No one had expected Su Qian to be pregnant before they even got married. When the citizens thought of the cruel and infertile Ninth Prince, they felt that he was cuckolded.
Not only did the Seventh Miss of the Su family run away from the wedding, she even got pregnant before marriage!
Very quickly, this scandal spread like the wind through the streets of the capital, naturally reaching the Ninth Prince's residence.
In the study of the royal mansion under the hazy moonlight.
The secret guard Dong Yan was respectfully kneeling in front of a man and reporting, "Your Highness, the news is true. The Seventh Miss of the Su family is really pregnant. After killing the assassins who targeted her, she successfully escaped from the wedding."
The handsome man in the wheelchair in front of him did not say anything.
Dong Yan looked at his master nervously.
The man's black robe revealed the cold aura around him. He wore a black iron mask on his face, revealing only his beautifully shaped chin and slightly curved thin lips. His temperament seemed to be as warm as the spring breeze, but it hid a chill, like a snow lotus on the top of an iceberg, rejecting people thousands of miles away.
He sat lazily in the wheelchair, his legs seemed to be disabled, and he could not move.
Dong Yan found it hard to breathe under the man's imposing aura, and he waited quietly.
After a long while, he finally said nonchalantly, "I understand."
He actually had a none-of-his-business attitude.
Dong Yan broke out in a cold sweat. "That... The Seventh Miss of the Su family is pregnant, Your Highness." After mulling it over for a while, Dong Yan bit the bullet and said, "Many people in the capital have seen her belly. It looks like she's about to give birth."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Yan carefully observed Xiao Yan's reaction.
No man would feel good after being cuckolded, right?
However, Dong Yan didn't expect that Xiao Yan's handsome face would still have an indifferent expression on it after a long time.
It was as if it was none of his business.
"This is the portrait of the Seventh Miss. Your Highness, please take a look." Dong Yan spoke with trepidation as he presented the portrait in his hand.
He felt that the only thing that surprised him was that the Seventh Miss was not as ugly as the rumors said.
Xiao Yan's fair fingers held the brush in a standard manner. He took a casual glance at it but couldn't look away.
The woman in the painting was beautiful with fair skin and a fragrant charm. Her bone structure was extremely beautiful, especially her pair of Phoenix eyes. Even the corners of her eyes were filled with intoxicating charm.
She was wearing a bright red wedding dress, and her entire person was like a demoness transformed from a raging fire, bright and beautiful.
Dong Yan looked at the portrait as well and then thought back to what the painter had said. Although the portrait was exquisite, it didn't depict the true beauty of the woman. It was merely an imitation.
The man in the wheelchair stared at the portrait and raised his eyebrows.
It was her?
The smile on Xiao Yan's lips deepened, and he asked in an emotionless voice, "You just said she's pregnant?"
Dong Yan's body trembled violently. He didn't dare to raise his head to look at Xiao Yan, who had been cuckolded. He replied weakly, "Yes, and I heard from the onlookers that the Seventh Miss's stomach is especially big as if she's about to give birth..."
"Ha." Under Dong Yan's terrified gaze, Xiao Yan chuckled and lowered his eyes to hide the strange light in his eyes. "Very good."
Dong Yan tilted his head, thinking that he had misheard.
What did the prince say? Very good? What was good about it? Could it be that Su Qian ran away on her wedding day and made him a cuckold?
