章節 226: Even your lips are fine

"Commander Ning, I cannot stay away from Ning Hua. I love her and I wish to take her as my wife. Please don't make us separate," Wangjie requested. He had specially come to see Ning Chengli in the evening despite the heavy rain.

"Your Highness, my daughter could have lost her life. Did you catch the culprit? If yes, then only we will further talk on this," Ning Chengli clarified to him.

Wangjie felt that Ning Chengli was adamant about not marrying them. He understood a father's frustration. But he would not give up Ning Hua at any cost. Also, he had decided to ask Xianwu if he found out any evidence against the Grand Empress Dowager.

"I'll escort back the prince to the palace if he has nothing more to say," Ning Chengli stood up from his place.

"I will go by myself. Please stay with Ning Hua," Wangjie opined and left his seat. "The culprit will definitely be punished soon, Commander Ning," he asserted.
