Chapter 731: 360: Going too far in deception!

At that moment, the atmosphere inside the room suddenly became magnificent and ambiguous, as if a tiny spark could reignite the old flame between them.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed his racing heart.

Because Suo Lun knew, this was Zhi Ning’s beauty trap, waiting for him to embrace her and rekindle the old affection.

That way, the matters to follow would be easier to discuss.

And if Suo Lun really embraced her once again, many things would become passive.

Moreover, he felt somewhat uncomfortable because Zhi Ning clearly hated him.

At that time, he had taken advantage of her to save Tianshui City, which was completely utilitarian.

Given Zhi Ning’s character, she must have been disappointed and hateful afterwards, and it was impossible for her to forgive Suo Lun.

At this moment, she actually did not hesitate to seduce Suo Lun, all for the sake of sacrificing her dignity for her brother Zhi Li.

It was evident that in her heart, Zhi Li mattered more than Suo Lun.

...

Suo Lun forced himself to calm down.

Seeing this, a flicker of annoyance flashed through Zhi Ning’s eyes.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Suo Lun asked.

Zhi Ning said, "Do you hope for a boy or a girl?"

Suo Lun said, "I already have a daughter, so I would like a son. But considering the child’s special status, I hope for a girl."

"A boy," Zhi Ning said. "Quiet, strong, adorably pretty to the point where one can’t take their eyes off him."

Instantly, Suo Lun’s gaze was touched, filled with tenderness and affection.

Then, the two of them fell into silence!

All of a sudden, Suo Lun said, "Zhi Ning, you should not have come back."

Zhi Ning said, "When you say that, why don’t you think about the fact that you should never have touched me back then?"

Suddenly, Suo Lun was at a loss for words.

Zhi Ning said, "I originally had no intention of coming back. After giving birth to the baby, our cursed fate was supposed to be completely resolved, no more ties in this life. But unexpectedly, you were so formidable, leaving my brother disheveled and defeated, so I had no choice but to return."

Suo Lun said, "Your return won’t change anything."

Zhi Ning said, "When my brother tried to take liberties with Gui Qinshao, he was cut, and though he has healed, he’s been rendered impotent, and with only two daughters, he is destined to have no heirs."

Suo Lun frowned deeply, "So what?"

Zhi Ning said, "So, my brother wants to reconcile with you. Everything that Zhi Yan could offer you, he can too. Once he ascends the throne, he will appoint you as the ruling prince. Moreover, he will adopt our son to be the Crown Prince, our son will be the next King of Rage Wave Country."

Suo Lun’s eyes narrowed, his heart pounding fiercely.

Zhi Ning said, "In the future, you will take full control of domestic and military affairs, equivalent to the combined responsibilities of Turing Tuo and Yan Wuji today. Plus, you will be entirely in charge of the expansion and military campaigns in the Barbarian Domain to the south."

This condition was undeniably excellent, even to the extreme.

Taking a deep breath, Zhi Ning first looked down, then lifted her head again and said, "Moreover, marrying you as your wife is also included in the terms of reconciliation."

Seeing that Suo Lun’s expression remained unchanged, a tremor went through Zhi Ning’s heart.

Suo Lun said deliberately, "Zhi Ning, after the Royal City Academy exams ended, I created a miracle, becoming the top student of the Noble Academy and successfully obtained the Noble Samurai medal. At that time, your brother Zhi Li invited me to a banquet, his boldness and casual elegance, I still remember vividly. He was enthusiastically recruiting me, offering you to me in marriage, and the position of future Prime Minister. All I had to do in exchange was to be loyal to him, and lease Tianshui City to him for twenty years."

Upon these words, Zhi Ning’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Suo Lun said, "However, at that time, he was intent on marrying you to Prince Ji Min, and there was already a marriage agreement."

His implication was very clear, everything about Zhi Li was a facade.

So, this so-called plea for peace was also false.

Zhi Ning said, "But he is destined to have no heirs now, our son is the only suitable successor. Reconciling with you is his only option."

Suo Lun said, "When did he tell you about being cut by Gui Qinshao?"

Zhi Ning said, "Thirteen days ago."

Suo Lun said, "But he’s been cut for several months now, so why only tell you thirteen days ago? Such a closely guarded secret he wouldn’t tell anyone, he must have told you for only one possible reason; that he had recovered, which is why he would tell others. Otherwise, with his suspicious and ruthless nature, he would never share such a fatal secret with anyone."

"But I am his sister," Zhi Ning said. "Besides, you, Gui Xingfu, and Gui Qinshao all already know about it, it’s no longer a secret."

"I will not trust him," Suo Lun said. "Between him and me, it’s a fight to the death."

With that statement, Zhi Ning’s exquisitely beautiful face instantly lost all color, looking at Suo Lun’s incredibly handsome face, she rasped, "And what about me? What do I mean to you?"

Suo Lun remained silent.

Zhi Ning said, "I know, I’m worthless in your eyes. You only took me to use me, to save Tianshui City."

Suo Lun turned away and poured a glass of water.

Zhi Ning became even more agitated, her beautiful eyes reddened as she said, "I may be worthless, but what about your son? He’s still your own flesh and blood, can’t you consider him for once?"

Suo Lun handed the warm water to her, saying, "Zhi Ning, drink the water. We’ll talk again after you’ve calmed down."
