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

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that Miss Nan Yuan is a liar. She speaks nicely but forgets about you the moment she turns her head..."

"Whoosh-"

Nan Jiamu's hand trembled and the arrow hit the target.

Nan Yuan was already thin-skinned, and her face became even hotter when she heard that. She was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

However, Nan Jiamu on the side had an indifferent expression, as if the arrow just now was from someone else.

"This is a good thing. Just take it if it's given to you." Nan Jiamu put the crossbow back into the box, turned to look at the soldier, and asked, "Finish your words."

"His Royal Highness also said that if Miss Nan Yuan forgets what she promised His Royal Highness, then His Royal Highness will come to you in person."

Having said this, the soldier retreated.

Only Nan Yuan and Nan Jiamu were left on the training ground.

Nan Yuan lowered her head, avoiding looking at Nan Jiamu, and felt that the surroundings were a little hot. Her cheeks were slightly red, and her heart was also in turmoil.

Nan Jiamu stood there in silence for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, "I don't mind you liking him, but don't get too close to him, especially in the military camp. If all sorts of news gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

Nan Yuan was already so embarrassed that she didn't want to hear what he said and just nodded.

"What did you promise him?" Nan Jiamu asked again.

"Have...have breakfast." Nan Yuan lowered her head and responded in a low voice.

"You have to do what you promised to others. Go ahead. I'll give you two sticks of incense."

Nan Yuan looked up at Nan Jiamu in a daze, and saw that he was serious.

"If you can't come back in two incense sticks of time, I will go and eat with you two." Nan Jiamu added.

Nan Yuan reacted and nodded quickly, "Okay, I understand. I will definitely come back after two incense sticks."

After saying that, Nan Yuan ran towards Gu Jingheng's tent.

Nan Jiamu looked at Nan Yuan's back, his eyes were deep and dark, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

***

I don’t know if it was because of Gu Jingheng’s order, but Nan Yuan got to the main tent very smoothly and no one dared to stop her.

"Are you coming?" Gu Jingheng seemed to have expected Nan Yuan to come and had prepared food for her.

Nan Yuan looked around and found that Gu Jingheng was the only one in the tent. Thinking of what happened in the tent yesterday, she suddenly became a little nervous.

"Come here." Gu Jingheng patted the empty seat next to him, motioning Nan Yuan to sit next to him.

Nan Yuan hesitated for a few seconds, but finally sat down.

Seeing her so well-behaved and sensible, Gu Jingheng was very satisfied. He stretched out his big hand and rubbed her head, saying softly, "Why do you look so scared of me? You were not like this yesterday."

When Nan Yuan heard Gu Jingheng mention yesterday, she immediately got angry, stared at him with eyes wide open, and angrily accused him, "You are really going too far! How could you...how could you do that? My brother almost found out."

Gu Jingheng played with a strand of Nan Yuan's hair and asked, "So what if you know? Am I so ashamed to be seen by others?"

"Or, you don't want your brother to know about your relationship with me, and you're still thinking about marrying into Prince Xie's mansion, so you're so nervous?"

Although Gu Jingheng's tone was gentle, every word he said made it clear that he did not trust Nan Yuan.

No matter how good-tempered Nan Yuan was, she couldn't help but feel a little angry after listening to Gu Jingheng's suspicious words every day.

She knocked Gu Jingheng's hand away and said seriously, "I promised you that I would take care of you for the rest of your life, and I will definitely take care of you."

"Since the day I was rescued, I have been staying with you every day regardless of propriety. I do whatever you say, and even when you do something excessive, I take your injuries into consideration and do not resist."

"But what about you? You openly disrespected me in front of my brother and ignored my dignity. Today, you even sent someone to pass on a message saying a lot of shameful things. Where do you put me? Have you ever considered my situation and feelings for a moment?"

"What you did..."

Nan Yuan's voice was a little choked up. She didn't even dare to think about whether the servant had been heard by others when he passed the message, and how many people had Gu Jingheng said those words in front of.

"If these words were to get out, how would I cope with it? You only cared about your own happiness and never thought about me for a moment."

"Today, you are in a good mood and you trample on my dignity at will; tomorrow, when you are in a bad mood, you say those unspeakable words in public. Have I been born to be the object of your arbitrarily humiliation and dismissal at will?"

As Nan Yuan spoke, she couldn't help feeling aggrieved, and her eyes became moist.

When Gu Jingheng saw her crying, he couldn't help but frown.

He stretched out his slender white fingertips and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, his movements extremely delicate and doting.

Nan Yuan's heart trembled slightly and tears kept flowing out.

"No one heard it. That person was my personal guard. I only asked him to pass on the message." Gu Jingheng wiped away the tears on Nan Yuan's face with his fingertips and coaxed her in a low voice: "No one in the military camp would dare to spread any gossip about you and me."

"As for not taking you to heart, that's even more nonsense."

"If I didn't care about you, how could I be like this now? I care about you too much, so I am worried about gains and losses. If you didn't come today, I would be worried all day, afraid that you were tired of me and said something casually to comfort me, but in your heart you were still thinking about your cousin."

"You are engaged to Xie Luochen, so how can I not worry about this? I am so afraid that one day you will marry him and abandon me. That's why I keep asking you, just to get peace of mind. I want to be closer to you, because you are the one in my heart. If I can remain calm in front of you, then there is something wrong."

Gu Jingheng placed Nan Yuan's hand on his chest and said, "As long as your engagement with Xie Luochen lasts for a while, I will not feel at ease. Can't you forgive me?"

After hearing what Gu Jingheng said, Nan Yuan's original thoughts began to waver.

She looked up at the man in front of her, with crystal clear tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, looking particularly lovable.

Gu Jingheng couldn't help but kiss away the tears on her cheeks and said, "Can you cancel the engagement with him?"

"I have already prepared some gifts in my mansion. One is for your dowry, and the other is for your betrothal gift. I am just waiting for your approval."

"A Yuan, please feel sorry for me, okay?"
