Chapter 223: You Are My DearestJing Rong couldn’t help but sot up and walked to Ji Yunshu but sat down next to a table at the last minute He focused his attention at the two teacups on it, taking one and pushing the other toward Ji Yunshu Then, he lightly tapped on the table, indicating that she should sit down too
Ji Yunshu shook her head “There’s no need”
“If you don’t sit do can we have a good talk? Or do you want ain?”
“Of course not”
“Then, sit down I don’t like looking up at people when talking” His arrogance was plain to the sight
‘Oi, oi, oi! What an inflated ego!’ Ji Yunshu was reluctant to move from her spot, but in the end she still walked to the chair and quietly sat down However, she continued towas planning to have a serious talk with her He turned around his teacup before he started talking “Kong Yu and I share some similarities”
Ji Yunshu stayed silent
“Since she was a child, what she has been the most afraid of is to be a burden to others She knows that I will stop at nothing to cancel herto ”
Ji Yunshu kept quiet and continued to listen to his explanations
Jing Rong paused for a , “She knows uessed the idea caestion I made to marry her?”
“Yes If I did ask my imperial father for her hand, he would surely have exploded in anger The consequences of provoking ht Even if such actions would help Kong Yu get away froe, I wouldn’t be able to escape from punishment You kno my imperial father is very suspicious of people” Paranoia was a co emperors

“So this is the real reason you refuse to take her as a wife?” Ji Yunshu asked in shock
“Yes I didn’t want to give my imperial father a reason to criticize me and implicate you too” His reasons were very clear
Her heart quivered frouilty to propose such a bad plan
“Now, do you still think I’ inquired
“You know that you don’t need to give thought to me”
“I can’t do that”
