My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 1462: With or Without Feelings

Li Mengjun’s words caught An Bingfeng off guard.

These words were indeed his promise back then.

If not for this promise, Li Mengjun would absolutely have no chance to enter the Prime Minister Residence as a daughter and stay for so many years.

"Do you remember it, my lord? This was the promise you personally made years ago. Mengjun has remained unmarried all these years and is still a maiden. Do you intend to break your promise?" Seeing An Bingfeng hesitate, Li Mengjun instantly sensed a glimmer of hope and pressed further.

With another wave of his hand, the two who were holding Li Mengjun were dismissed. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

An Bingfeng paced as he spoke, "I did indeed say those words back then..." Originally, he thought that her brother sacrificing his life for him was worth the Prime Minister Residence sheltering a young maiden who was already betrothed for a few years, which wouldn’t be much trouble.

Yet he didn’t expect Li Mengjun’s fiancé to die at the time of marriage.

He had always thought that she was devoted, staying unmarried for her late fiancé, but didn’t realize she had other intentions.

"A gentleman’s word is his bond; the promise made then should be fulfilled!" Some of Li Mengjun’s fear eased away.

Because she knew that since An Bingfeng acknowledged it, he wouldn’t break his promise.

Thus, her life would no longer be threatened.

However, confronted with Li Mengjun’s questioning, An Bingfeng mocked with laughter, "If I recall correctly, you were betrothed to the Li Family of the capital city, though not extremely wealthy, it was relatively modest..."

Li Mengjun dared not respond, unsure of An Bingfeng’s intentions in suddenly mentioning the Li Family.

Especially since the Li Family’s son had been dead for so many years.

But whether Li Mengjun responded or not, it didn’t matter to An Bingfeng.

"You have remained unmarried for Li Family’s son all these years, showing true devotion. I will personally send a letter to the Li Residence, letting the Li Family choose a date to marry you into the family and hold a ghost marriage for their son, honoring your sincere heart."

Upon hearing An Bingfeng’s words, Li Mengjun’s eyes brimming with fear.

"My lord... You can’t do this, my brother died for you, you promised him to take care of me, you can’t harm me..."

An Bingfeng: "I can spare your life, just considering your brother. The Li Family, wealthy enough, can ensure you live comfortably without worries. Don’t be ungrateful; otherwise, you’ll only end up harming yourself and others."

If Li Mengjun had behaved properly in consideration of her brother, he wouldn’t be forced to press her like this.

But even within the Prime Minister Residence, she violated his taboo.

It’s because his residence never had a mistress for many years; he detests the intrigue within the household.

To preserve his sanctuary, he could even forego having a wife or daughter. What does Li Mengjun count for?

"My lord, even if Mengjun was wrong, she only wished to stay by your side quietly and dutifully. How could you be so heartless?"

"I never had feelings for you, so how can I be heartless?"

Li Mengjun: "What about Lady Yan? Did you ever have feelings for her?"

The moment’s silence made Li Mengjun’s heart ache even more, "So... my lord does have feelings!"

Even though the final choice was abandonment, choosing Lady Yan back then to bear his children indicated that she was different in the end.
