After the prince was reborn, he forced me to marry him and took me into the East Palace

"You didn't mention at all how irritating your words are." Gu Jingheng stretched out his hand and stroked the top of Nan Yuan's head, his tone was doting: "A few days ago you talked about skinning me alive, and today you want me to get out again. Do you really think I have no heart and don't know the pain?"

"Aren't I sick? Can't you just accommodate me a little?" Nan Yuan raised her head and snuggled into Gu Jingheng's arms like a spoiled child.

The anger in Gu Jingheng's heart dissipated instantly. As long as Nan Yuan still had him in her heart, everything would be fine.

Gu Jingheng laughed, lowered his head and pinched her nose, and his mood became clearer: "You can be unreasonable when you are sick, you can be angry with me, you can ask me to coax you, you can do anything, but there is only one thing, you are not allowed to mention leaving me again, remember?"

Nan Yuan nodded, very well behaved.

"Apart from your illness, why are you so angry?" Gu Jingheng sat on the couch, holding Nan Yuan in his arms, staring into her eyes and asked.

He didn't like any misunderstandings between the two of them. Too many misunderstandings would hurt their feelings.

He would rather Nan Yuan tell him all her concerns and he would help her solve them. Wouldn’t that be good?

Nan Yuan rubbed Gu Jingheng's shoulder, her drooping eyelashes covering the thoughts in her eyes. She bit her lip and said, "I am not confident and I am afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Gu Jingheng asked.

"The gap between our status is too big. You are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you can decide life and death with just one sentence."

"You like me now, and when you are happy, I can still show my temper, but once you are unhappy, I have to coax you, otherwise you will kill me."

"This is when you like me, but what if you get tired of me one day in the future? How should I deal with it?"

"Every day I'm with you, I have to think about what I should do to make you happy, whether I can do this thing, whether I can say that thing, and whether you will be angry after I say it, and whether you will kill me in anger."

Nan Yuan's voice was filled with tears as she spoke: "But your thoughts are really hard to guess. I don't even know what you are thinking, let alone doing things according to your thoughts."

"I dare not say anything, dare not do anything, but even so, you can still yell at me if you are not satisfied."

"You yelled at me today, but will they drag me out and chop me up tomorrow?"

"I'm scared, terribly scared."

"It's true that I like you, but it's also true that I'm afraid of you."

What Nan Yuan said was half truth and half false, but it was these half truths that were easiest to believe.

"You can be casual in front of me, but I can't. I don't know when you are happy or angry. Will what I said and did cause you to dislike me?"

"I worry every day and can't sleep at night. When I fall asleep, I have nightmares. I'm afraid... I'm afraid that I will die one day."

Having said this, Nan Yuan couldn't stop the tears from her eyes from flowing out, and drops of them fell on the front of Gu Jingheng's clothes.

Gu Jingheng frowned. He knew that Nan Yuan was sensitive, but he didn't know that she thought so much and worried so much.

"You said you wouldn't let me leave you, and I don't want to leave you either. I really like you, but I'm also really scared."

"I am a timid person. When something happens, I want to avoid it. You are like arsenic wrapped in honey. It is too dangerous. That's why I want to leave."

"I can live without sugar for the rest of my life, but I want to live."

Nan Yuan spoke half-truthfully, and she herself probably didn't even know how much affection was contained in this.

"Tell me, am I wrong in thinking this way?" Nan Yuan stared at Gu Jingheng with her beautiful tearful eyes.

Gu Jingheng's heart softened, and he wiped away the tears on Nan Yuan's face bit by bit, but the more he wiped, the more there were, as if he could never wipe them away.

"Have."

He is not arsenic wrapped in honey, he should be Nan Yuan's favorite person.

No matter how many secrets Nan Yuan had, no matter what she was afraid of, she should not leave him, let alone change her heart.

Change of heart...

Yes, she changed her heart in her previous life.

When he thought that Nan Yuan had changed her heart in her previous life and was thinking about leaving him in this life, Gu Jingheng's heart hardened again.

"Nan Yuan, you promised me that you would never leave me and would take care of me forever. No matter what happens, you must remember this. This is what you promised me."

"If you regret it one day, you must be prepared for my revenge. I believe you don't want to know what the punishment will be."

Gu Jingheng wiped away the tears on Nan Yuan's face bit by bit, "I know your concerns, and I will find a way to reassure you, but I don't want to hear you say leave again from now on."

Nan Yuan had known that Gu Jingheng would give this answer, so she didn't care too much.

After all, these words are nothing compared to what I heard before.

But she still had to pretend in front of Gu Jingheng. After all, she had already set up the stage, and she had to go on with the play.

Nan Yuan wiped the tears from her face and said nothing more. She just nodded and said, "I understand, Your Highness."

"Look, why are you angry again?" Gu Jingheng pinched Nan Yuan's chin, puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you that I know your concerns and will find a way to solve them? Why are you still not satisfied?"

"What do you want me to do? Huh?"

Nan Yuan clasped her hands and said sullenly, "I've already told you that I'm afraid of death, but you still keep scaring me."

"Why are you so timid?" Gu Jingheng pressed the back of Nan Yuan's head, forcing her to face him: "As long as you don't have those thoughts, what I said is just empty talk. What do you have to be afraid of?"

"As for taking your life, that's even more impossible. I love you so much that I can't wait to take your life."

He would not take Nan Yuan's life, not in the past, not now, and not in the future.

"Yeah, okay." Nan Yuan nodded, not very interested.

She stood up from Gu Jingheng's knees and walked out.

"A Yuan."

Gu Jingheng stood up and hugged Nan Yuan from behind.

Even though he was extremely smart, he was a little confused now. Wasn't what he said clear enough? Wasn't it enough to give her confidence?

Why is Nan Yuan still unhappy?

She said that his thoughts were hard to guess. In his opinion, Nan Yuan's thoughts were a hundred times harder to guess than his.

But he just couldn't stand Nan Yuan's look as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"A Yuan, what's wrong? Why are you still unhappy?"

Gu Jingheng twisted Nanyuan's shoulders, made her face him, and asked softly, "Okay, Nanyuan, don't be angry with me, okay? Just tell me what you want. As long as you don't leave me, I will give you whatever you want, okay?"
