Chapter 606 - 604: Not Suitable for Children
"Actually, it’s not really...""Still not willing to tell the truth." Xiao Jinghuai interrupted coldly, "Do you really need to hide things from me?"
Song Song’s eyes flickered slightly, unable to speak for a moment. She raised her head, "Do you really want to hear it?"
At this moment, Xiao Jinghuai’s expression grew increasingly serious. This girl wouldn’t understand fear unless she was pushed—
Song Song lowered her gaze, her eyes still evasive. After stammering for a long time without saying anything meaningful, only when Xiao Jinghuai’s patience was running thin did she finally raise her head and close her eyes, saying, "The Grandfather said as long as I returned like this, and you still fell for me, it would show you’re sincere, and he would then consider..."
The man’s warm hand caressed the side of her face, and she seemed to feel the surge of his emotions.
She opened her eyes to meet his gaze, "...But before I even started my pursuit, you recognized me. Grandfather must already know, and I don’t know how he will think of it. His thoughts are too profound for me to guess."
Xiao Jinghuai sighed, pulling her into his arms, "So that’s why, why didn’t you just tell me directly?"
Song Song intentionally buried herself in his arms, clinging tightly to his clothes. This is just the smallest hurdle between them—
She still didn’t have the courage to tell him that they once had a child.
If they were to be together, he must go back with her and become her King.
He marries, she weds.
In the future at Taohuawu, she would be his heaven.
This, for him, is a sacrifice.
"Silly girl, why are you crying?" Xiao Jinghuai lifted that face, which although not pretty, seemed to have become familiar, "I think your Grandfather just wants to test my feelings for you. Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem."
Song Song’s tears suddenly couldn’t be stopped, "If only it was just that. I’m telling you, in those four years, I haven’t seen Grandfather’s real face. Every time he talked to me, there was always a screen between us. My three masters all said he’s an old monster and doesn’t meet me because he’s too ugly."
"I’m not a child anymore, how could I believe such lies? Grandfather is Grandmother’s husband, and the King’s appearance of every Empress has always been top-notch. Ugly is absolutely impossible."
"King?" Xiao Jinghuai’s brows furrowed deeply, it seems some of the information still holds, and that place indeed retains some feudal customs.
"...Hmm." Song Song responded with some hesitation, afraid he’d continue asking, quickly changing the topic, "Are you hungry? I’ll cook something for you."
"What do you want to eat? Chinese, French, Italian?"
"..."
Xiao Jinghuai looked at those small eyes full of anticipation, reaching out to stroke her head, "Actually I’m more inclined to eat you."
"But I know you wouldn’t want that, so for now, I’m not hungry—"
"Wow!" Song Song was so moved that she burst into tears, throwing herself into the man’s arms, "You’re too good to me, but I...can’t keep letting you go hungry, right?"
"Hmm?"
Song Song was indeed somewhat innocent about certain things before, but after four years she really learned a lot. Well! There’s no one specifically teaching about men and women, but she secretly saw some...erotic paintings in a hidden room at Taohuawu.
Those vividly illustrated a lot of things not suitable for young children.
At that time, she didn’t know what she was thinking, but after seeing a lot, maybe her puberty came much later than others.
Having seen them, some things naturally became clear.
Blushing, she stood on her tiptoes, quietly leaning to the man’s ear, "...If it really doesn’t work, I, I could help you."
