"You want me to seduce the Crown Prince? Why are you crying now that I've entered the pala

Chapter 196 I'm sorry, but I won't let you go.

"It's me, I'm back."

Chu Jiang suppressed the bitterness in his heart and gazed tenderly at the girl in front of him.

Qin Su did not speak, her bright, tearful eyes looking at him hesitantly, as if assessing the truthfulness of his words.

Chu Jiang saw all this and was about to say something when the girl suddenly rushed up and hugged him tightly, crying as she asked, "Where did you go? Why did you only come back now? Do you know how scared I was? Waaah! He bullied me, he kept bullying me, and he even said that if I didn't go with him, he would ransack my house! Waaah! I thought I would never see you again..."

The girl's sobs struck his heart like a hammer blow, causing Chu Jiang both heartache and sorrow. He was so angry he wanted to kill that bastard to avenge her, but he was also afraid that his outburst would frighten her, so he could only suppress his anger and apologize to her.

"I was wrong, it's all my fault, I won't do it again."

An overly gentle and patient attitude would likely terrify someone who knows them.

"He still wants to..."

Qin Su, who originally wanted to continue to embellish and lament the prince's misdeeds, suddenly heard the alarm blaring in her ears. She lifted her tearful eyes slightly from the man's embrace and realized that her already precarious emotional state had now soared to an unbearable level.

If she keeps crying, I'm afraid she might suddenly have a seizure on the spot.

She finally managed to get him back, but she didn't dare let him get away again, so she could only suppress her unfinished complaints and instead whine and cling to him: "Waaah, it's all your fault, you're not allowed to leave me again."

Chu Jiang felt heartbroken upon hearing this, wishing he could give her his heart. He naturally agreed, saying, "No, I will never let anyone bully you again."

"Then hug me, waaaaah..."

The sounds inside the carriage gradually changed from struggling and crying to a quiet, lingering murmur, and finally disappeared completely into the sound of the wheels.

When she entered the palace, the girl, who had cried and made a scene, was exhausted and had fallen asleep, but her delicate brows were furrowed, and she did not seem to be sleeping peacefully.

When Eunuch Liu saw the "Crown Prince" carrying Miss Sangsang in from outside, a look of surprise flashed across his old face. He excitedly went up to greet him, saying, "Your Highness, you're back."

However, before they could even get close, they were driven back by the man's cold gaze.

Seeing that cold and unapproachable appearance, Eunuch Liu's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he was not quite sure who had returned.

It wasn't until he saw the other person heading towards the palace where the Seventh Prince lived that he realized: Damn it! The Seventh Prince is back!
-
The place where the "Seventh Prince" lived was always carefully maintained.

Without a second thought, Chu Jiang carried the person back to his room. At this moment, he trusted no one but the person beside him.

Seeing the mottled tear stains on the girl's face, he reached out and touched them, then ordered a palace servant to bring in hot water.

Eunuch Liu had been standing guard at the door, waiting for his master's instructions at any moment. When he saw the palace servants come out, he hurriedly asked what was going on.

When she learned that the Seventh Prince wanted hot water, she didn't suspect much. She just thought it was good that he only wanted hot water and didn't need the imperial physician, otherwise it would have been more worrying.

But soon, the palace servants brought hot water and came out from inside. The heavy, tall vermilion palace doors closed in front of him, and he belatedly realized: "What's going on? Why did you come out? That water..." Could it be that the Seventh Prince wanted to serve him himself?
This thought immediately widened Liu Gonggong's eyes, and he wished he could push open the door and take a closer look.

But he didn't dare. He could only stare helplessly inside, a sentence echoing in his mind: No, this ancestor can take care of people now?

Even in her sleep, Qin Su was restless in the room: "No, don't come any closer..."

She seemed to be having a nightmare, muttering incessantly. Chu Jiang leaned closer and patted her, his voice unusually gentle: "It's alright, it's all alright now. Sangsang, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll always be with you..."

Whether it was his comforting words or not, the girl gradually calmed down and fell asleep again.

Even so, Chu Jiang's anger did not subside; instead, it grew even more intense, even filled with hatred.

Looking at the girl's pale and thin face, his dark eyes were filled with a mixture of pity and regret. For a moment, he even regretted involving the girl.

He was an unlucky person by nature, and no one who got close to him would have a good outcome.

If it weren't for him, she wouldn't have been targeted by that beast.

but……

His calloused hand gently grasped the girl's small hand, still clenched in her sleep. His gaze shifted from regret and tenderness to a growing resolve. But he knew his own base and selfish nature all too well.

He could never let go after having experienced happiness.

He could not let her go.

Absolutely not.

From the moment she chose to stand by his side, whether she regretted it or not, he would never let her go again.

"I'm sorry, really..." I'm sorry.

The man lowered his head, his cool lips pressed against the girl's soft lips, as if a tear had fallen from the corner of her eye and landed in her dark hair.

Even if one day you hate me or resent me, I will not let you go.

Unless I die.

He gazed at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, his eyes flashing with a stubborn and resolute light.
-
When Qin Su woke up, she found that there was someone else next to her.

Looking at her awakened face, she was momentarily dazed.

The system, sensing something amiss, spoke: "The tyrant has always been by your side; he has never left."

Qin Su didn't speak. After her mind cleared, the memories from before she fell asleep slowly returned.

Looking at the man sleeping with his hand tightly in hers, the girl's eyes held a complex expression that the system couldn't decipher.

She was genuinely frightened while in the carriage.

Once again, I clearly felt the disparity in strength between men and women.

in case……

If the tyrant hadn't woken up in time, she wasn't sure what she would have done.

Qin Su closed her eyes.

What appeared before her eyes was the cold and domineering appearance of the Crown Prince.

The feeling of fear still lingered in my body; just thinking about it made me tremble slightly.

He appears so gentle and refined in front of others, but in private he is a complete pervert and madman!
"Don't cry..."

A slightly hoarse male voice suddenly rang out, and Qin Su realized that the person who had just been sleeping had woken up at some point.

The delicate skin at the corner of her eye was brushed by rough fingertips, revealing glistening teardrops.

Only then did she belatedly realize that she was crying.

"I won't let him hurt you again, believe me."

Hearing the man's tender and earnest promises, to be honest, she didn't believe a single word of them.

"real."

Chu Jiang grasped the girl's soft hand, his cold voice carrying an invisible ruthlessness: "No matter what it takes, I will never let him hurt you again."

Looking at the delicate, tearful face before him, a sense of responsibility he had never felt before welled up within him.

She was so fragile; without his protection, anyone could bully her.

He had to protect her and safeguard her, and absolutely not allow anyone to harm her.

Even he himself cannot.
