My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1460: How Dare Covet 404
After all these years, could he have finally noticed her presence?
Though secretly delighted, Li Mengjun remained cautious, "I... Mengjun wouldn’t dare, you possess such divine grace, how could Mengjun ever presume to covet you!"
"So you mean to say, you don’t like me?"
At this moment, Li Mengjun kept her head bowed, unaware of the increasingly cold expression on An Bingfeng’s face.
"No... Mengjun doesn’t dislike you, Mengjun..."
Upon hearing this, Li Mengjun instinctively retorted, disregarding her shyness and directly raised her head.
Her cheeks were flushed; although she was already in her thirties, she still retained a girlish demeanor, with skin smooth and delicate, showing no signs of aging.
Compared to the almost thirty-year-old Yan Shi, Yan Shi seemed even older than her.
But, regardless of what she looked like, in An Bingfeng’s eyes and heart, it made no difference.
Seeing the shy demeanor of Li Mengjun, An Bingfeng sneered, "One moment you dislike, the next you like—such equivocation akin to Han Shuo’s words—why don’t you just say, what’s your true purpose in staying by my side?"
An Bingfeng’s indifferent voice made Li Mengjun’s heart shudder, hastily trying to come up with an excuse.
Yet suddenly she thought.
This might already be her last chance to confess to the Lord.
Having stayed in the Prime Minister Residence, observing the Lord’s every movement in secret, she naturally knew, all these years, no woman was able to truly enter the Lord’s heart.
Even Yan Shi was merely a tool for the Lord to bear children.
This tool-like existence was something she couldn’t envy nor desire.
Now, she was already a woman in her thirties, long past the age for marriage and childbearing.
Spending her life in the Prime Minister Residence, only able to watch him from afar without even the chance to get close—is this what she truly wanted?
No, she wouldn’t accept it.
If she could truly protect him quietly, then what was the use of her various scheming efforts all these years? What a waste!
Thinking this, Li Mengjun suddenly lifted her head, determination flickering in her eyes, "My Lord, Mengjun has a fondness for you. Since the year my brother passed away, from the moment Mengjun first saw you, she has harbored affection. Mengjun desires nothing else in this life, nor dares to seek renown during turbulent times, only hoping to remain by your side, serving you, pouring tea and water, at your disposal, hoping the Lord can give Mengjun a chance."
Under An Bingfeng’s piercing gaze, the more Li Mengjun spoke, the more guilty she felt.
In the end, with her eyes dodging, she no longer dared face An Bingfeng, her heart growing increasingly uneasy.
Because she couldn’t discern the Lord’s thoughts, yet she understood well that she never held a place in his heart.
And in An Bingfeng’s heart, there was a similar heaviness.
Sikong Wuyou wasn’t lying; Li Mengjun had stayed at the Prime Minister Residence for years under various pretenses, indeed with improper intentions towards him.
At the same time, it made him increasingly disgusted. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Since becoming the Prime Minister of Dongyue, there had been countless people attempting to gain his favor, and numerous attempts to seduce him.
But no one understood how much he loathed such matters.
And now recalling the past...
An Bingfeng’s brows furrowed, his aura turning increasingly violent.
However, in order to get to the truth of the matter, he restrained the impulse to have Li Mengjun taken away and asked, "So you’re saying, the assassination of Yan Shi was also your doing?"
