You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 156 The Last Time as Crown Prince

Hearing this, Xiao Yan paused and turned to look at her.

They looked into each other's eyes, but no one could see the other clearly.

Retracting his gaze, Xiao Yan stepped out of the room, closed the door, and said to Feng Xin beside him:

"Let's go."

Today, we are destined to fight a tough battle.

Xiao Chen was not a loser, so giving him one night was enough.

The two men left the Bamboo Garden, got on a carriage, and when they arrived at the downtown area, they changed to the prince's carriage.

The sharp-eyed Feng Xin spotted a familiar figure in the busy morning market.

"Your Highness? Isn't that Miss Lin?"

Feng Xin said doubtfully.

Xiao Yan followed his gaze and saw Lin Wan and her maid buying things in front of a breakfast shop, and behind her, followed Master Pei.

Pei Jing, the son of Marquis Zhong, is the most eccentric and willful, and is well-known in the capital.

But at this moment, he just followed behind Lin Wan obediently, looking at her eagerly, wanting to say something but not daring to.

He looked aggrieved and guilty, as if he had done something wrong to Lin Wan.

Lin Wan's gaze was fixed on a certain corner, and he was a little dazed.

It was like seeing something incredible.

Xiao Yan followed Lin Wan's line of sight, but saw nothing.

Retracting his gaze, Xiao Yan got on the carriage and said:

"Go to the palace."

After the prince's carriage left, Lin Wan handed the breakfast in his hand to Xunmei and chased in the direction she had just looked.

She seemed to have seen her elder brother Lin Kaiji just now.

That figure looked exactly like... No, it was clearly the eldest brother, she couldn't be wrong.

Seeing Lin Wan suddenly running, Pei Jing was slightly stunned and quickly followed.

Lin Wan arrived at the alley. On the busy street, she looked around but saw nothing.

But it was clear that she had really seen it just now.

The eldest brother should be at the border now, how could he appear in the capital?

Could it be that something unexpected happened at the border?

But if something happened at the border, my father should have received the news.

First I saw Zhao Zhao at Huguo Temple, and now he is my eldest brother...

Lin Wan felt as if he was trapped in a fog and couldn't see anything clearly.

It seemed like something big was about to happen around her, but she didn't know it.

Coupled with his relationship problems, Lin Wan felt depressed.

Pei Jing ran to her and asked worriedly:

"Wanwan, what's wrong?"

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and didn't want to talk to him. He was just like his brother, a pervert.

There is no good person in the Pei family.

Xunmei followed with a bun wrapped in oil paper in her hand and asked worriedly:

"What's wrong, miss?"

Lin Wan shook his head and looked around again, but still saw nothing.

If Big Brother was really here just now, considering the distance she had come from here, Big Brother would not have disappeared.

Unless the eldest brother is hiding.

Just as Lin Wan thought, in a teahouse not far from the alley, Lin Kaiji entered a private room and looked over from afar through the beaded curtain.

He didn't expect that when he came to follow Xiao Yan, he would run into his sister.

Lin Wan is a typical lady from a wealthy family, who is very polite and abides by the rules.

Now he ignores the delicious food in the Duke's Mansion and secretly comes out to buy these random things. It's obvious that he was led astray by Zhao Zhao.

Lin Wan didn't see anyone, so he didn't force it.

If the eldest brother really hid himself, then he must have something going on and it is not convenient to recognize him now.

It would be better for her not to cause trouble for her eldest brother, but when she returns, she will ask her father about the situation on the border.

Lin Wan retracted his gaze and said to Xunmei:

"Let's go back home!"

Seeing that Lin Wan had been ignoring him, Pei Jing said with some grievance:

"Late night..."

If he had been like this in the past, Lin Wan would have softened her heart and coaxed him, but now, she wanted to slap him twice.

Beating him was not enough to satisfy her, she also wanted to open his brain to see what was inside.

He actually gave his fiancée...

Lin Wan didn't even glance at him, and walked towards the Duke's Mansion with Xunmei.

Pei Jing suddenly became anxious, stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve, and said pitifully:

"Wanwan, don't ignore me. I'm scared."

"You promised me. You said that no matter what happens, you will stay by my side and love me."

Yes, she had promised him.

But when she agreed to him, she never thought that he would push her to another man.

The more Lin Wan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his steps became faster.

She must find a way to cancel the marriage with Pei Fu.

Now with Pei Yanli's threat, she can't retreat, but she will try her best to delay the wedding first.

When Pei Jing saw her leaving, he followed her.

He has been like this during this period of time, guarding the door of the Duke's Mansion every day, from morning to noon, from noon to night, and from dawn to dusk.

In the past, when Zhao Zhao was at home, he would take Lin Wan out to find food from time to time, which made Lin Wan feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat outside for a while, and he would always miss it in his heart.

She endured it until this morning and sneaked out, but she didn't expect to run into Pei Jing who had been waiting there.

After that, he was like sticky candy, and she couldn't get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.

He didn't feel tired, but Lin Wan felt annoyed.

Arriving at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Lin Wan sighed, asked Xun Mei to go back first, and said to Pei Jing as if admitting defeat:

"Okay, Pei Jing, you win! Tell me yourself, what does it mean that you have been following me and guarding me all the time?"

Pei Jing has always been eloquent, but now he stutters every word he says:

"Wanwan, I just want to see you."

Ever since she came to Pei Mansion that day, she had no idea what her eldest brother had said to her, but she had refused to see him. No, to be exact, she had refused to see them.

But just as the eldest brother said, Wanwan did not cancel the engagement.

When Lin Wan heard his words, she just wanted to laugh:

"Pei Jing, don't pretend to be so pitiful. You are the ones who are sorry for me, not me for you."

In this matter, they were sorry for her, Pei Jing admitted his mistake:

"I'm sorry, it's my fault, it's my fault... Wanwan, can you hit me and scold me? But don't ignore me, please, otherwise I will go crazy."

"Are you crazy? Pei Jing, you guys are driving me crazy."

What right does he have to suffer?

Looking at Lin Wan's red eyes, Pei Jing pulled her into his arms distressedly and said sorry over and over again.

Lin Wan buried her head in his chest and suddenly said:

"Whose idea was it?"

Pei Jing's body froze. He didn't answer her question, but just hugged Lin Wan tighter.

Lin Wan's mind moved slightly, he raised his head, and looked at him with hurt eyes:

"But Pei Jing, I only love you and I don't want to share my love with others, do you understand?"

Pei Jing looked down at her, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes...

……

In the palace.

As soon as Xiao Yan got off the carriage, he saw Xiao Chen.

Apparently he was waiting for him on purpose.

"Prince, you really kept me waiting!"

Xiao Yan looked at him and said calmly:

"Is there something wrong, my brother?"

Seeing that he was still pretending to be calm, Xiao Chen lowered his voice and said:

"It's nothing, actually. I just want the prince to enjoy his last days as the prince."
