Jiang Ning was startled, her whole body shuddered, and she quickly turned her head, her round eyes staring at him.
This surprised Li Hongyuan as well. "What's wrong with you?"
Jiang Ning sighed with relief when she realized it was him. "Your Highness, don't speak to people from behind when they are engrossed. It scares them to death."
"Didn't I tell you earlier that I would come tonight?"
"You did, but I forgot for a moment."
"How could you forget?" Li Hongyuan didn't know what to say.
Although he was only a crown prince, having multiple wives and concubines was a common thing for royal and noble men. If a man said beforehand that he would spend the night in a certain room, the woman could only be secretly pleased and prepare in advance. How could it be forgotten?
This was just another proof that she didn't care about him deep down.
Seeing his face darken, Jiang Ning hurriedly explained, "I'm used to living alone, and even Lingzi and Wenzan rarely stay in my room, so..."
