament...
Ling Ning glanced at him calmly.
With King Jing's temperament, if she told the truth that she had figured it out, would his tail be raised to the sky?
"Peeping at me?" King Jing raised his eyebrows, "Ning'er, I know that I am good-looking. If you want to look at me, just look at me openly. Don't feel embarrassed."
So thick-skinned.
Ling Ning twitched the corner of her mouth and slowly leaned back on the soft couch: "I went shopping with Princess Nanyang today."
There was no trace of surprise on King Jing's face: "Oh."
Not only did he know that they went shopping, he also knew that they didn't buy anything and went to a teahouse to sit for a while after shopping.
So shopping is not the real purpose.
Moreover, it was Ling Ning, a woman who never liked shopping, who took the initiative to invite Yan Li... Tsk.
A clear smile flashed across King Jing's eyes, but he took her face into consideration with great grace and did not expose her.
"Did you enjoy your visit?" he asked.
"It's not bad." Ling Ning nodded, her voice so light that no emotion could be heard, "Princess Nanyang is different from other women."
King Jing leaned against her side, the two of them were very close: "You seem to like her quite a lot."
"You don't like it?" Ling Ning tilted her head to look at him, "If you didn't like it, why did you give her the token for the Wei family's ticket number?"
King Jing was silent for a moment, then a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "Are you jealous?"
"fart."
"Girl, don't be so rude." King Jing raised his hand and rubbed her head, "I gave her the token of the Wei family to thank her for indirectly helping me terminate the engagement given by my father."
Although Yan Li was not trying to help him, Yan Li was indeed responsible for the incident between Gu Anxian and Mu Wenxuan.
And this directly led to the destruction of Gu Anxian's reputation and she could only marry Mu Wenxuan.
King Jing is the biggest beneficiary.
As a beneficiary of what you have reaped, isn’t it normal to give back a little thank you gift?
Ling Ning frowned and was silent for a moment, "What do you think of Princess Nanyang?"
"Pretty good." King Jing replied casually, "She is a woman who has a clear sense of grudges and grudges."
Ling Ning shook her head: "As an orphan fostered in a big family, her identity is not enough to support her in taking revenge."
So people thought that she should be a submissive, humble and timid little girl, but Yan Li was not.
"But she did it." King Jing's eyebrows showed deep thought, "So you think there is something wrong with her identity?"
"It's hard to say." Ling Ning hesitated, "But what is certain is that she only targets those who plotted against her, and her grudges are indeed clear."
"A woman whose engagement was broken off by the prince was able to catch the eyes of Uncle Nine Emperors." King Jing smiled, "She is indeed extraordinary."
"In addition to winning the eyes of the Ninth Prince, she is also particularly favored by the Emperor." Ling Ning frowned, "Aren't you worried at all?"
"What's there to worry about?" King Jing couldn't help but rub her head again, "No matter what secrets she has, it has nothing to do with us."
Ling Ning's expression softened slightly, and she really wanted to ask him, what if the secrets about Yan Li were related to the country of Mu?
But in the end there was no question.
Because there is no point in asking.
Although Yan Li was just an orphan, she couldn't help but admire her temperament, temperament, and behavior.
Ling Ning's intuition told her that Yan Li was not a person with ulterior motives. Regardless of whether she had any secrets, she was a woman worthy of close friendship.
"The Ling family has a great business, many dependents, and each room has always lived under the same roof. It is inevitable that there will be some conflicts of interest." King Jing suddenly said, "The eldest lady is very overbearing. It is best to separate as soon as possible."
Ling Ning came back to her senses, her eyes subtle: "Do you suggest that I get married early, or do you want us to separate our families?"
"I have no control over the separation of families, and I have no right to interfere." King Jing smiled, "But I can still do it by marrying you early."
The men of the Ling family are all guarding the border. If there is no peace at home, it will not be conducive to the harmony between father, son and brothers.
So it is impractical to separate families.
Ling Ning said nothing and quickly changed the subject: "Are you really mentally prepared to give up the title of Prince?"
