Chapter 228: Chapter 229: Asking for Forgiveness

Shao He warily watched the outer wall, while Qing Shan and Qingxia took up defensive postures.

Soon, a familiar yet strange figure came into view. The man was clad in a purple brocade robe, with a jade belt around his waist, strikingly handsome, his brows revealing a touch of sharpness and domineering aura.

This person was none other than Pei Huaian from the neighboring courtyard.

Upon seeing him, Shao He and the others heaved a sigh of relief, having thought that it was Chu Yu coming, since he had always been plotting to take the child back.

“Oh, how noble the Fifth Prince is to climb over the wall into a lady’s courtyard. If word of this spreads, who knows what people will say. Don’t blame me if it hinders your chances of marriage in the future,” Shao He sneered coldly at him.

Pei Huaian brushed off the dust from his clothes and walked over, flattering her, “It’s just as well, for the person I want to marry is right here, and not elsewhere.”

“How many women has the mouth of the Fifth Prince deceived? I’m not as gullible as others. This one time is enough!” Shao He mentioned again how he had concealed the fact that he was the father of the child.

Pei Huaian immediately apologised, “I did not intentionally hide it; it was just that I wasn’t sure at the time, and later I kept silent in order to protect you.”

“No matter your reasons, you indeed deceived me first, and I never forgive those who deceive me easily, Fifth Prince. You should leave the way you came.”

Having said that, she turned to leave.

Pei Huaian grabbed her arm and wrapped his arms around her, shamelessly clinging to her, “Shao He, I’m truly afraid that if your identities were exposed, you would face even more harm and danger.”

“I really never meant to hide anything from you, and I never thought of not acknowledging you and the child, but at that time, all I could do was silently protect you.”

The complexity in his deep black eyes seemed genuine and didn’t look like he was lying.

Listening to his earnest words, Shao He couldn’t help but be moved and suddenly asked, “The paternity test from the Third Prince, it was bought for you, wasn’t it?”

Pei Huaian quickly realized that Shao He suspected he didn’t believe the child was his own and hurriedly explained, “No, I have never doubted the child’s identity and never intended to use it to test the paternity between the child and me.”

Pei Huaian even took out a brand-new paternity test to show her, fearing she wouldn’t believe him and that it would deepen the misunderstanding.

Shao He looked up at him and finally believed what he said, but still spoke in a cool tone, “And what about Princess Huimin?”

“Don’t worry, I will handle my aunt. I won’t let you be troubled at all,” Pei Huaian promised with conviction.

Only then did Shao He nod, satisfied.

Pei Huaian lowered his gaze, pondering for a long while. Looking at the silent person before him, he cautiously asked, “Have you forgiven me yet?”

Shao He arched her eyebrows, objectively analyzing, “I can’t strip you of your right as the child’s father, after all, you have indeed protected the child.”

On this account alone, Pei Huaian was much better than a scoundrel. Although he had always concealed his identity, his reasons could be deemed justifiable.

Hearing her words, Pei Huaian finally completely relaxed and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

He held Shao He’s hand tightly, gazing tenderly at her, and presumptuously asked, “Would you then agree to marry me? When can I marry you?”

His words made Shao He’s heart skip a beat, and she couldn’t deny that what Pei Huaian had just said had touched something deep inside her, causing her to feel unsettled.

She lowered her eyelids slightly, concealing the turmoil of emotions within her.

After a long time…

“I will not marry you. Marry whoever you want, but you must not harm the child.”

Upon hearing this, Pei Huaian immediately shook his head, “I won’t, I’ll never touch anyone else in my life besides you and the child.”

“That’s your own business and has nothing to do with me,” Shao He said indifferently.

Knowing she still harbored feelings about the past, Pei Huaian didn’t insist, as such matters had to be approached gradually, especially since she currently had no intention of marrying anyway.

At this moment, Nanny Zhang happened to come out with little Linzhang, who, upon seeing his father he hadn’t seen for ages, joyfully waved his arms and toddled towards him.

Pei Huaian strode over, lifted the child in his arms, and unabashedly taught him to call out ‘Daddy’.

Nanny Zhang, who was unaware of the situation, was stunned and cast a puzzled glance toward Qing Shan, who shook her head helplessly. Then her gaze shifted to Qingxia.

Qingxia whispered, “It’s a long story.”

Nanny Zhang, realizing the complexity, chose not to pursue the matter further.

Shao He, seeing the man teaching the child to call out ‘Daddy,’ didn’t stop him, but said coldly, “Chu Yu is a dangerous man. He has always been covetous of the child. You need to resolve the situation with him first, and the Shao Family is not innocent in the recent events. They deserve a lesson, and as the child’s father, it’s your responsibility.”

“Alright, I’m already making trouble for them,” Pei Huaian reported, recounting the difficulties he had created for both parties.

“The case in Chu Yu’s hands involves the Second Prince, and it won’t be easy to resolve. If he can’t find anything, he will be punished by the emperor, but if he angers the Second Prince, the consequences will be even more dire.”

Thus, no matter whether Chu Yu investigates the case or not, he won’t end up well.
