Chapter 20

“Ninth Prince, is there something wrong with your brain?” Su Qian’s expression was a little surprised.

There was nothing about her that she wasn’t worthy of Xiao Yan, but on this continent, which man could accept a woman who had lost her virginity before marriage? Moreover, she still had two children. Now that they were six years old, they could even do grocery shopping. Did Xiao Yan have nothing better to do? How could he still want to marry her?

“I never joke,” Xiao Yan said with an undoubted tone.

“No,” Su Qian shook her head and refused, “this matter concerns my principles, so I can’t agree to it. You can raise other conditions.”

Xiao Yan furrowed his brows and stared at Su Qian. He pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.

What did she mean by this matter was related to her principles? Was Su Qian’s principle to never marry him?

Xiao Yan didn’t say anything, but the aura around him instantly turned cold and heavy. He was obviously displeased.

Su Qian could feel Xiao Yan’s unhappiness, and her phoenix eyes were filled with coldness as she fearlessly looked at him.

Their eyes met, and an invisible spark was created.

In the end, it was Xiao Yan who broke the silence. “No, I must marry you.”

“Why?” Su Qian felt that this man was ridiculous. She couldn’t understand why he was suddenly so persistent about her.

“You asked why? On the day of your wedding six years ago, you abandoned me and flew away. You left so carefreely, leaving me here to help you clean up your mess.” When Xiao Yan said this, his tone was faint.

He seemed to be complaining, but his dark eyes were jumping with a little light, like a fox that had become a spirit.

Hearing this, Su Qian awkwardly retracted her gaze from Xiao Yan.

Speaking of which, there was such a thing. Back then, she just patted her butt and ran away. Presumably, Xiao Yan’s days were not good either. He must have become the laughingstock of the world and had been ridiculed for six years.

Especially when she was pregnant that year…

Now that she looked at Xiao Yan again, Su Qian felt that he was cuckolded, making her feel a little guilty.

“No one can change my decision. You were my princess six years ago, so it is only natural for me to marry you.” Xiao Yan said with certainty.

Su Qian’s head began to throb. She blinked her eyes and could only try to persuade him differently. “Your Highness, although the engagement is still in place, I’m already a mother. If I were to marry into the Ninth Prince’s Residence with two children, I’m afraid it would affect your reputation.”

Every word Su Qian said was sincere and it seemed like she was thinking for Xiao Yan, but in reality, she was trying to absolve herself.

How could Xiao Yan not see through Su Qian’s thoughts? He stared at Su Qian as if nothing she said or did could escape his eyes. He said, word for word, “Su Qian, it’s been six years. Aren’t you curious about who the father of those two children is?”

Xiao Yan’s simple question caused the smile on Su Qian’s face to disappear completely.

She looked into Xiao Yan’s deep eyes and saw the smile on his face. Suddenly, she thought of someone.

Xiao Yan’s eyes looked very much like Ye’er’s.

No, it should be said that Ye’er’s eyes were extremely similar to this man in front of her!

No wonder she felt that Xiao Yan looked familiar.

In that split second, a bold idea flashed through Su Qian’s mind. She stood up abruptly and said without even looking at Xiao Yan, “I’m not curious, and I don’t want to know. My children don’t need a father, and I’m enough for them. As for that man, I’ll just treat him as dead.”
