Kapitel 538: Chapter 538: If You Feel Pity for a Man

Li Hongyuan had no reason to stay any longer.

Before leaving, he said something.

"Jiang Ning, no matter what I do, I can't earn your true heart."

"Your Highness, take care, I won't see you off."

Jiang Ning kneeled down and bowed gracefully.

Her golden silk embroidered shoes shone under the moonlight.

Li Hongyuan glanced at them and left with a flick of his sleeve.

Jiang Ning watched him walk away, and moments later, two Imperial Guard soldiers appeared and stood at the door like two iron towers.

"Close the door!"

Jiang Ning ordered the door to be closed, keeping the guards out of sight.

Huang Ying brought a cloak and draped it over her.

"Where are the children?" Jiang Ning asked.

"The little Highnesses were playing happily today, maybe they were tired, they went to bed early." Huang Ying said softly, "It's getting late, and it's chilly outside. Let's go back inside, Master."

"Let's sit for a little while longer. Look how beautiful the moon is."
