Chapter 9: My Boyfriend Won't Let You Off Easy (Short Version)

“Luo'er...”

An intimate address came from Ning Honglie's mouth. Immediately following, he made a perfect, elegant entrance, stepping to Chu Yunluo's side.

“What are these people doing?”

“They got lost and asked a mad dog for directions, but the mad dog pointed them the wrong way.” Chu Yunluo turned her face slightly and gave Ning Honglie a flirtatious smile.

The crowd felt another wave of chills. This man before them was so handsome; his eyes must be blind. How could he possibly have such an ugly woman as his girlfriend?

Fatty He froze for a long moment before finally realizing that the "mad dog" she mentioned was himself. He immediately began stomping his feet in rage: “Prince Xuan, this woman is lying! She clearly has a son! And a daughter, they are fraternal twins! I saw it with my own eyes!”

“You're getting more and more ridiculous! First you say I have a son, and now a daughter pops out of nowhere. You dead fatso, your skin is truly itching for a beating, isn't it?”

Chu Yunluo crossed her arms, a look of anticipation in her eyes.

“Don't be angry, Luo'er. Leave this dead fatso to me.” Ning Honglie smiled and pulled her close, his words growing increasingly intimate.

From the moment Ning Honglie appeared, Yuwen Jing's gaze had not left his side.

This man possessed an innate, noble aura; he was most likely from a royal family. As for the royal family of the Yutian Kingdom, it was impossible for Yuwen Jing not to recognize them. Therefore, this person must belong to one of the other two countries. Seeing his fine, fair skin, he likely hailed from the Nanzhao Kingdom.

That Chu Yunluo actually had connections with the Nanzhao royal family was something Yuwen Jing had not anticipated.

“Prince Xuan, I have many witnesses to prove that this woman really gave birth to fraternal twins!”

Fatty He was anxious. How could this ugly woman be so skilled at turning black into white? Did she not even blink while lying?

“Miss Chu, I believe General Chu must miss you dearly right now, as you have been missing for nearly six years. Why don't you return to the Imperial Capital with this Prince?” Yuwen Jing changed his mind at this moment. Originally, he had intended to let Chu Yunluo stay in Fengqing Town, but now he wanted to take her back.

Her twins, her relationship with the Nanzhao royal family—all of these needed to be clarified.

“Return?”

Chu Yunluo asked back. Then, without needing Yuwen Jing to give her a definitive answer, she shook her head firmly: “There is no need to trouble you. When I miss home, I will naturally return on my own.”

You must be joking. She was going to scavenge every single Dragon Flame Grass in the entire Yutian Kingdom; where would she find the time to go recognize her father?

There were some memories she had not received, but she vividly remembered the series of changes that occurred after that ugly birthmark appeared on Chu Yunluo's face when she was three years old, and the subsequent testing of her constitution—the way she fell from the clouds into the deepest depths of the mud. Since this father treated her as if she were invisible, she naturally had no need to go and acknowledge him.

“Although Fengqing Town is just a small town, due to its geographical location, all sorts of people pass through. This Prince still feels it would be more appropriate for you to return to the Imperial Capital with me,” Yuwen Jing insisted on his opinion.

“If I go with you, are you going to treat my boyfriend as if he's invisible?” Chu Yunluo reached out and pulled Ning Honglie close, intimately hooking her lips against his. “You see, although I am just a weak woman, my boyfriend is very powerful. You might not even be able to beat him. With him here, what could possibly happen to me?”

Ning Honglie allowed her to hold him like that. Hearing her words, he felt a sudden sense of pride: “Prince Xuan, I shall naturally take good care of my woman. There is no need for you to trouble yourself so much.”
