"What's wrong? Does it still hurt? Did I hit you too hard yesterday?" Yu Jingchen was filled with regret. Nan Zhiyun looked so miserable that his heart ached.
"It hurts so much~ And they all came to laugh at me. How could His Majesty say such a thing?" Nan Zhiyun "questioned" Yu Jingchen.
Yu Jingchen frowned slightly and glanced at Xing Lai, who understood immediately and had someone investigate.
"Who dares to laugh at you? Besides, no one knows about yesterday." Yu Jingchen had ensured that no extra people were present when he "dealt with" Nan Zhiyun yesterday. They clearly knew what they could and couldn't see. Even if one or two people saw something, they would absolutely not dare to speak of it.
"Clearly, they all know. Even Luo Yuncheng knows, and he came to ask today." Nan Zhiyun hugged Yu Jingchen's neck, acting more and more like a child.
Luo Yuncheng? Yu Jingchen's expression changed slightly upon hearing the name.
"Why did he come? What did he say to you?" Yu Jingchen coaxed Nan Zhiyun, feeling that Luo Yuncheng seemed like a scoundrel... like a bad guy tricking a child.
"He just came to ask if I was alright, and if Your Majesty had punished me too severely. Your Majesty, you said they didn't know, but clearly, everyone knows." Nan Zhiyun still believed that everyone knew she had been spanked on the buttocks and palms by Yu Jingchen.
"Be good, they won't know. No one will say a word. Besides, who dares to laugh at you? Don't mind them, I'll have someone investigate thoroughly in a moment." Yu Jingchen said. He thought that they must have heard about him ordering the execution rod last night and therefore assumed Nan Zhiyun was being punished.
However... whether it was truly a corporal punishment or not, it was not for them to comment on.
"Meet less with Luo Yuncheng in the future. He has ill intentions towards you." Yu Jingchen lightly flicked Nan Zhiyun's nose. Ill intentions? Nan Zhiyun was a bit confused. Why would he have ill intentions? She felt Luo Yuncheng took good care of her, except for his mother, who was truly detestable.
Yu Jingchen looked at Nan Zhiyun's bewildered expression with some helplessness. Finally, he told Nan Zhiyun, explaining: "He likes you." Nan Zhiyun wouldn't understand such matters, but he could tell her, it was better to be clear.
Luo Yuncheng likes me? Nan Zhiyun was stunned by the statement. How could that be possible?
"Our Xiao Yun'er is too charming, that's why people like her. I'll have to keep a close eye on you from now on." Yu Jingchen found Nan Zhiyun's innocent expression amusing.
The girl was young, and truly naive, making Yu Jingchen even more unable to resist.
"Why is Xiao Yun'er so lovable? Hmm?" As he spoke, Yu Jingchen also kissed Nan Zhiyun's cheek.
The young girl was incredibly delicate. Up close, he could even see the fine downy hairs on her face, her soft, tender skin.
"I don't know..." Nan Zhiyun was truly startled when Yu Jingchen said Luo Yuncheng liked her. She didn't even know, so how could His Majesty know? Thinking this, Nan Zhiyun directly asked: "How does Your Majesty know?"
"Because... I know everything." Yu Jingchen said teasingly.
Nan Zhiyun: "..."
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. In short, stay away from him in the future. If he truly bothers you, send someone to find me, okay?" Yu Jingchen asked Nan Zhiyun. In saying this, he also wanted to gauge Nan Zhiyun's attitude towards Luo Yuncheng.
