Chapter 1063: 1063

Shen Yunya again. She really wasn’t going to quit, was she? If that was the case, then there was no need to wait for her to give birth to the baby in her belly.

He Lianhuang picked up his teacup and took a sip before saying, “I do not want to shirk my responsibility. The purpose of my visit this time is to first propose marriage. The second thing I want to do is to see Shen Yunya.”

If Shen Yunya had not told him, he would never have known that Zhaoyang was pregnant, and she had no intentions of ever telling him.

“You can forget about the marriage proposal. Lin’er won’t marry you,” Xi Jin said as he got up. “I’ll take you to see Shen Yunya now.”

If Lin’er did not want to get married, then she did not have to. Even if she had given birth and grew old alone, he would support her.

He Lianhuang stood up and moved his sore muscles and bones. He followed behind Xi Jin and asked, “Do you regret not trusting my word and driving me back to Xi Yuan Nation at that time?”

Xi Jin’s eyes were stony-looking and did not answer his question. Regret, how could he not regret it?

If he had known earlier, how could he have been deceived for three years and treat Shen Yunya this well for three years? He really let Dai’er down. He was not qualified to love her at all.

It did not matter now. He would make it up to her. He would carefully stand guard by her side.

He Lianhuang did not say much, because he also regretted not suspecting Shen Yunya earlier.

Xi Jin looked at the remorse on his face and suddenly asked, “He Lianhuang, you’re not in love with Lin’er, are you?”

“Whatever the reason might be for that night, I want to take responsibility as a man. These are principles not only taught by my mother, but also by you,” He Lianhuang said as he looked at Xi Jin, thinking through what he had done for the last three or so years. “Xi Yan, you did not lead by example.”

Xi Jin knew he wanted to change the subject and frowned, “You like Da’er, don’t you?”

He Lianhuang’s body went rigid, wanting to deny, but had no way of doing so. He did like Dai’er.

Looking at his reaction, Xi Jin scoffed, “All the more reason I cannot agree to let you marry Lin’er. You’ll be better off hiding your feelings for Dai’er. I do not want Lin’er to fall out with Dai’er because of you.”

“I know,” He Lianhuang answered softly.

Dai’er still stood between them even after all this time…

The two men did not speak again and reached Nanyuan soon after. Rui’er saw Xi Jin from afar and quickly put down the clothes he held in her hands. She ran into the room and said, “Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here. The Crown Prince came to see you.”

“Big Brother Jin?” Shen Yunya’s eyes lit up suddenly. She got up and hurriedly tidied herself and reach out to touch her hair. She asked, “Does my face look pale? Do I look nice in these clothes? Quick, take out my hair ornaments, no, leave them, that’s it, Big Brother Jin…”

Shen Yunya had not yet finished speaking when Xi Jin came in. Rui’er quickly greeted him, “I hereby pay my respects to Crown Prince.”

“Big Brother…” Shen Yunya wanted to cry out Big Brother Jin, but when she saw his cold hostile glare as if she was an enemy, she corrected herself and addressed him, “Crown Prince.”

“What, have you stuck here for so long that you forgot how to greet others?” Xi Jin said coldly. He gave her a perfunctory glance and then turned his eyes away. For him, it was disgusting to give her another glance.

Shen Yunya gazed at Xi Jin like a man with a crazed obsession. She supported her waist as she greeted, “I hereby pay my respects to Crown Prince.”

He Lianhuang glanced at Shen Yunya wearing a dress of white, dark yellow from all the washing and patched up in many places. The bulging belly of hers revealed that she should be quite a few months along. He could not help but give out a mocking laugh. He looked up and asked Xi Jin, “She treated Dai’er in that way and you still let her live and even let her have the child?”
