Chapter 1691 - 1691: Dantai Nichang

"Nothing."

The young man clearly didn't intend to explain to the woman, letting her gently soothe him, while he continued to gaze into the night sky, filled with lightning and thunder, his gaze profound.

"You're hiding something from me!"

The woman moved to stand in front of the young man, let out a soft hum, and expressed her discontent.

By the flashes of lightning, the woman's stunning face became even more apparent, a face as beautiful as could be compared even with Nangong Qingcheng; perhaps if Nangong Qingcheng grew a few more years, she would be just like this.

"Really, it's nothing."

The young man smiled, holding the woman's snow-white arms, "I just suddenly got an ominous feeling, like losing a limb, but as you know, it's just a small issue for me..."

Earlier, he had been lying in bed, enjoying the woman's exquisite service, but suddenly his right eyelid kept twitching, making him slightly uneasy, prompting him to push the woman away and walk to the window.

"How could that be? You are the mighty Young Master Ying; what could trouble you in this world? Who would dare hurt you? Surely it's just the rain making you restless..."

The woman smiled charmingly at the young man.

The young man shook his head.

He didn't quite know how to explain, but he rarely had that kind of uneasy feeling; when he did, it was always spot-on.

So, which of his brothers was in trouble this time?

"What, is there really something?" The woman's smile faltered, and she asked.

"No." The young man laughed and shook his head, indicating he wouldn't think about it anymore.

He rarely had the chance to spend a romantic night with the woman, and he didn't want to think too much, just wanted to relax.

"Haha, I knew it; even if the sky falls, it won't trouble my Young Master Ying, who is the number one man in China." The woman, like the enchanting Su Daji, extended her slender arms to hook around the man's neck.

"Dantai Nichang, it's fine if others call me Young Master Ying, but you shouldn't; it feels odd to me..." The young man said with a bitter smile.

"No! Precisely because everyone calls you Young Master Ying, I must call you that too; it emphasizes your extraordinary status, and even I am just your little woman..."

The woman, Dantai Nichang, spoke charmingly.

"Haha, you're no ordinary little woman; destined to grace the world someday!"

The young man smiled, playfully pinching Dantai Nichang's fair chin, asking, "In a hurry?"

"If you're not in a hurry, why should I be?"

Dantai Nichang smiled alluringly.

"Dantai Nichang, I like your sensible nature; it makes you surpass ninety-nine percent of women in this world. No wonder you're destined to become the mother of the nation, ruling the world with me!"

The young man laughed, suddenly lifting Dantai Nichang by the waist, and carrying her back to the large bed.

Then, he placed the entirely snow-white Dantai Nichang onto it.

"Haha!"

Dantai Nichang thoroughly enjoyed being put in bed, and immediately stretched out a delicate foot into the young man's hand, indulging his playfulness.

The young man also held Dantai Nichang's cool little feet and sat down, smiling as he said, "Dantai Nichang, the two of us have always been attracted to each other since childhood. Our union is not only a love match but also a beneficial alliance between the Ying and Dantai families, a perfect match. Once I ascend the throne and we marry, no one in China will threaten us anymore; even the Jiang Family and lesser families like the Murong Family will be left far behind, and this nation will be an impenetrable fort."

"Darling, do you think discussing such matters is appropriate while you have a woman like me beside you on this beautiful, cold, rainy night?"

Dantai Nichang laughed dreamily, "A moment on a spring night is worth a thousand gold; I prefer your actions over words..."

"Of course. It's just that during moments like this, I think about the marriage contract your grandfather arranged for you back then. Now it's clear your grandfather was truly short-sighted and saw wrongly."

The young man chuckled while playing with Dantai Nichang's two gem-like feet.

"Why mention that dead man for no reason?"

Dantai Nichang finally showed some displeasure, "He's been dead for so long; you're such a killjoy."

"A killjoy, but what if I told you he might still be alive?" The young man asked with a playful smile.

Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap outside illuminated the room, revealing it for a moment.

Dantai Nichang immediately retracted her charming and languid expression, pulled back her well-maintained beautiful feet, stood up abruptly, and exclaimed, "What are you saying, he's still alive?!"

The young man smiled, suddenly standing with his hands behind his back.

"Back then, your grandfather didn't fancy me, but him!"

"To swiftly betroth you to him, actualizing the alliance of the Jiang and Dantai families, he even arranged a childhood engagement and kicked our Ying Family out."

"But he never dreamed that his unilateral decision wouldn't pass within your family and instead directly triggered family division and infighting."

"And he couldn't have expected, you had already set your eyes on me! The Capital City's number-one beauty, you had already given me your first love in middle school, devoted yourself completely…"

"Your grandfather soon paid the price for his impulsive decision. Fortunately, after that, your Second Young Master handled the crisis prudently and decisively declared the engagement annulled, abandoned the Jiang Family, and reestablished the marriage alliance with me, thus salvaging the situation."

"This was the infamous high-stakes gambit, chaos, and the root of the feud between the Jiang Family and my Ying Family, along with your Dantai Family..."

Dantai Nichang's face turned red then pale, extremely complex.

Of course, she knew the young man was talking about the old stories and that they were true!

However, what she couldn't believe was that the abandoned son, expelled due to the failed marriage alliance and Jiang Family's internal conflict, could still be alive?

This is entirely beyond belief!

"Are you serious?"

Dantai Nichang asked coldly, "Back then, you personally told me you sent people to hunt him down and deal with him, and now you say he's still alive, what does that mean?"

"What's this, getting angry?"

The young man smiled, suddenly turning to pinch Dantai Nichang's chin, "We agreed not to rush; I just praised you..."

"Ying Zheng, stop rambling!"

Dantai Nichang impatiently slapped his hand away, already without any desire for flirting and tender moments, because if her former fiancé were still alive, it would have a major impact, even casting a shadow over her family again!

"Tell me, what's really going on? How could he possibly be alive? What did you actually do back then?" She asked coldly!
