Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation   Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Qingxue could not help but feel curious.

She vaguely felt that the system seemed to be deliberately showing the truth in front of her so that she and Rong Zhan could figure out the cause and effect of what happened that year as soon as possible.

However, it was just a guess. She was not sure if her guess was right, so she could only put this matter aside for the time being and wait for another day when she was alone to find the little butler to ask about the situation.

Now, she needed to find a reasonable reason to explain this matter.

“Didn’t I tell you that I often dream? This time, it was also because I had a dream. I accidentally dreamed of a box like this in the old prince’s room. You also know that every time 1 dream, it means that something will happen. Although I felt that it was inappropriate, I still went to the old prince’s room to take this sandalwood box away.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she opened her arms and hugged Rong Zhan’s slender waist. She raised her small face and looked at the man in front of her innocently. “l was wrong in this matter. If the old prince blames me, you must protect me, ‘

In fact, both of them knew that the old prince would not mind such a small matter.

However, when he saw Gu Qingxue looking at him with an innocent gaze, Rong Zhan chuckled. He hugged her and lay down on the bed. Her figure was reflected in his eyes. “Alright, if grandfather wants to blame you, let grandfather blame me. I definitely won’t let you suffer any reprimand.”

Gu Qingxue knew very well that Rong Zhan was serious. She did not have to worry about anyone hurting her as long as this man was around.

At the thought of this, Gu Qingxue calmed down. Her eyelids started to twitch uncontrollably. “Ah Zhan, I’ m sleepy.”

Gu Qingxue’s soft words sounded like she was acting coquettishly. Rong Zhan planted a kiss between her eyebrows. “Go to sleep. If you have anything to say, wait until tomorrow.”

Rong Zhan’s scent filled her every breath. Gu Qingxue closed her eyes in relief and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Rong Zhan woke up, washed up, and changed his clothes before waiting for Gu Qingxue. He sat at the table without any expression on his face and did not say a word. His serious expression made Gu Qingxue unable to hold back her laughter.

“Your Royal Highness, you don’t have to be so nervous. When you have breakfast with the children, you can ask them a little and you’ll know what they’re thinking.” Gu Qingxue did not expect Rong Zhan to be so nervous. Looking at him, she could not help but have the urge to tease him. “Ah Zhan, actually, I’m quite curious. You’re both your biological father and stepfather, right? If the children only want a stepfather and not a biological father, what should you do then?”

Gu Qingxue’s words made Rong Zhan fall into deep thought.

Gu Qingxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Rong Zhan before continuing to ask, “If the children might not forgive you after knowing the truth, do you still want to tell them the truth?”

Rong Zhan thought for a moment and nodded firmly. “Of course I do.”

Rong Zhan’s answer surprised Gu Qingxue. She blinked at the man in front of her and said from the bottom of her heart, “I thought you wouldn’t want to say it.”

“I’m indeed very nervous. I don’t know how to say it, nor do I know how the children would react when they heard about this, but I never thought of hiding the truth from them. Since things have come to this, if they really can’t forgive me, I can’t force them. I can only do my best to make them accept me..
