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

Chapter 10: Great Fatherly Love

This turn of events was beyond what she had expected. She was extremely surprised.

She first looked at the banknotes, then at the cold man holding them. She swallowed hard.

“I-I want it.”

In order to maintain her infatuated persona, she hastily added,

“As long as it’s from the Duke, I want it!”

Xiao Juan took in her little expression.

Greedy, gluttony, streetsmart.

Quite a lot of minor problems, but not a big one.

Raising such a woman in the house was barely acceptable.

He put down the banknotes. “Return the jade pendant to me. Here’s the money. We’re even.”

Yu Niaoniao was pleasantly surprised. He had actually given her so much money!

Logically speaking, the jade pendant belonged to Duke Lang, so it was natural for it to be returned to its owner. She did not expect him to be willing to pay. This was a pleasant surprise!

She took the banknote with both hands and beamed.

“Thank you, Your Highness! You’re really the best person in the world!”

Xiao Juan’s expression was rather sarcastic. “This is the first time I’ve heard someone describe me as a good person.”

Yu Niaoniao put the banknotes into her pocket and said righteously, “That’s because they are blind and can’t see the good in Your Highness.”

Xiao Juan stood up, planning to leave.

He had endless things to do every day. It was already very rare for him to take some time to come here to see Yu Niaoniao. He really did not have time to continue delaying here.

Yu Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat and she could not help but ask.

“Aren’t you going to clear the air with the emperor?”

Xiao Juan asked, “Clarify what?”

Yu Niaoniao scratched the back of her head and felt a little embarrassed. “It’s those rumors about me and you. Although I didn’t expect things to develop to this extent, this matter was caused by me after all. If you want to go to the emperor to clarify this matter, I can help testify.”

If she were in Prince Lang’s shoes, she would definitely not be willing to be misunderstood like this.

However, Xiao Juan only replied indifferently.

“That’s not necessary.”

Yu Niaoniao stared at him blankly. “Huh?”

“His Majesty’s word is golden and cannot be changed.”

Yu Qianqian said, “But this matter concerns your lifelong happiness. Are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?”

Xiao Juan glanced at her indifferently.

“I do not wish to repeat myself.”

With that, he pulled open the door and strode out.

Yu Yuanyuan looked at his long back and felt confused.

What a weirdo!

Dang Gui ran in and asked anxiously.

“Miss, how are you? Did Duke Lang hit you?”

Yu Niaoniao was puzzled. “Why would he hit me for no reason?”

Dang Gui said, “You damaged his reputation. Didn’t he come here to settle scores with you?”

“No, no, you’re thinking too narrowly of him. Prince Lang is a very magnanimous person!”

At this point, Yu Niaoniao took out the banknotes from her pocket and deliberately waved them in front of Dang Gui.

“Do you see that? These were all given to me by Duke Lang. It’s a total of 250 taels. It’s much better than that stingy father of mine!”

Dang Gui was stunned.

After learning that he had inexplicably become a father, not only did the legendary Duke Lang not get angry, he even gave money to the child’s mother.

What kind of touching fatherly love was this?!

Yu Niaoniao winked at her.

“Do you want to go out and have some fun?”

Since she was rich, of course she had to go out and enjoy herself.

Dang Gui hesitated. “But Master won’t let you go out...”

Yu Niaoniao smiled slyly. “Then don’t let him know.”
