"Qingqing, I really didn't do this!" Ning Yan quickly explained. His peach blossom eyes were a little flustered, and his face showed he was at a loss. After all, these things happened too suddenly, and it was really an accident.
"Things have come to this point and cannot be changed. If you let me go to Lan Cang, it won't hinder your freedom. Isn't this the best of both worlds?" An Xin once again clarified her position.
"Do you really like Xiao Yu that much?" Ning Yan's focus was still here.
After all, he is a man, and an emperor.
"Zi Yu and I are close friends, so naturally there are many topics to talk about with him. I'm just tired of staying by your side." An Xin didn't want to continue to be angry and provoke Ning Yan, so she spoke out her true feelings.
"What about the cute baby? Are you going to abandon him and just walk away?" At this moment, Ning Yan seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. He intended to use the child to keep An Xin.
"She is my child, yes, but he is also the future crown prince of Ningguo. He is destined to be different from other children, and he must shoulder certain responsibilities from an early age. I believe he will stay with you." An Xin felt a little reluctant, but could only say this.
"Qingqing, you can't leave me, don't force me..." Ning Yan was afraid instinctively and pretended to threaten.
An Xin looked at Ning Yan, feeling helpless and exhausted. They had been in a cold war for so long, and there were indeed so many things and people between them. Was it that easy to get back to the way things were before? It would be better to calm down for a while.
An Xin felt that she was extremely sober and rational at this moment. She did not take away any emotion, but described the incident very objectively, as if she had detached her soul and watched it all quietly.
At this moment, An Xin suddenly looked up at Ning Yan and asked, "Ning Yan, what are you most afraid of?"
Ning Yan saw An Xin looking at him and said, "If I used to be most afraid of not taking revenge on the Liang family, I would fall first, but now what I fear most is that you leave me..."
An Xin glanced at him calmly and said, "Are you afraid that I will hurt myself?"
Ning Yan looked at An Xin in shock after hearing this, and said in disbelief: "Qingqing, please don't embarrass me..."
I didn't expect An Xin's disgust for him had reached the point where she was willing to hurt herself!
"Is it difficult? Isn't it the same for me? If you were me, do you think you could break through all the shackles? Do I have to be with you if I have a clear conscience?" An Xin suddenly asked back, every word was heart-wrenching!
Ning Yan was stunned when he heard An Xin's words. He had indeed always been thinking about the problem from his own perspective, but he had never put himself in An Xin's shoes. If he were An Xin, Ning Yan wondered if he would do better than An Xin, or even worse than An Xin.
Afterwards, An Xin said this without even looking at Ning Yan, and then threatened: "I will not eat until you let me go. You can just wait to collect my body."
Then, An Xin joked with interest: "When the time comes, prepare a coffin of the best golden nanmu wood for me. I like that wood very much."
Seeing that An Xin seemed relaxed, Ning Yan spoke in a joking tone, but his heart sank more and more, as if he had sunk into an endless purgatory and was being tortured by fire.
In the end, Ning Yan still couldn't face An Xin's series of interrogations, and he quickly ran away from the Pepper Room.
An Xin looked at Ning Yan's back as he left, and inexplicably found herself a little funny. She never expected that one day she would use her own safety as a bet to threaten a man who loved her very much and force him to let her go. In the end, it was because Ning Yan cared about her and loved her.
Thinking of this, An Xin laughed at herself for a while.
After calming down, she hurried to the side hall to see the cute baby.
She had been struggling with the emotional entanglement between Ning Yan and herself, but she ignored the fact that there was a cute baby around her who needed to be carefully taken care of.
Today is the day to make things clear with Mengbao. Although Mengbao is only a one-year-old child, he has a mind as smart as a demon and is quite intelligent.
When they arrived at the side hall, Jianying saw Anxin and was a little surprised that the conversation between Anxin and Ning Yan ended so quickly. Anxin looked at Jianying and said, "Jianying, go down first. I have something to say to Mengbao."
Upon hearing this, Silhouette agreed, then quickly left the side hall and closed the door.
An Xin looked at the cute baby who was playing with the little Lingzhi, walked up to him and gently touched his head, saying in a gentle voice: "Baby, mother wants to tell you something..."
When Meng Bao saw An Xin coming, he was also very happy and showed his little tiger teeth. He touched the tail of Xiao Lingzhi and said, "Mom, tell me what's the matter!"
An Xin stroked Meng Bao's head and said reluctantly, "Mother may have to leave Ningguo in a while..."
Hearing this, Meng Bao looked up at You Anxin, and asked with doubts in his big round eyes: "Why, mother, there is a beautiful palace here, there are beautiful clothes, there is also my father, and there is also you, why do you want to leave here?"
An Xin listened to Meng Bao's childish words, smiled gently, and said: "It seems that Meng Bao still likes it here. But mother doesn't like it. It's tiring for mother to stay here. Soon, I will leave here and go to Lan Cang."
Meng Bao's clever eyes turned, and he continued to ask: "Mother, is it Father who made you angry? Or are you angry and Meng Bao went to find Father? I won't go there anymore, please don't leave here, mother?"
An Xin touched his head and said, "My child, you are still young, you don't know the twists and turns involved. Is your mother really sad? This is more sad than when others say that your parents are not around..."
“Then let mom go…” Meng Bao said in a grandmother’s voice with a hint of worry and heartache in her round eyes.
An Xin was a little surprised. She thought it would take a long time to persuade Meng Bao, but unexpectedly, Meng Bao agreed after just a few words.
At this time, Meng Bao gently approached An Xin, held An Xin's hand, and blew a few times. She said: "Mom, don't be sad, don't be sad, Meng Bao will blow you away. All the sadness in your heart will be blown away."
Seeing Mengbao's warm and thoughtful behavior, Anxin burst into tears. He wiped his tears with difficulty and said, "Mengbao, why did you suddenly agree?"
Meng Bao said in a childish voice: "Because Meng Bao knows how sad I was when those palace servants said that my father and mother were not together. Now Meng Bao heard mother say that mother is more miserable than Meng Bao before. Meng Bao hopes that mother can be happier. Anyway, mother must be reluctant to leave me, and she will definitely meet Meng Bao when she has the chance in the future."
An Xin felt distressed and relieved. She smiled, kissed Meng Bao's little face, and said, "Okay, I will ask your uncle or Aunt Su Ya to send you to see me, and then we can see each other often."
Then, An Xin asked tentatively: "Doesn't Meng Bao want to leave with his mother?"
Meng Bao looked at An Xin, then patted An Xin's head, and said confidently: "Of course I want to leave with my mother, but Meng Bao is different from my mother. Meng Bao cannot leave Ningguo, because I will be the heir to the Ningguo throne in the future. Meng Bao must stay here and fight for a place for my mother. What if you go somewhere else and get bullied, or if you miss me and have no place to live? I must guard this place and the Pepper House. Because this is the home of me, my mother, and my father..."
