Ever since then, whenever Ji Min saw Zhi Yan, he was like a mouse seeing a cat, but when he saw Zhi Ning, he'd still bare his teeth and brandish his claws, not daring to truly bully her.
Despite that, Zhi Ning still managed to rally the other kids in the class to ostracize Zhi Yan, because Zhi Yan had a subdued nature and was exceedingly beautiful, so she had always been somewhat distant from everyone else.
But Zhi Yan didn't seem to care and kept trying to take care of Zhi Ning.
Every time she looked at Zhi Ning, her gaze was like today's, as if she was looking at a child.
"What are you planning to do?" Zhi Yan asked.
"Run away," said the Commandery Princess Zhi Ning. "Give birth to the child, then find a good family to foster him."
"You don't plan on raising him yourself?" asked Zhi Yan.
"If I keep him by my side, he won't survive," Zhi Ning replied. "My brother will certainly kill him."
Zhi Yan asked, "Where are you planning to run to?"
