Admitting fondness

  "Why not? Ling Xue'er is indeed a good girl, but if you don't like her, why are you delaying her?" Ling Xue looked at her son's tense expression and couldn't help but secretly smile. It seemed that her son, who was emotionally as blank as a piece of paper, had finally moved his mortal heart.

  "I... " liked her! The last three words almost slipped out, but at the critical moment, he endured it.

  What is he thinking? How can he possibly like that rude and ungrateful woman, Feng Jinyu, have you gone mad?

  No one knows a child better than their mother. Ling Xue'er apparently saw his intense struggle and hesitation, and at the critical moment, she added fuel to the fire, "Ah, ah, it's said that Xiaoye's ex-boyfriend is not bad either. If Xiaoye really ran away with him, her mother could really understand her!"

  Damn it, Fang Luo Ze. He now hates these three words the most. What's wrong with him? Where is he not good enough? That woman has no eyes, and even his mother's eyes are not good for her?

  "His Highness will absolutely never give her a chance to elope!" Feng Jin Yu clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with a fierce light.

  " Eloping? Ah? Such a serious word, are you sure you want to use it on Xiao Xi? After all, you two aren't married yet, and if she falls in love with someone else, that's also within reason!"

  "She will be this lord's woman sooner or later!" That damned empress dowager was still teasing him at a time like this.

  "Mother, it's the same old thing. If you're just looking for a fling and don't like her, then it's better to let her go. The Feng royal family has never had a history of forcing commoner girls into marriage!"

  "Empress Dowager!" Feng Jin's face sank, and he let out a low growl.

  Must he be forced to say those words?!

  Yes, he admitted it, he really had feelings for that rough and unreasonable woman. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to bear wanting to care for her when she was crying alone, worrying if she would be afraid or sleepless in the dark night, and he also wouldn't feel so angry...so heartbroken when seeing her with another man.

  He never thought that Feng Jin Yu would ultimately fall into the hands of a woman, and it was a woman he originally detested. He had been escaping, unable to accept this himself. If not for his mother forcing him to face reality today, perhaps he wouldn't have acknowledged his true thoughts in his heart.

  Mother and son are connected at heart, although he still hasn't said anything, his expression has already told her the answer. Ling Xue'er was very relieved in her heart, Jin'er could recognize her own emotions early on, this is truly a wonderful thing.

  "Has it really been decided?" This sentence has a very deep meaning! Has it really been decided to fall in love with her? Or is it really decided that no one else will be married but her?

  Feng Jin lowered his head, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his pale face. "Just as Mother said, a forced melon is not sweet. All along, it was just me being overly sentimental!"

  Yes, now apart from using strong measures and threatening her with her family, what other way can he use to keep her by his side? Perhaps if it weren't for his threats, she would have already eloped with Fang Luo Ze. After all, they were originally a couple, while he was just a stranger she had met only a few days ago. Her reaction towards him was clearly one of disgust!
