Rumor Has It That I’m Pregnant with His Highness’ Child

235 Confession

Lu Yao didn't like the feeling of being forced to do something.

But he knew in his heart that with his current strength, he could not compete with his father.

Even if he refused to go with the guards, the guards would try to force him away.

After all, he was too weak.

He took a deep breath and said slowly.

"It's getting late today, so I'll leave for Xingning tomorrow."

Lu Shiliu: "Then please have a good rest, the eldest son. The subordinates will stay in the inn to protect your safety."

Lu Yao didn't say anything, just turned around and left.

He knocked on Angelica's door.

"Can I go in?"

Angelica first looked at the guards standing outside, and then nodded: "Yes."

She turned sideways, let Lu Yao in, and closed the door with one hand.

Lu Yao looked at Angelica and said.

"You must have seen the situation outside. I have to follow them home tomorrow. Angelica, would you like to come with me?"

Angelica whispered: "I'm not ready to talk about marriage now, can we... Can we get along for a while and see?"

After saying that, her heart froze.

She was very nervous, afraid that the other party would get angry because of it.

Lu Yao sighed.

"I'm in a hurry. I didn't give you time to adapt. It's okay, as long as you don't reject me. Let's take it slow. I'll be waiting for you."

Angelica relax.

She was very moved: "Thank you, Master Lu."

Lu Yao: "You and I don't need to say thank you. Also, don't call me Mr. Lu anymore. I'm Yunzhong. People close to me call me Yunzhong, so you can call me the same."

Angelica blushed and whispered softly.

"Young Master Yun Zhong."

Lu Yao was helpless, she was still too cautious.

But he also knew that the other party still needed time to adapt, so he did not force her to do what she said.

"If you don't come with me, then we will part ways tomorrow, but you don't have to worry too much. When you arrive in Xingning, you can come to the county government to find me, as long as you take out the jade pendant I gave you, The porter will let you in."

Angelica stared at him in a daze: "The county government?"

Now, there is no need to hide it any longer.

Lu Yao explained truthfully: "Lu Luiguang, the governor of Liaodong County, is my father."

Angelica was surprised: "You are the son of the county governor!"

No wonder he knew so much about Liaodong County, no wonder the officials in Liaodong County treated him so respectfully.

Combined with his status as the son of the county governor, this all makes sense.

Lu Yao took a step forward, held her hand, and said earnestly.

"I know I shouldn't lie to you, it's my fault, I apologize to you, I'm sorry, don't be angry, okay?"

Angelica shook his head: "I'm not angry."

She was telling the truth.

She herself has not been honest with the other party, so how can she ask the other party to say something?

Seeing that she was so well-behaved and sensible, Lu Yao loved her more and more in his heart.

"Don't worry, I will never tell you a lie again in the future."

Angelica is a little guilty.

She still has not dared to confess her true origin.

She withdrew her hand and whispered.

"When are you leaving tomorrow?"

Lu Yao: "I should leave at dawn."

He was very reluctant to Angelica and couldn't help asking.

"Are you really not considering going with us?"

Angelica shook his head: "No."

She wants to follow Yu Weiwei, Yu Weiyi still has things to do, so she definitely can't go with the people from the county governor's office.

Lu Yao was disappointed.

But he didn't force it, but said warmly.

"The wound on your body is not yet healed. Take a good rest during this time. Don't rush on your way. When you arrive in Xingning, remember to come to me as soon as possible."

Angelica nodded to show that she knew.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously.

"You are the son of the county governor and come from a famous family. Will your family allow you to be with me?"

Lu Yao couldn't answer this question.

He could only promise.

"I can assure you that no matter whether others accept you or not, I will only recognize you as a wife for the rest of my life!

I will not marry anyone other than you. "

Angelica was both worried and moved.

What worries me is the Lu family's attitude towards her, and what is moved is Lu Yao's firmness in this relationship.

She blushed and said, "I trust you."

Lu Yao looked at her pretty face and wanted to reach out to touch her, but he was afraid that doing so would offend her, so he could only suppress the impulse in his heart.

Angelica hesitated: "There is one more thing, I want to ask you."

Lu Yao asked her to ask.

Angelica: "Who is the Tang Guixi you mentioned earlier?"

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat.

Why did she suddenly ask Tang Guixi? Could it be that she already knew about Tang Guixi's engagement with him?

He asked nervously.

"What are you asking this for?"

Angelica dryly said: "It's nothing, I was a little curious when I heard you mention her before, so I asked casually."

When Lu Yao mentioned the name Tang Guixi before, Angelica felt a little familiar.

She lost her memory, the past was a blank.

Anything that makes her feel familiar is extremely important to her.

She didn't know Lu Yao very well before, so she didn't want to ask too much.

Now that Lu Yao is leaving soon, she has to ask things clearly.

Lu Yao's heart is at war between heaven and man.

Reason told him that he should tell the truth to Angelica.

But emotionally, he felt scared.

He and Angelica have just started, and Angelica's relationship with him is still unstable. If he tells the truth that he has a marriage contract at this time, his relationship with Angelica will probably end here.

It was an ending he absolutely did not want to accept.

After a long silence, Lu Yao spoke.

"Tang Guixi is Tang Pei's only daughter. The Tang family and our Lu family are family friends. I met Tang Guixi when I was a child, and we haven't communicated since then."

Angelica asked, "What kind of person is Tang Guixi?"

Lu Yao answered truthfully: "I don't have much contact with her, and I don't know her well. I heard that she is outgoing, strong in martial arts, and a hero in women's middle school."

Angelica tried hard to recall, but his mind was always blank, and no relevant memory was found.

But she wouldn't give up.

That familiarity doesn't come out of nowhere.

She suspected that she might have known Tang Guixi before.

If she can find Tang Guixi, maybe she can know her past

So she asked again.

"Do you know where to find Tang Guixi?"

Lu Yao was nervous: "Why are you looking for her? Do you know each other?"

Angelica endured a guilty conscience, and made up a reason: "I think she is very powerful, and I want to make friends with her."

Lu Yao didn't want her to see Tang Guixi, so he shied away.

"Tang Guixi is very busy. She often follows General Zhengyuan in the barracks. Ordinary people usually don't see her."

Without waiting for Angelica to ask questions, Lu Yao spoke first.
