Fierce Consort

Chapter 153

Because I truly believe that apart from myself, no one else can make her happy!

The Yun Prince's thoughts and actions were something an ordinary person like Shen Ran couldn't understand. However, these words truly left an impression on him and gave rise to waves.
Shen Ran had to admit that he had secretly compared himself to Yan Ting before.

Without a doubt, he was inferior in every way.
Very often, he hated his own sense of inferiority. He had clearly left, so why did he still keep track of her life like a mouse that couldn't stand the light?

As time slowly passed, Yan Ting remained in place while he himself rose higher and higher. When Yan Ting was brought over to the border by the Zhenguo Duke, the reason he was shunned wasn't just because many disdained those who relied on connections. Shen Ran also played a part in it.

On the surface, Shen Ran was always widely known to be upright and plain spoken. Only when it came to this matter was his heart so sinister he didn't dare look at himself.

He had analyzed his attitude before. It was all due to him being unresigned.

He had run away, but was still unresigned. What a despicably timid person he was.

"...Because I truly believe that apart from myself, no one else can make her happy!"

If he had such convictions back then, would things have turned out differently?

Shen Ran had only found out what Shen Yi Yao had experienced after he returned to the capital. It turns out that there were so many regrets under the surface of this widow. He had blamed himself for not being braver back then. Perhaps she wouldn't have suffered all this....

But he hid all his emotions as he usually did. Only when he heard Luo Huai Yuan's words did the waves start billowing inside.

This day they managed to catch quite a few fish as expected. Luo Huai Yuan ordered the kitchen to make a feast of it.

All sorts of cooking methods were present, expanding their horizons.

Shen Ran was unusually quiet at the table. Yan Yan looked at Luo Huai Yuan weirdly. He gave her an innocent smile.

That night the two got in bed.

When this matter was mentioned, Luo Huai Yuan concluded: "We've already done what we should. The rest will depend on those two elders. Ai, I have to say, this situation is really stressful. He should be more like myself. Make a move the moment there's any interest. Otherwise, the beauty will be snatched away. Look how happy the two of us are. The beauty is mine, we're going to have kids, and the Jin Prince that bastard can go die by himself!"

This fellow was constantly brooding over the Jin Prince's proposal to Yan Yan.

Yan Yan pursed her lips in a smile and gave him a shove. He licked his lips and leaned over to Yan Yan's stomach, mumbling: "Good baby, give daddy a kick."

Every since the fetus started moving, this was Luo Huai Yuan's favorite game.

Before his voice fell, Yan Yan felt her stomach move. The person on her stomach exclaimed: "Aiyo, so obedient!"

Yan Yan was in between laughter and tears: "Enough, enough. Let's hurry and rest."

Shen Ran didn't show any signs of movement, disappointing Luo Huai Yuan who had been responsible for enlightening him.

Perhaps people in ancient times were just more reserved and introverted. Since they were bystanders, they could only make suggestions but couldn't help much beyond that.

Shen Yi Yao was probably going stay until after her daughter gave birth. The trip hadn't been easy after all. Without seeing her give birth safely, how could she be willing to leave?
