Reborn Daughter: The Young Lady Wants to Make a Trouble

In Eunuch Guo's study, Yu Zhen took a leisurely sip of tea, the taste was interesting, and he raised his eyebrows.

"Do you know that it is impolite to visit without permission? I have work to do in less than an hour." Lord Li Chenyang spoke in a gentle tone, as if he was talking about the weather, and did not deliberately insult Yu Zhen.

"Uh, I didn't mean to see you," Yu Zhen pointed out, putting down his teacup.

King Li Chenyang laughed. "Are you always so rude?"

Yu Zhen paused, as if to ask: "Did you really say that just now?"

He chose not to respond.

"Well, if you must insist," the Duke sighed, "you can see her after this discussion, but I must ask you something first."

He picked up the teacup and asked through the rim, "What are your plans for Xueyue?"

Yu Zhen knew this question would be asked sooner or later. "What do you think it is?"

“Don’t ask me back.” King Li Chenyang snorted coldly, took a sip of tea and put it back on the table.

"My intentions towards her were pure and good. I only wanted the best for her. That's all."

"What would happen if you weren't the best for her?"

"Then I will change and become her most ideal lover."

"Do you think she will change for you?" King Li Chenyang asked, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. Young love is always so lively.

"I don't understand why she wouldn't."

King Li Chenyang leaned back in his chair and snorted. "Yu Zhen, have you ever thought that the two of you are not ready for each other?"

Yu Zhen's body stiffened. What was this old man talking about?

"Her life goal can only be achieved in Wuyi. You have a crown to fight for in Hanjian. Do you see the problem here?"

Yu Zhen’s jaw clenched. He did. He hated that it was so obvious. At this moment, they were incompatible with each other. He shamelessly pretended that it didn’t exist, but he knew deep down that now was not the time.

"Your father will summon you back to Han sooner or later, but she cannot go back with you."

"You want me to abandon her."

"Right now, yes. You are a distraction in her life, just as she is a distraction in yours. Both of your paths are heading in different directions. In the future, your paths will cross each other, but now is not the time."

"Does Xueyue want this?" Yu Zhen's blood boiled and he asked harshly. The truth was hard to hear and even harder to accept.

"I do know that you have had this thought at least once." King Li Chenyang said lightly. "Of course, I have no objection to you two being together, but you are both young and reckless. Although you think you are calm, I know you are the kind of fool who abandons everything for love."

Yu Zhen narrowed his eyes. How much did Prince Li Chenyang know about him?

"Believe me, I was once in your situation. When I was young, I was ready to give up everything and kidnap my beloved Princess Wuyi. I am willing to give up all my reputation and wealth if I can marry my current wife."

King Li Chenyang couldn't help but smile as he thought of himself when he was younger. He wanted to marry the Duchess, but was opposed by everyone. He ended up in a mess he didn't expect, with another princess wanting to risk everything to have him, even though he didn't want her.

"You know how stupid I sound? But at that time, nothing mattered to me as long as I had the girl of my dreams."

Yu Zhen's chin trembled. He reluctantly agreed with the Duke's opinion.

"In the end, everything worked out. It took time, much longer than we expected, but it worked. The same goes for you and Xueyue," King Li Chenyang assured.

"I will continue to see her."

The Duke's face was filled with disappointment, and his eyes narrowed into a thin line. "Are you so stubborn? Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I heard every word clearly." Yu Zhen replied calmly. "I will continue to hover over Xueyue like a fly -"

“You will never get my approval this way—” King Li Chenyang frowned.

"——During the time I was in Wuyi." Yu Zhen said, with a warning flash in his eyes.

King Li Chenyang could not imagine that a young man like Yu Zhen could have such a strong and resolute aura. This crazy commander was determined to take Xueyue for himself.

"And when I leave Wuyi, I will give her time."

King Li Chenyang raised his eyebrows, not expecting this result.

Yu Zhen stood up and decided to end the conversation. "Whether it's one year or ten years, I will wait for her."

Lord Li Chenyang nodded in agreement. "I would expect the same from a level-headed commander—"

"In return." Yu Zhen's eyes darkened, and an evil smile appeared on his face. "I look forward to your protection."

King Li Chenyang narrowed his eyes. "What are you talking about?"

"Keep the other bugs away from her."

King Li Chenyang was rarely surprised by anything, but today, he got the shock of his life. He had thought that the time they had been apart would strain the relationship, and that perhaps Xueyue would decide to move to another country, which would be too much. Yu Zhen would also realize that it was foolish to wait so long for a girl when he had so many girls on hand.

"How do I know you'll welcome her back into your life when the wait is over? Who's to say you won't change your mind once I've removed all potential suitors from her life?"

Yu Zhen frowned. "I only have one heart, and I have given it to her."

King Li Chenyang was stunned by the commander's words.

"Have a nice day, Prime Minister." After saying that, Yu Zhen walked out the door without looking back.

King Li Chenyang stared at the gate in disbelief, blinking a few times to make sure he had heard correctly. Did that stupid commander just confess his love for Xueyue without realizing it?

"We are really fools in love." Li Chenyang laughed at himself. He couldn't tell whether he felt funny or confused.
