The next day, just as the sky turned pale, Cen Nan woke up leisurely.

Habitually staring at the top of the bed for a while, then the soul seemed to return to the body, remembering who he is and where he is at the moment.

As usual, he was about to get up, but he glanced to the side inadvertently, and he was too frightened to move immediately.

Blinking her eyes in a daze, she remembered that she didn't sleep alone last night.

However, looking down at her current situation, her face flushed with disappointment. This is... She was hugged and slept all night in someone's arms!

Thinking of this, his heart beat out of rhythm for no reason. Cen Nan felt that it was because he was thin-skinned and felt embarrassed.

After all, she was already in her twenties, and she was hugged and slept all night like a child.

As if he was afraid that the people around him would notice his flustered heartbeat, Cen Nan didn't dare to make too much movement, but carefully raised his head slightly, and what caught his eyes was Xia Lan's soft face lines, and his gentle, A peaceful look.

Feeling Xia Lan's even and soft breath gently puffing on his forehead, he must have not had much rest in the past two days.

In order not to wake Xia Lan himself, Cen Nan got out of bed quietly, walked out of the room lightly, turned around and was about to close the door gently, but saw Leng Zongmu next door who also just stepped out of the room.

Cen Nan didn't say anything, after carefully closing the door, he gave Leng Zongmu a faint look, then turned and left.

Leng Zongmu first glanced at the closed door next door, and then raised his heels to follow it.

After walking to the back garden of the palace, Cen Nanfang stopped and looked back at Leng Zongmu.

"Did you say nothing about these two days?"

The little man in front of him, with his left hand behind his back, stared at him with his head slightly tilted up. There was anger on his immature face, and under his tightly locked brows, a pair of bright black eyes contained dissatisfaction and questioning.

"Lan'er, is she okay?", but Leng Zongmu asked inappropriately.

"Is she okay, don't you know?" Cen Nan asked coldly.

This was the first time Leng Zongmu had seen Cen Nan who was covered in thorns like this. Even though he knew that the person in front of him was different from the children next to him, he was still surprised by his words and deeds from time to time.

Leng Zongmu was speechless for a while when asked, and was silent for a long time, "You are still young, so you won't understand some things."

"I'm young, not stupid," Cen Nan said almost word by word, "Sister Lan was attacked the night before, and you entered the brothel at night, you must have been plotted by someone."

"you"

"Don't look at me like that, nobody told me that"

Leng Zongmu looked at the little man in front of him, and seemed to be in a trance for a moment, everything was exactly as Cen Nanfang said.

The night before, Leng Zongmu was about to go back to the mansion by himself, but when he got out of the middle tent, he saw a black shadow flash past, and without thinking too much, he raised his spirit and chased after him, and he chased him all the way from the outside of the city to the inside of the city.

After entering the city, I don't know if the man in black noticed it. After leading Leng Zongmu around, he sneaked into Han Tang's mansion, and then went around to Ning Kai's mansion to buy a cup of cat. tea time.

After leaving the Ning Mansion, Leng Zongmu wanted to go forward to arrest him, but found that he had turned into the street leading to the Wang Mansion again, so he wanted to see what he wanted to do.

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the journey, he suddenly swerved into the side road. When Leng Zongmu caught up again, he found that he had entered the place of fireworks at some point.

He turned around and was about to leave, but Ning Kai's voice came from the open window on the third floor, "Since the prince is here, why bother to leave?"

At that time, Leng Zongmu didn't think too much about it, until he heard that Xia Lan was attacked on the street, he felt that something was wrong, and the rumors that spread around the next day made him realize that he was set up by someone.

Seeing Leng Zongmu silent for a long time, Cen Nan just looked sideways into the distance, pretending to be deep and angry, but he still held back and didn't attack.

"The two groups of people who assassinated Sister Lan, you must have found out something about it."

Leng Zongmu turned his head, looked at Cen Nan's determined expression, his mind was full of thoughts, but in the end he just sighed lightly.

"It's not as simple as you think"

"You don't know what I think, how can you conclude that my thinking is too simple", Cen Nan retorted unceremoniously, "It's nothing more than that, after searching for a long time, I found nothing."

Leng Zongmu couldn't help opening his eyes slightly, and looked at Cen Nan with an expression of disbelief.

Cen Nan pretended not to see it, but stared at him closely, "Although there is no evidence, you must have the answer in your heart."

Once again guessed by the center, Leng Zongmu no longer knew what expression to make. With such a mind, let alone an ordinary adult, even if he faced Lan'er, he would not lose.

Leng Zongmu's reticence confirmed what Cen Nan had expected, and his complexion immediately turned ugly again.

"What? Are you going to let these things just pass?!"

"There is no evidence, how can it be?"

Cen Nan narrowed his eyes suddenly, "Then is there evidence for the evil words she ordered people to spread?! Or, do you really think that in your heart?!".

Hearing this, Leng Zongmu's complexion suddenly became ugly.

Cen Nan didn't care, and continued, "Since that's the case, why can't we use his own way to treat his own body?"

Leng Zongmu frowned, "If that's the case, then what's the difference between me and them!".

"Don't you want to talk about the way of a gentleman with a villain?!" Cen Nan was so angry that the veins on his forehead almost stood out, "If you can't even protect the one you love, what kind of way are you talking about with me here! ".

In the early winter morning, the breeze has brought a bit of biting chill.

Under the winding corridor, Leng Zongmu, dressed in a silver-gray robe, had dark eyes and deep-set eyebrows, while Cen Nan, who was dressed in a white gown, had thin lips tightly pursed into a line, and a sharp look was faintly visible between his brows and eyes.

In the silent confrontation between the two, in the end it was Leng Zongmu who was defeated first, and Cen Nan gradually calmed down, and his expression was no longer so aggressive.

"I've always wanted to ask you a question"

"you say"

"Son, is it really that important to you?" After finishing speaking, his eyes locked tightly on Leng Zongmu's face, for fear of missing even the slightest change in it.

Last night, Cen Nan thought about it all night. Since Xia Lan would not argue with Leng Zongmu over brothels and rumors, there is only one reason left, the child...

"No...", the word no just came to his lips, but was swallowed back by Leng Zongmu, isn't it important?important...

Cen Nan clenched her hands unconsciously. Obviously, this answer made her very dissatisfied.

"Just to continue the incense of your Leng family?! Or to inherit the Pingnan throne?!"

No matter which one it was, Cen Nan couldn't accept it, but Xia Lan had been suffering physically and mentally for the past few years just because of these meaningless things.

Fortunately, Leng Zongmu denied it.

"I never cared about that"

Seeing Leng Zongmu's indifferent and open-minded expression, Cen Nan couldn't help but fell into a brief moment of contemplation, and after a while, his black eyes lit up.

"So, you just need a child, it doesn't really matter whether you are born or not"

Hearing this, Leng Zongmu was slightly taken aback, and then actually smiled.He didn't expect that Cen Nan could understand the key point.

Although Cen Nan still can't figure out what the reason behind it is, since it has nothing to do with titles and incense, and Leng Zongmu cares so much, it must have something to do with Xia Lan.

Cen Nan raised his eyebrows and said calmly, "Then I can."

As soon as these words came out, Cen Nan clearly saw Leng Zongmu's eyes brighten up, and he was about to open his mouth.

"I don't agree," the voice was soft, but it was non-negotiable.

Cen Nan raised his head subconsciously, and saw Xia Lan standing at the corner of the long corridor in front of him at some point.

Looking at the person approaching with lotus steps, before Cen Nan could ask why, Leng Zongmu had already opened his mouth.

"Lan'er, it's not over yet"

"Third brother don't need to say too much, Lan'er has made up his mind." Before Leng Zongmu could finish speaking, Xia Lan interrupted him lightly.

Cen Nan looked at Leng Zongmu as if he was not reconciled, he opened his mouth but was speechless in the end, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Xia Lan became extremely complicated.

"Lan'er, you would rather let me marry another woman than Nan'er"

"Third brother", Xia Lan raised her eyelids slightly, her eyes that were always gentle like water looked hard as a stone at this moment, "We have already said something beforehand, we must not involve Nan'er."

Leng Zongmu still seemed unwilling, "We can let Nan'er choose by herself, if she doesn't want to, I won't force her."

Xia Lan shook her head without hesitation, looking at Leng Zongmu in front of her, a pair of beautiful eyes unconsciously carried a hint of coolness.

Feeling overwhelmed, Leng Zongmu stared at Xia Lan for a while, "I won't be eating in the mansion today", before he finished speaking, he turned around and left without looking back.

And Xia Lan just stood there, watching Leng Zongmu's figure gradually disappearing at the end of the corridor, with a calm expression and... hard to understand eyes.

In the end, she lowered her head slightly, and stretched out that slender hand to Cen Nan.

"Let's go, Nan'er, let's eat Chaofan"
